PANews reported on October 17 that according to Newsis, Lee Bok-hyun, director of the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea, said in an audit of the Political Committee of the National Assembly on the 17th: "We will investigate the problem of AVAIL coins traded on Bithumb." After Avail was launched at 263 won on July 23, it soared to 3,500 won within 15 minutes, but fell to 296 won less than a day later, raising suspicions of price manipulation.

In this regard, Min Byoung-dug, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said: "This AVAIL token incident means that Bithumb's own abnormal transaction system did not work at all. When I asked Bithumb what they were doing, they said that only transactions accounting for more than 5% of the total issuance would be considered abnormal transactions." Director Lee Bok-hyun emphasized: "We are continuing to create and upgrade the abnormal transaction detection system and are handling various investigation cases as well as related cases, so we will work hard to build market trust."
