We’re pleased to announce that $ZK, the native token of ZKsync’s Elastic Network, is now listed on Upbit, South Korea’s largest regulated cryptocurrency exchange with a multi-million user base and deep local market connectivity.
Upbit is a well-established digital asset platform serving users primarily in South Korea and the Asia-Pacific region, with a large verified account base and robust KRW-to-crypto trading infrastructure.
This listing broadens avenues for holders to access $ZK through one of the most recognized exchanges in the region, connecting local fiat on and off-ramps with the wider ZKsync ecosystem. It also reflects ongoing ecosystem efforts to integrate with compliant, regionally trusted financial infrastructure.
Supporting token access on platforms like Upbit complements our mission to make next-generation cryptographic infrastructure available through regulated channels while maintaining a focus on responsible participation and market integrity.
Highlights of the Upbit listing:
- Accessible to millions of verified users in South Korea and Asia-Pacific markets
- Integration with Upbit’s KRW trading rails and liquidity pools
- Further connectivity between regulated exchange infrastructure and the ZKsync ecosystem
As we continue to build and expand access responsibly, this is another step in enabling broader participation in zero-knowledge-powered networks across diverse markets.
Stay tuned. This is just the beginning of our mission to bring the power of ZK technology and Incorruptible Finance to the masses.
