South Korea’s top bitcoin exchanges are all effected, including Bithumb, Coinone, and Korbit. Banks that have made announcements include Shinhan Bank, Korea Development Bank, and Industrial Bank of Korea.

Sort:  

A plan, but not a ban in effect yet. I'm not confident it will go through ... but who knows, right?

I pray it doesn't because this could really be discouraging. Bitcoin price might drop.

You maybe right but you never can tell, a plan coming to reality. I wonder if they are not seeing the future currency.
