On October 17th, the Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea, Lee Ju-yeol, stated during a parliamentary audit that "we are investigating the issue of AVAIL coins traded on Bithumb."

Bithumb said that only trades that account for more than 5% of the total issuance would be considered abnormal trades."
