Hyperliquid Bucks a Red Market as Korea’s Top Exchanges Announce Listings

Brief

By Dextape Desk · November 10, 2026

Upbit and Bithumb, South Korea's two largest crypto exchanges, have announced Hyperliquid HYPE listings, both starting November 10. Upbit goes live at 15:00 Korea time in KRW, BTC and USDT markets, accepting HYPE transfers only over HyperEVM. Bithumb opens an hour later with one KRW pair, blocking buy orders for five minutes and allowing limit orders for about two hours. HYPE, which fell over 12% in the past month, sits about 24% below its September 23 record of $97.96. South Korea ranked fifth in Chainalysis' 2026 adoption index, and Seoul's October blocks on 27 unregistered exchanges have narrowed offshore access. The article says the response of Korean traders after launch will show whether gains last.

Why it matters: Listings on two major Korean exchanges give local traders a registered route to HYPE as offshore access narrows.

Mentioned: Hyperliquid, Bitcoin, Tether
