South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges Bithumb and Upbit announced two new listings. Bithumb said it would add APRO’s AT token to its Korean won market. Upbit announced three trading pairs for Axis Robotics’ AXIS token.
The announcements on Wednesday, October 21, expand both projects’ access to the South Korean market. Bithumb is adding the AT/KRW pair, while Upbit is supporting AXIS trading against KRW, Bitcoin, and USDT. Both exchanges’ schedules indicate the same trading start time.
The two tokens show different price trends. APRO’s intraday trading range widened, while AXIS attracted attention with its substantial price change on its first trading day. However, differences in starting prices and measurement periods across platforms make comparisons difficult.
Bithumb Announces a Won Trading Pair for AT
According to Bithumb’s official announcement, AT/KRW trading was scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. UTC. The exchange supports transfers through BNB Smart Chain. It also states that it will not accept tokens sent through other networks.
Bithumb said it planned to open deposits and withdrawals within two hours of the announcement. The platform set AT’s reference price at 179 won. However, this figure does not mean investors will execute their trades at that price.
The exchange restricts buy orders during the first five minutes of trading. During the same period, it blocks sell orders priced more than 10% below or 100% above the reference price. For approximately the first two hours, it accepts only limit orders.
APRO develops oracle infrastructure that brings external data to blockchain applications. The project focuses on artificial intelligence, real-world assets, prediction markets, and DeFi applications. The AT token serves functions including service fees and governance.
Upbit Opens Three Markets for AXIS
Upbit announced AXIS/KRW, AXIS/BTC, and AXIS/USDT trading pairs for Axis Robotics. The exchange’s trading schedule lists October 21 at 1:00 p.m. UTC as the start time. Users will therefore be able to trade AXIS against three different quote assets.
Upbit supports AXIS deposits and withdrawals through the Base network. Users transferring tokens therefore need to check their network selection. The exchange’s listing announcement explicitly identifies Base as the supported network.
Axis Robotics develops data infrastructure for robotics and physical AI. The project’s distributed contributor network aims to generate different types of data for training robots. This infrastructure seeks to support the development of general-purpose robotic systems.
AXIS’s trading schedule also includes launches on other exchanges that same day. Bitget and LBank announced October 21 at 1:00 p.m. UTC as their trading start time. This corresponds to 4:00 p.m. in Türkiye, meaning the scheduled listing time has already passed.
