Bitcoin Exchange Upbit Announces Listing of This Altcoin on its Spot Trading Platform! Here Are the Details

Upbit, one of South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced it will list a new digital asset on the Korean won (KRW) market. According to the announcement, Ether.fi ($ETHFI) will be available for trading on the platform with the KRW trading pair starting March 19, 2026, at 12:30 PM.

The exchange emphasized that $ETHFI deposits and withdrawals will only be supported via the Ethereum network. Transfers from other networks will not be accepted, and users are advised to carefully check network information before making a transaction.

Upbit also announced that standard trading restrictions will apply to newly listed assets. Accordingly, buy orders will be limited for the first 5 minutes after trading begins. During the same period, sell orders below 10% of the previous day’s closing price will not be allowed. Only limit orders will be accepted for the first two hours.

Ether.fi is known as an Ethereum-based liquid staking and restaking protocol. The platform allows users to stake $ETH and obtain liquid tokens such as eETH or weETH. These assets can be used in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem while also offering additional return opportunities through the EigenLayer infrastructure.

The $ETHFI token is used within the platform for governance and staking processes. The protocol aims to offer more flexible and integrated financial solutions for both individual investors and DeFi users.

The exchange warned investors to exercise caution and conduct necessary research when trading high-risk crypto assets.
