Upbit

Upbit, founded in 2017 by Dunamu Inc., is a leading cryptocurrency exchange headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. Leveraging a partnership with the U.S.-based exchange Bittrex, Upbit quickly rose to prominence, becoming the top global cryptocurrency exchange by 24-hour trading volume within two months of its launch. The platform offers a wide array of digital assets, listing over 180 cryptocurrencies and providing more than 300 trading pairs, catering to a diverse user base. Upbit’s commitment to security is evident through its acquisition of certifications such as ISMS-P and ISO/IEC, and the implementation of an industry-leading, round-the-clock Artificial Intelligence FDS system for monitoring suspicious transactions. The exchange has also expanded its services beyond South Korea, establishing operations in Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand, thereby solidifying its position as a major player in the Southeast Asian cryptocurrency market. Despite facing challenges, including a $30 million theft in November 2025 involving unauthorized transfers of Solana network assets, Upbit continues to prioritize safety, transparency, and reliability for its users.
