OKX’s Android app has returned to South Korea’s Google Play Store after about four days, while Bybit remains blocked and earlier reviews found restrictions affecting at least 29 overseas exchange apps.
OKX’s Android app has returned to South Korea’s Google Play Store after about four days, allowing users to download the app and update existing versions again after it disappeared from the platform on July 24. Bybit’s app, which became unavailable on July 10, remained blocked at the time of publication. The change makes OKX the first of the recently restricted overseas exchanges to regain access on the Korean Play Store. Earlier reporting by Digital Asset found that at least 29 overseas cryptocurrency derivatives exchange apps had been restricted under Google Play policies tied to unregistered virtual asset service providers, with some exchanges already flagged by South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit and others affected despite not appearing on the FIU’s published enforcement list.
