Upbit Lists Four New Altcoins Amidst Trading Delays

The South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit has announced that it will list four new altcoins on August 21, along with their respective trading pairs. The assets are Biconomy (BICO), Bubblemaps (BMT), Nillion (NIL), and ETHGas ($GWEI). Each of these tokens will have one Bitcoin (BTC) pair and one Tether (USDT) pair available for trading.

Upbit had initially scheduled the listing to begin at 13:00 Korea Standard Time, but it has since been postponed to 16:00 KST due to unspecified reasons. The exchange apologized for the inconvenience and assured users that deposits and withdrawals will continue as usual.

The four projects have unique use cases: Biconomy provides infrastructure for simplifying blockchain transactions, Bubblemaps visualizes token distribution and incentives community research, Nillion develops privacy-focused computing services, and ETHGas creates a market for Ethereum blockspace and transaction preconfirmations.
