Google will tighten regulation of crypto apps in South Korea starting January 28, 2026, requiring crypto exchanges and wallets on Google Play to prove registration with the FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit).
Major global exchanges such as Binance, OKX, and Bybit risk removal from the app store if they fail to complete local registration and meet South Korea’s security standards. Existing users may face app update disruptions or be unable to re-download apps after the deadline.
The move aims to protect investors and align with South Korea’s strict financial regulations. Users may still access services via web browsers, but convenience and security could be reduced.
