Crypto Exchanges Boost Altcoin Accessibility With New Listings

Today, four major cryptocurrency exchanges announced new token listings, signaling stronger market access and liquidity for traders. South Korea’s leading platforms, Upbit and Bithumb, revealed four listings, while global exchanges OKX and Bybit expanded their markets with two more altcoins.

Upbit confirmed it will list Euler (EUL) and Plume (PLUME), tradable against Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT). Both assets will support deposits and withdrawals via Ethereum (ETH), with trading starting at 15:00 KST on September 17. The exchange will also list Toshi (TOSHI) on KRW and USDT pairs. To manage volatility, Upbit will enforce restrictions, including a five-minute buy ban and limit-order trading for two hours.

Bithumb followed with a dual TOSHI listing on its KRW market, setting a base price of 0.8320 KRW. Additionally, the platform announced Holoworld AI (HOLO), with trading beginning September 17 at 16:00 KST, starting at 539 KRW.

The announcements triggered immediate market reactions. EUL rose 8.25% to $10.5 before correcting to $9.9, while PLUME gained 8.33% to $0.13, later trading at $0.124. TOSHI saw the largest surge, jumping 40% after Upbit’s move and stabilizing at $0.00074—a 23.5% gain. HOLO climbed 5.26% from $0.38 to $0.40 before settling at $0.39.

Beyond South Korea, OKX listed Ethena (ENA) for spot trading against USDT, launching at 07:00 UTC. Bybit also confirmed Lombard (BARD), opening deposits at 10:00 UTC, with trading set for September 18 at 11:00 UTC.

These listings highlight intensifying competition among exchanges and the push to broaden altcoin access, giving investors more options to diversify portfolios in a volatile crypto market.
