South Korea’s Largest Crypto Exchange Upbit Halts Services After $37 Million Solana Token Breach

2025/11/27 15:40

TLDR

  • Upbit, South Korea’s largest crypto exchange, suspended deposits and withdrawals after detecting unauthorized transactions on November 27, 2025
  • Approximately $37 million worth of Solana network tokens were transferred to unauthorized wallets through a compromised hot wallet
  • Affected tokens include BONK, JTO, USDC, ACS, DRIFT, and other Solana-based assets
  • Upbit will fully reimburse all customers using the exchange’s own assets to cover losses
  • The exchange moved remaining funds to cold storage and froze about $8 million worth of Solayer tokens with law enforcement help

Upbit suspended all digital asset deposits and withdrawals on Thursday morning after detecting irregular activity on its Solana network wallets. The South Korean exchange identified unauthorized transfers totaling approximately 54 billion won, or $37 million.

The breach occurred around 4:42 AM local time on November 27, 2025. Exchange operators detected the irregular withdrawals from a compromised hot wallet address early in the incident.

Dunamu CEO Oh Kyung-seok confirmed the security breach in a public notice. He apologized to users for the service disruption and assured customers that the exchange would handle all losses.

The affected tokens span multiple categories on the Solana network. Meme coins including BONK, MOODENG, and Official Trump were among the compromised assets. Decentralized finance tokens such as Sonic SVM, Access Protocol, JTO, SOL, and Raydium were also transferred.

Other affected assets include DoubleZero, DOOD, Drift, HUMA, Ionet, JUP, LAYER, ME, Pudgy Penguin, and Circle’s USDC stablecoin. The unauthorized transfers moved these tokens to external wallet addresses not designated by Upbit’s internal systems.

Exchange Response and Asset Recovery

Upbit took immediate action after detecting the breach. The exchange transferred all remaining digital assets to cold storage to prevent further unauthorized transactions. Cold storage keeps cryptocurrency offline and away from potential network vulnerabilities.

The exchange worked with law enforcement to initiate on-chain freezing measures. These efforts successfully froze approximately 12 billion won, or $8 million, worth of Solayer tokens related to the incident. Upbit is coordinating with other token projects to attempt additional asset freezes.

Upbit launched a complete security audit of all digital asset transfer systems. The exchange stated it will gradually resume withdrawal services only after confirming system security. Deposit and withdrawal functions remain suspended while the investigation continues.

The exchange emphasized that customers will not bear any financial burden from the breach. Upbit committed to fully reimbursing all affected users using the company’s own assets. This compensation policy aims to protect user funds completely.

The timing of this security incident comes as Upbit’s parent company Dunamu navigates a major corporate change. Naver Financial agreed to absorb Dunamu in a $10.29 billion all-stock deal announced November 26, 2025. The transaction requires regulatory approval and would issue 2.54 new Naver shares for each Dunamu share.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
