This news could indicate great times ahead for ICON, as South Korea’s cryptocurrency trading is starting to thrive once again. Just recently it was announced that South Korea is going to unban ICOs. South Korea was previously one of the biggest countries in terms of trading volume, which pushes prices upwards. They even traded a variety of cryptocurrencies at a 20-50% premium at one time.

There are also rumors flying around that ICON (ICX) is going to be listed on all other major Korean exchanges, except Coinone. This rumor was announced by Twitter user @CryptoOfKorea
