Upbit, a leading digital asset exchange in South Korea, has announced the listing of WorldLibertyFinancial USD (USD1), a stablecoin. Starting September 1, 2025, trading for the new stablecoin will be available across the Korean Won (KRW), Bitcoin (BTC), and USDT markets.
This move is part of Upbit’s strategy to diversify its offerings and provide traders with more options, particularly those seeking stable, dollar-backed collateral. The introduction of USD1 is expected to expand market accessibility and appeal to a wide range of traders.
The listing notice confirmed that USD1 will be supported on all three markets, reinforcing Upbit’s role in the South Korean crypto trading scene. While the listing provides new opportunities for traders, there have been no official comments on the development from key regulatory bodies or blockchain leaders as of the announcement date.
