Security flaws across major x402 payment facilitators could expose facilitator-held assets and leave merchants without receiving payment for services provided, according to new research presented at the 35th USENIX Security Symposium. Researchers tested 15 major x402 facilitators, including Coinbase, Thirdweb, PayAI and Mogami, and found that every platform violated at least one security rule.

South Korea’s tightening restrictions are making it harder for local crypto users to move between domestic and offshore markets. The shift began with Bybit, MEXC, and HTX losing access to the local Google Play Store, limiting direct mobile distribution. Restrictions on transferring funds have further extended these barriers.

Therefore, users could face more checks before capital can leave domestic platforms, potentially slowing offshore liquidity flows. Source: X That aside, transfers worth more than 10 million won,…
