In South Korea, over 33,000 crypto investors are locked out of approximately $13 million in assets due to the shutdown of several exchanges, as reported on October 14. Fourteen exchanges have closed or paused operations in line with new regulations under the Virtual Asset User Protection Act. Representative Kang Min-Kuk revealed that the situation could worsen, with around 30.7 billion won ($22 million) potentially tied up in temporarily halted platforms. Among the affected exchanges, Cashierest held the most assets at 13 billion won ($9.4 million). As regulatory pressures rise, more exchanges might follow suit, raising concerns for investors seeking to reclaim their funds.
