OKX’s Android app is back on the Google Play Store in South Korea after a four-day removal, allowing users to download the app again and install updates. Bybit, which faced restrictions during the same period, is still unavailable and has remained inaccessible since July 10. The change follows earlier action by South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit, or FIU, against 29 unregistered virtual asset service provider, or VASP, apps. Of those, 14 have already been referred to law enforcement, while another 15, including OKX and Bybit, have not yet entered judicial proceedings. For now, OKX is the first exchange among the recently affected platforms to regain access to the country’s Google Play marketplace, according to a Techub news brief citing crypto.news.
