South Korean Regulator Probes Bithumb After Erroneous 620,000 BTC Transfer

The global cryptocurrency community was recently shaken when the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) of South Korea initiated a comprehensive review of the major crypto exchange Bithumb. This action follows a significant incident where more than 620,000 bitcoins were erroneously credited to users — a figure that dramatically surpasses Bithumb’s actual reserves by 13-14 times. According to local media reports, this mistake has catalyzed regulatory scrutiny.

Investigation Details and Focus Areas

The FSS began its thorough inspection on February 10, after providing prior notice to Bithumb. This step-up from an initial field check conducted on February 7 underlines the severity of the issue. The investigation is particularly focused on breaches concerning the principle of “actual ownership of assets.” By law, exchanges must maintain reserves equivalent to client-held virtual assets.
Furthermore, regulators are examining whether transactions could be approved solely by one employee and assessing the efficacy of monitoring systems in verifying asset balances against records.

Impact and Regulatory Discussions

As of Q3 2023, Bithumb held about 42,000 BTC; however, only 175 BTC belonged to the company itself—the remainder was user-owned. Following this mishap, balances swelled to roughly 46,000 BTC despite an erroneous addition exceeding 620,000 BTC.
This incident has fueled legislative discourse around advancing cryptocurrency regulation in South Korea. Lee Chang-Jin from FSS indicated that findings from this inspection might lead to more stringent exchange requirements. Additionally, discussions have surfaced regarding limiting major shareholders’ stakes in crypto exchanges to between 15% and 20%.

Incident Overview

On February 6, 2026, Bithumb reported an accidental distribution of over $40 billion worth of bitcoin during a promotional event that was supposed to reward users with cash equivalents instead. Instead of receiving a bonus equivalent to approximately $1.40 (2,000 Korean won), winners were mistakenly awarded at least 2,000 BTC each.
Upon detecting this error, Bithumb halted trading and withdrawals for affected accounts for about half an hour—successfully reclaiming nearly all distributed assets (99.7%). However, this resulted in Bitcoin prices dropping by over 10% compared with other platforms.

Bithumb’s Response Measures

In response to these events [Bithumb announced](https://feed.bithumb.com/notice/1651925/) collaborative efforts with regulators while implementing several corrective actions:
– Upgrading asset verification processes during payouts.
– Introducing dual-level approvals for asset operations.
– Integrating AI systems for constant suspicious transaction detection.
– Conducting external audits through international cybersecurity firms.
Affected users who sold their assets amid price drops will receive full compensation plus an additional ten percent as reparations; meanwhile all clients active during this period will be granted compensatory credits amounting up-to twenty thousand won within one week’s time frame.
Additionally,Bithumb announced temporary trading fee waivers lasting seven days alongside establishing perpetual “customer protection fund” valued at approximately hundred billion won aimed towards
