TREE NEWS update: South Korean crypto exchange Upbit delayed the resumption of its KRW, BTC and USDT markets to 07:00 KST on Nov. 9 (06:00 Beijing time) after finding instability during the restart process. The exchange had begun roughly five-hour server maintenance at 02:00 KST and previously said maintenance was completed early, with trading to resume in batches from 06:00 KST. Deposits and withdrawals will resume gradually once trading is restored and backlogged orders are cleared.
Upbit Delays Trading Restart to 07:00 KST Over Instability
A delayed restart at South Korea's largest exchange is a reminder that operational resilience, not just listing news, remains a live risk for KRW-market liquidity. The one-hour slip is modest, but Upbit's outsized share of domestic volume means any instability at restart can ripple across the won-denominated pairs that many regional traders rely on. The open question is whether the phased resumption and deposit/withdrawal backlog clear smoothly, or whether further delays extend the window of thin, unreliable pricing.
