Flow faces Upbit review after DAXA risk warning

Confusion over FLOW’s status on Upbit has escalated after headlines suggested a full delisting. As reported by ChainCatcher (https://www.chaincatcher.com/en/article/2233030?utm_source=openai), the exchange suspended FLOW deposits and withdrawals on December 27, 2025, following a security incident, and the Digital Asset eXchange Association issued a trading risk warning.

Upbit status: Not fully delisted; suspension and warning status

There is no official confirmation that Upbit has permanently terminated trading support for FLOW. The available record points to a suspension and an active warning status pending review.

In practice, a suspension locks deposits and withdrawals while reviews occur, and a warning flags elevated risk rather than final delisting. Termination of trading support remains a possible, not predetermined, outcome under ongoing evaluation.

Why this matters: trading, deposit, and withdrawal implications

For traders, order execution could remain available until a formal halt is announced, but liquidity and pricing may be unstable under a warning. For holders, suspended deposits and withdrawals mean you cannot move FLOW into or out of the venue during the review window.

“The duration of restrictions often hinges on investigation milestones; pending the outcome of the investigation,” said Upbit in a client notice. The timing was not specified.

At the time of this writing, FLOW trades near $0.04284 with reported volatility of 27.06% and RSI‑14 around 42.04. These figures are contextual only and do not imply any investment view.

What DAXA warning and Flow exploit mean now

DAXA trading risk warning: what actions it can trigger

According to the Digital Asset eXchange Association (DAXA), a trading risk warning can lead to outcomes ranging from continued monitoring to suspension or termination of trading support, depending on remediation progress. Such actions are contingent on technical and governance remediation.

These measures sit within South Korea’s Virtual Asset User Protection Act, effective since mid‑2024, which heightens exchange obligations to monitor and act on asset risks, as reported by MEXC (https://www.mexc.co/en-IN/news/365647?utm_source=openai). The framework emphasizes investor protection and operational risk controls.

Flow exploit recap and remediation steps to date

According to the Flow Foundation’s technical post‑mortem (https://flow.com/post/dec-27-technical-post-mortem?utm_source=openai), a type‑confusion vulnerability enabled creation of roughly US$3.9 million in counterfeit FLOW. The network was temporarily halted, patched, and rogue tokens were frozen or destroyed.

The post‑mortem adds that a full blockchain rollback was considered and rejected in favor of an “Isolation Repair Plan,” and that existing user balances were unaffected. This remediation is central to exchange and association reviews of ongoing risk.
