Upbit Leads With Multiple Listings
In an official statement, Upbit—South Korea’s largest crypto exchange—confirmed the listing of Euler (EUL) and Plume (PLUME) with trading pairs against Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT). Deposits and withdrawals on the Ethereum (ETH) network will be available within two hours, while trading will go live at 3:00 PM KST on September 17.
Additionally, Upbit will add Toshi (TOSHI) with KRW and USDT pairs. To manage volatility, temporary restrictions will apply: a five-minute ban on buy orders at launch and a two-hour limit-order-only period.
Bithumb Joins the Race
Bithumb quickly followed, listing TOSHI on its KRW market with a reference price of 0.8320 KRW. The exchange also announced the addition of Holoworld AI (HOLO), with trading scheduled to open at 4:00 PM KST on September 17 at a base price of 539 KRW.
