South Korean authorities have launched an investigation into Upbit, the country's largest cryptocurrency exchange, over suspected large-scale violations of Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations discovered during the company's business license renewal process. The government found that Upbit allegedly accepted blurred identification documents, resulting in approximately 500,000 to 600,000 potentially unrecognizable KYC records.
