This policy enhances the transparency of Korbit’s evaluation process, ensuring that the exchange assesses projects impartially, without third-party influence or external pressures.After listing an asset, Korbit conducts quarterly risk assessments on all crypto assets traded on the platform. Additionally, it plans to adopt a stricter approach to internal controls to enhance customer protection, in line with the upcoming enactment of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act.
