Users should verify those addresses and the selected blockchain before transferring funds. Deposits sent through the wrong network may require a lengthy recovery process or may not be recoverable. Upbit can also request evidence explaining the source of large deposits. Transfers from exchanges that do not meet its Travel Rule requirements may not appear in customer accounts until additional checks are completed. The exchange has expanded its non won markets through several recent listing rounds. As crypto.news previously reported, Upbit added nine tokens across its BTC and USDT markets in June. Initial orders will carry temporary restrictions Upbit will restrict buy orders for approximately five minutes after trading begins. It will also block sell orders priced more than 10% below the reference closing price during that period. Only limit orders will be accepted for roughly two hours after the markets open. Other order types and execution conditions will become available after Upbit removes the restriction. These controls are intended to manage the limited liquidity and rapid price movements that can occur when a market first opens.
