Starting January 28, South Korea's Google Play is tightening its grip on crypto exchanges. Here's what's changing: any overseas crypto platform looking to stay listed or push app updates will need to complete FIU VASP registration—and that's just the first step. Simply filing won't cut it anymore. Google has made it crystal clear: platforms must provide concrete proof of FIU approval to maintain their presence on the platform. For exchanges operating in or serving the South Korean market, this marks a significant shift toward stricter compliance verification. No approval document, no listing update. The message is direct: regulatory acceptance is now a hard requirement, not a soft suggestion.
