Victory for Crypto: Coinone Crushes Court Challenge, Doubles Bitcoin Withdrawal Limits in South Korea
South Korea's crypto landscape just got a major shakeup—and traditional bankers won't like it.
Coinone, one of the country's top exchanges, just scored a legal knockout punch. A Seoul court dismissed all claims against the platform's controversial decision to double Bitcoin withdrawal limits. No appeals, no compromises—just a clean win for crypto autonomy.
Behind the gavel: The ruling effectively torpedoes arguments that exchanges shouldn't self-regulate withdrawal policies. Critics (read: legacy finance lobbyists) had screamed about 'consumer risks,' but judges saw through the theatrics.
The fallout? A green light for Korean traders to move serious BTC volume without jumping through banking hoops. Meanwhile, traditional securities firms are stuck explaining why their settlement systems still take three business days.
One cynical takeaway: When courts move faster than VISA networks, you know which industry's winning the future.
