Coinone and its affiliate bank, Nonghyup, Announce Accounts for New Traders Being Accepted
Coinone announced today that not only is it opening back up deposits for existing members but also it was allowing deposits from new accounts as well. On the 30th Nonghyup announced that as of 9 AM, it had started registering new accounts for depositing fiat into the Coinone Exchange.
This comes after the new changes to the Korean deposit system where real-name accounts are now required in order to make deposits. For the previous 2 weeks, no deposits were allowed while these systems were put into place.
Other exchanges currently are not accepting new users, but Coinone seems to have taken the initiative here in order to be first in helping new users get accounts. Coinone has typically been seen as one of the more conservative exchanges in Korea, listing fewer and more established coins compared to others, but this seems to break with that trend. The news about this has already started popping up on Korean cryptocurrency forums, and it would only seem natural that the rest of the exchanges will soon follow suit.
