South Korean Regulators Launch Investigation into Upbit and Bithumb Order Book Cross-Border Data Sharing Concerns
SEOUL (April 30) — South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission is probing the country’s two largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, to determine whether their sharing of order book data with overseas partners constitutes a cross-border transfer of personal information.
The investigation has wrapped up written inquiries and on-site inspections, and is now in the final evaluation stage. Results are expected in the second half of 2026, with potential administrative penalties on the table.
Upbit primarily shares stablecoin market order book data with its Southeast Asian affiliate, while Bithumb previously engaged in similar data sharing with Australian exchange Stella. The practice is aimed at boosting trading liquidity and activity.
However, if the shared data includes identifiable personal information, it could violate South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act— which mandates user consent for cross-border data transfers.
