Crypto Exchange Korbit Raises Daily KRW Deposit Limits From 300K to 5MKorbit, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea, raised the daily deposit limit for its customers as of 16:00 KST on September 25. This move aligns with the early implementation of the operation guidelines of real-name bank accounts for cryptocurrencies, which is scheduled to be introduced in January next year.

Financial authorities, the Korea Federation of Banks, and cryptocurrency exchanges have collaborated to initiate these measures at every local exchange starting next January. Meanwhile, exchanges are obliged to maintain reserves in their banks beginning this month, ensuring they are poised to provide compensation for involuntary losses in the event of hacking incidents or system failures.Investor inconvenience and market confusionSince the introduction of the real-name bank account system in 2018, banks and crypto exchanges have had different terms of use and user protection measures, leading to varied deposit and withdrawal limits as well as reserve levels across different exchanges. These inconsistencies have resulted in inconvenience to customers and have sown confusion in the market. In response, the entities in question have agreed to implement a shared set of guidelines for real-name bank accounts from January next year.Daily limit of KRW 300K to KRW 5MWith the implementation of these guidelines, Korbit has elevated the current daily deposit limits from KRW 300,000 (approximately $222) and KRW 1.5 million to KRW 5 million. Moreover, once the bank authenticates the user’s transaction purpose — for instance, purchases of KRW 5 million or more in virtual assets in a month following the initial KRW deposit — and verifies the source of the funds, the constrained account can transition to a standard account. This adjustment allows the daily deposit and withdrawal limit of up to KRW 500 million.The limitations associated with constrained and standard accounts apply solely to fund transfers between the crypto exchange and the bank. When holders of Shinhan accounts initiate fund transfers to accounts in other banks, the limitations imposed by Shinhan continue to apply.Oh Sejin, CEO of Korbit, expressed enthusiasm that the higher deposit limit enabled by the new guidelines would improve investor convenience and draw in new customers. He added that the crypto exchange is committed to collaboration with Shinhan Bank, aiming to enhance user protection and anti-money laundering (AML) measures.

Parachain Fork Sees Transition to Enjin BlockchainEnjin, a Singapore-headquartered non-fungible token (NFT) platform, has announced its transition to a new mainnet named Enjin Blockchain, with the goal of further advancing Web3 adoption. As part of this transition, Enjin has forked its Polkadot parachain, Efinity, to the new blockchain.The project made the announcement via a blog post published to its website on Thursday.Photo by Shubham Dhage on UnsplashIntegrated functionalityAccording to the team at Enjin, the Enjin Blockchain distinguishes itself from other blockchain solutions by integrating functions such as NFT creation and transfer directly into the foundational code of the blockchain, eliminating the reliance on smart contracts. This integration aims to streamline and simplify the process of creating and transferring NFTs.In addition to this fundamental change, the Enjin Blockchain introduces several new features. One notable feature is “Fuel Tanks,” which enables developers to subsidize user transaction fees, making it more cost-effective for users to interact with the blockchain. Another feature is “Discrete Accounts,” which allows users to engage with blockchain-based projects without the need to download specific wallet software.Fork to Efinity MatrixchainAlongside the transition to the Enjin Blockchain, the team has also forked Efinity, the Polkadot parachain, to the new mainnet. This rebranded version will be known as the Efinity Matrixchain and will facilitate a smooth transition for existing users.Witek Radomski, the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Enjin, emphasized that the launch of the Enjin Blockchain aims to support creativity by making the creation and distribution of NFTs more accessible and affordable. Radomski stated: “Enjin Blockchain makes the creation and mass distribution of NFTs affordable and accessible to everyone. Our aim is nothing short of revolutionizing gaming, ownership, and online identity.”Enjin’s chief financial officer, Oscar Franklin Tan, expressed his belief that NFTs and digital ownership will be pivotal in the future of gaming, particularly with advancements in artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Tan emphasized Enjin’s commitment to supporting this next wave of gaming and the resulting “explosion of content.”Enjin believes that it sets itself apart from the competition due to the fact that it’s built on top of the open-source Substrate framework, a mechanism that facilitates the development of customized blockchains that may be run on an entirely autonomous basis.Using this unique approach, Enjin Blockchain doesn’t depend upon the use of smart contracts. Instead, critical functions such as creating, using, and transferring NFTs are integrated directly into the core, foundational blockchain code.NFT lending stabilityIn related news, the stability of NFT lending has been aided by the use of blue-chip collateral. Paraspace, an NFT protocol, recently reported that despite facilitating NFT loans totaling over $280 million, it experienced no bad debt and only 16 NFT liquidations. This success can be attributed to the protocol’s requirement that only blue-chip NFTs can be used as collateral, ensuring the value and stability of the assets involved.As Enjin embraces its new mainnet and the Efinity Matrixchain, the platform positions itself as a key player in the evolving NFT and blockchain landscape. With a focus on accessibility, affordability, and the support of creative endeavors, Enjin aims to drive innovation in gaming, ownership, and online identity.
