The story of cryptocurrency circuit breakers at the Bank of Korea isn't much about a surprising headline, but rather about a central bank using the latest payment report to push South Korea toward exchange assurances after the incorrect Bitcoin distribution revealed by Bethamp raised operational risks and risks related to market safety.



The Bank of Korea published its notice dated April 13, 2026, regarding the attached 2025 Payment and Settlement Report.
The official notice says that the report includes a reference box about the latest “incorrect Bitcoin payment incident at Bethamp Exchange,” and another about “stablecoin price rises and falls.”
One headline in the You Today newspaper described this move as a demand, but Korea JoongAng Daily and Cointelegraph described the policy as a call for lawmakers to consider preventative measures similar to circuit breakers.
