Upbit, the dominant crypto exchange in South Korea, is adding Metaplex (MPLX) and Nexus (NEX) to its trading platform.
The listing announcement, posted on Upbit’s official site, didn’t specify exact trading pairs or a confirmed start date.
Why Upbit matters more than most exchanges
Upbit, operated by Dunamu, isn’t just another exchange. It’s the gateway to South Korea’s famously active retail trading base, a market that has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to move prices with sheer volume.
Korean traders have a reputation for piling into newly listed altcoins with enthusiasm that borders on competitive sport. The so-called “Kimchi premium,” where Korean exchange prices diverge from global averages, is a recurring phenomenon that speaks to the intensity of local demand.
