Hello. I find that I cannot register on any cryptocurrency exchange site. I am located in Korea. All Korean exchanges are currently halted indefinitely until the government can figure out how to regulate cryptocurrency somehow. I tried registering for the American exchange Coinbase using a VPN but that isn't working either. Can anyone give me any ideas of what I can do to register on an exchange?
I am not aware of any ban in the Korean market ,there are certain things they are planning to implement pretty soon in order to trade in the Korean market.
- From January 30 2018,you need to use your real name while trading,meaning no more anonymous trading allowed in Korea
- You have to be a Korean citizen to trade in their exchanges,which mean others citizens are not allowed to trade and have to withdraw their currencies before too late,which also means no more VPN
- No minors allowed.
- KYC will be mandatory
You can try other exchanges but there are strict KYC rules in all of the exchanges and funding those exchanges with fiat will be a hurdle.
