South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, have announced they will list the community-focused meme coin project SPX6900 (SPX) on their platforms. According to the announcements, SPX will be accessible to investors in both Korean won (KRW) and various cryptocurrency trading pairs.
According to an announcement by Upbit, the SPX6900 will begin trading on June 16th in KRW, BTC, and USDT pairs. Trading is scheduled to begin at 2 PM on June 16th, with deposits and withdrawals opening within two hours of the announcement. The asset will only be supported on the Ethereum network; transfers from other networks will not be accepted.
Bithumb also announced on the same day that it would list the SPX6900 on the Korean won market. According to the exchange, trading will begin on June 16th at 5:00 PM. The reference price is set at 515 won, and deposits and withdrawals will be activated within two hours of the announcement.
Both exchanges stated that the standard security measures applied to new listings will also apply to SPX. Accordingly, buy orders will be restricted for the first five minutes after trading begins. Additionally, only limit orders will be allowed for a limited period, and various restrictions will be applied to sell orders to prevent excessive price movements.
SPX6900 is described as a meme coin project built on internet humor and community culture, referencing the S&P 500, one of the best-known indices of traditional financial markets. The project revolves around a narrative satirizing financial markets and investment culture, while noting that the token has no auxiliary use cases.
With the recent resurgence of interest in meme coin projects within the cryptocurrency sector, the decision by South Korea’s two largest exchanges to list SPX6900 on the same day has drawn attention. Analysts note that listings on high-volume platforms like Upbit and Bithumb generally increase the visibility and liquidity of the asset.
