Launched in October 2017 by Dunamu Inc., a South Korean fintech giant, Upbit quickly became one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world by trading volume. Initially powered by a partnership with the US-based exchange Bittrex, Upbit leveraged this to offer an extensive list of tradable cryptocurrencies, which was a key factor in its rapid growth. The company's mission is to provide a reliable, secure, and transparent digital asset trading environment. It has since expanded its services to other Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand, focusing heavily on regulatory compliance in each jurisdiction.
