Bithumb temporarily halts resident identity verification services due to regulatory compliance checks.
Regulation & Gov ·
Bithumb has temporarily suspended its resident identity verification service due to compliance checks. The halt stems from scheduled maintenance on a government system used for identity authentication purposes.
The exchange relies on this verification service as part of its user onboarding and compliance infrastructure. The suspension affects users attempting to complete identity verification during the maintenance window, which is tied to government-side system checks rather than a Bithumb-specific outage.
The duration of the service interruption and whether it signals broader regulatory scrutiny remain unclear from the available information.
