Crypto Exchanges Go Wild: 6 Altcoins, 100% Volatility, 0 Clarity!

by

Today, four major crypto exchanges will expand their offerings, which is like a toddler getting a new toy but with more confusion and less sleep. 🤯

Leading South Korean platforms Upbit and Bithumb revealed four crypto token listings, driving price volatility. Meanwhile, OKX and Bybit will also add trading support for two altcoins. Because nothing says “we care” like a 40% price surge followed by a 23.5% crash. 📉💥

Altcoins Spread Their Wings as Exchanges Play Musical Chairs with Your Savings. 🐦💸

In a move as clear as a foggy day in London, Upbit announced the listing of Euler (EUL) and Plume (PLUME), now tradable against BTC and USDT. Because who doesn’t want to trade with a name like “Plume”? 🦢

The exchange noted that deposits and withdrawals will be available on the Ethereum (ETH) network within two hours of the notice. Because nothing says “we’re organized” like a two-hour wait for your money to be… somewhere. 🕒

Separately, Upbit highlighted that it will list Toshi (TOSHI) on Korean Won (KRW) and USDT markets. Similar to the other two assets, trading will start at 15:00 KST. These listings include temporary restrictions, such as a five-minute ban on buys post-launch and limit-order exclusivity for two hours, to manage volatility. Because nothing says “we’re in control” like locking you out for 5 minutes. ⏳

“Please make sure to check the network before depositing digital assets. Deposits and withdrawals through networks other than the one announced will not be supported,” Upbit added. Because nothing says “customer service” like a cryptic warning in a sea of confusion. 🧨

Bithumb also followed suit, adding TOSHI to its KRW market on the Base network. The exchange has set the base price at 0.8320 KRW. Trading will again begin on a timeline similar to Upbit. Because why not? 🤷‍♂️

Moreover, the exchange notified users that it will list Holoworld AI (HOLO). Trading is scheduled to open on September 17 at 4:00 PM (KST), with a standard price of 539 KRW. Because nothing says “innovation” like a token named “Holoworld AI.” 🤖

Following the announcements, the token prices saw modest price pumps, in line with the patterns observed in previous listings. EUL rose 8.25% from $9.7 to $10.5. After shedding some gains, the token traded at $9.9-a 3.6% gain at press time. Because nothing says “stability” like a token that’s always on the verge of a meltdown. 📈📉

PLUME’s price increased 8.33% from $0.120 to $0.130 post-announcement. At the time of writing, it stood at $0.124 with a 3.3% uptick. Because if you can’t trust a token named “Plume,” what can you trust? 🌫️

In addition, Toshi, which saw dual listings on Upbit and Bithumb, surged by double digits. The altcoin surged 40% from Upbit’s move and saw more modest gains after Bithumb’s announcement. As of the latest data, its trading price stood at $0.00074. This represented a 23.5% gain. Because nothing says “value” like a token that’s 0.00074. 💸

Lastly, Bithumb’s addition lifted Holo 5.26% from $0.38 to $0.40. At press time, it traded at $0.39, with a 3.31% increase. Because if you’re going to lose money, at least do it with a 3.31% smile. 😊

Besides this, OKX announced the spot listing of Ethena (ENA) against USDT. The exchange stated that trading will begin at 7:00 AM (UTC) today. Additionally, Bybit confirmed the spot addition of Lombard (BARD). Deposits will now open at 10:00 AM UTC, and trading is slated for September 18 at 11:00 UTC. Because nothing says “we’re reliable” like a 11:00 UTC launch. ⏰

The flurry of listings across Upbit, Bithumb, OKX, and Bybit underlines the growing competition among exchanges. It also emphasizes the exchanges’ ongoing efforts to broaden access to a wider range of altcoins, making it easier for investors to diversify their portfolios. Or, as the Hitchhiker’s Guide would say, “Don’t panic-just lose all your money in a 5-minute buy ban.” 🚀
