Upbit to Add PUFFER to South Korea’s Won Market at 1 a.m. ET

Upbit will add the PUFFER token to its South Korean won market at 1 a.m. ET Thursday (05:00 UTC), creating a new trading venue for the asset in South Korea.

Trading is set to begin on Oct. 15 at 14:00 KST, which is 2 p.m. local time in South Korea. The market is denominated in the won, the country’s currency, giving PUFFER a local-currency venue through Upbit, a South Korean crypto exchange.

For U.S. readers, the launch is scheduled overnight, early Thursday morning. The time conversion places the start at 1 a.m. ET, 05:00 UTC and 14:00 KST on the same date, Oct. 15.

The listing expands PUFFER’s availability on a South Korean exchange, with access tied to Upbit’s won market. Its central details are the market and start time: the asset will be available for trading on that local-currency venue from the scheduled opening. The addition is a South Korea-focused market-access development for PUFFER.
