Korbit Confirms Full FLOW Services in Korea
Ecosystem Update
Korbit, one of Korea's longest-operating exchanges, independently confirmed this week that all remediation related to the December security incident has been completed. Korbit removed FLOW from its trading caution designation, now offering full FLOW trading, deposits, and withdrawals.
Alongside Korbit, the following major exchanges have independently completed compliance reviews and fully restored FLOW trading, deposits, and withdrawals:
Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Gate, HTX, Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, Bitget, MEXC, and BitMart.
FLOW is also available on decentralized exchanges including swap.flow.com, KittyPunch, IncrementFi, and Uniswap V3 (FlowSwap.io).
Remaining Korean Exchanges
On February 12, 2026, Upbit, Bithumb, and Coinone announced the termination of FLOW trading support effective March 16, 2026, with withdrawal support ending April 16, 2026. The exchanges cited their internal trading caution policies, stating that the explanatory materials were insufficient to resolve the trading caution designation stemming from the December security incident.
All other exchange partners have re-enabled FLOW trading on their platforms. Korbit stated that the technical measures for the security incident have been completed, and the reasons for the trading caution designation have been resolved. They cited multiple pieces of explanatory materials that supported their conclusion. These are all publicly available:
The detailed, complete technical post-mortem report
The onchain destruction of counterfeit FLOW
Notice of a buyback and burn of 50M FLOW
The position of the Foundation is that the termination of FLOW trading on these three platforms (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone) would not serve the best interests of Korean users, and the Foundation has communicated this directly to these exchanges.
Next Steps
The priority of Flow Foundation is ensuring that the Korean community maintains healthy, reliable access to FLOW. This takes multiple forms:
Supporting Korbit as a continued Korean trading venue
Actively pursuing additional exchange partnerships in the region
Continued commitment to the FLOW token through various initiatives
Expanding self-custody access options & ensuring support for users
Using every available legal, regulatory, and commercial channel to advocate for the Korean community.
The Foundation is also hiring a General Manager for the Asia-Pacific region to lead Flow presence across Korea, China, Japan, and the broader Asia-Pacific market. Growth in this region and support for this community is a priority for Flow in 2026.
While the Foundation is actively pursuing all available channels to resolve this situation, Korean users holding FLOW on the affected exchanges should be aware of the announced timelines and consider their options. FLOW can be withdrawn to Korbit or to a self-custodial wallet to ensure no interruptions to your access and trading.
