> Blockchain media platform PUBLISH has announced that its proprietary token “NEWS” will be listed on Hanbitco exchange.

Blockchain media platform [PUBLISH](<https://publishprotocol.io/>) has [announced](<https://medium.com/publishprotocol/win-up-to-100-000-news-tokens-and-a-trip-to-bangkok-in-trading-contest-to-mark-july-10-listing-dc1272c599f9>) that its proprietary token “NEWS” will be listed on [Hanbitco](<https://www.hanbitco.com/>) exchange.

The trading will commence at 16:00 KST (Korean Standard Time) on Wednesday, July 10. This follows the listing of the token [on Hoo exchange](<https://tokenpost.com/Blockchain-media-platform-PUBLISH-to-list-NEWS-token-on-Hoo-exchange-2442>) on July 02.

Hanbitco will be the first Korean exchange to list NEWS tokens. It is one of seven Korean cryptocurrency exchanges to have passed a recent security audit by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).

Founded in 2018, PUBLISH aims to create a blockchain-based media platform that fairly rewards all of its participants and serves as a realistic and economically viable model for publishers to adopt and build on.

To realize this goal, the company has launched PUBLISHprotocol, a blockchain-powered open-source protocol that aims to facilitate a participatory mode of news production and consumption, and [PUBLISHsoft](<https://tokenpost.com/Blockchain-media-firm-PUBLISH-launches-end-to-end-publishing-software-PUBLISHsoft-924>), a blockchain-based content management system and end-to-end publishing system enabling publishers to issue their own PUBLISHprotocol-based cryptographic token.

NEWS is PUBLISH’s proprietary token that will be used for every transaction within its news ecosystem.

Recently, PUBLISH announced [“Benchmark Token Sale” (BTS) mechanism](<https://tokenpost.com/PUBLISH-innovates-the-way-tokens-are-sold-introduces-Benchmark-Token-Sale-BTS-mechanism-2477>) in a bid to disincentivize any unhealthy speculation and “pump-and-dump” schemes. The company has also launched its decentralized hot wallet, called “PUBLISHwallet,” for Android devices.

As a promotional offer, PUBLISH has announced a token giveaway of 800,000 NEWS tokens to the top 48 traders with the highest trading volume under the NEWS/BTC trading pair. The trading contest will run from 10 July 2019 to 21 July 2019.

The top trader will win a trip to Bangkok for three nights for two. This includes two return tickets (from select Korean airports) and three nights at a four-star hotel.
