Upbit announces support for EURC trading in KRW, BTC and USDT markets

South Korea's largest crypto exchange Upbit launched the euro stablecoin EURC, supporting trading in three major markets: KRW, BTC, and USDT.

South Korea's largest crypto exchange Upbit (also an important reference platform for Southeast Asian traders) announced that it will launch the euro stablecoin (EURC) in its Korean Won (KRW), Bitcoin (BTC) and TEDA (USDT) markets, adding this asset to the platform's three independent order books.

Upbit added new EURC trading pairs in KRW, BTC, and USDT markets.

This launch will simultaneously introduce EURC into three pricing markets: the Korean won market, the Bitcoin market and the TEDA market. Each market provides traders with different entry and exit methods. Upbit released detailed information on the launch of the new coin and transaction support through an official service center announcement, clarifying which trading pairs will be launched and when. This addition also expands the list of assets supported by the platform to include euro-denominated stablecoins.

Multi-market launch is a common practice for Upbit. The exchange has also recently launched Conflux (CFX) in the same KRW, BTC, and USDT markets, which is consistent with the current EURC launch structure.

What the launch of EURC means to Upbit users

Upbit has launched EURC on both the fiat market (KRW) and two crypto pricing markets (BTC and USDT), providing users with multiple trading paths. Traders can directly pair EURC with U.S. dollar stablecoins in South Korean won, Bitcoin or TEDA. Supporting multiple market types is critical because it allows users to directly trade EURC using the underlying assets they hold. Users holding BTC or USDT do not need to first convert to Korean won, while local users can directly obtain euro stablecoins through the Korean won order book.

USDT trading pairs are particularly noteworthy because TEDA occupies a core position in regional trading flows. Upbit has gradually expanded its USDT market, including launching NEXO USDT trading pairs and simultaneously launching Gravity Token (GRVT) into the KRW, BTC, and USDT markets.

Key details and concerns after the announcement

The information currently confirmed is the launch scope: EURC receives trading support in the KRW, BTC, and USDT markets. Specific operating details, such as the precise recharge time, withdrawal opening time and opening time of each trading pair, have not been detailed in the existing information and must be subject to the subsequent official announcement issued by Upbit.

Summary of Points:
Content: Upbit has added EURC trading support in three markets.
Market: Supported trading pairs are KRW, BTC, and USDT.
Attention: Details of recharge, withdrawal and opening time need to be confirmed through the Upbit Announcement Center.

For the broader ASEAN market, Upbit's move is noteworthy, signaling increased exchange interest in euro-pegged stablecoins-previously dominated by regional trading volume by dollar-linked assets. Regional platforms such as Indodax, Tokocrypto, and Coins.ph have historically tracked the launch patterns of large exchanges, so the wider availability of EURC may affect the speed at which euro options enter Southeast Asia's order books.
