South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges, specifically Upbit and Bithumb, have expanded their digital asset offerings through new token listings and trading pairs.

In early August, Upbit listed the CAP token across Korean won, Bitcoin, and Tether markets, while Bithumb added the UB token. These listings included specific trading restrictions and network requirements for deposits and withdrawals.

By late August, Upbit further expanded its platform by adding eight new trading pairs for four altcoins: Biconomy (BICO), Bubblemaps (BMT), Nillion (NIL), and ETHGas (GWEI). These tokens were paired against Bitcoin and Tether to increase liquidity and accessibility for international traders.
