South Korea's Digital Asset Exchange Alliance (DAXA) has rolled out a new compliance standard requiring member exchanges to invalidate API keys suspected of improper sharing — a direct response to regulator concerns about automated trading risks in the domestic market. The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) estimates automated trading accounts for roughly 30% of South Korea's total crypto turnover, a share large enough to draw serious regulatory attention.
All five major member exchanges — Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax — are now required to strengthen API monitoring infrastructure, enforce re-authentication following any warning event, and deploy IP whitelisting systems to lock keys to verified endpoints.
