Upbit and Bithumb to compensate users $2.4 million for outages during South Koreas martial law
Odaily News South Korean crypto exchanges Upbit and Bithumb have decided to compensate investors for losses caused by a network outage on December 3 last year (the South Korean martial law incident). It is reported that this incident is the largest number of users affected and the largest amount of compensation in the history of system failures in South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges. Upbit will pay 3.1 billion won (about 2.2 million US dollars) to compensate for 596 system failure incidents, while Bithumb will pay 377.5 million won (about 264,000 US dollars) to compensate for 124 incidents. However, since the compensation is carried out in accordance with the internal regulations of each exchange, it is difficult to judge whether investor protection has been properly implemented. Financial regulatory authorities are conducting on-site inspections to check the implementation of the exchanges rectification plan and the handling of civil complaints. Upbit and Bithumb are finalizing compensation negotiations with investors, and the compensation amount may increase slightly once the negotiations are completed. Coinone, Korbit, Gopax, etc. are not affected. (Yonhap News Agency)
