New Trading Pairs Added to Korean Exchange
Bithumb, one of South Korea’s major cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced it will list two new digital assets for trading against the Korean won. The exchange confirmed that Fluid (FLUID) and Cudis (CUDIS) will begin trading at 19:00 on Friday, September 26, 2025.
According to the official announcement, FLUID will start trading at 7,895 KRW while CUDIS begins at 111 KRW. The exchange has specified that FLUID deposits will be supported via the Ethereum network, and CUDIS deposits will use the Solana network. Both assets will have their deposit and withdrawal services activated within two hours of the listing announcement.
Trading Promotion Details
Bithumb is offering a trading promotion for these new listings. From 7:00 PM on September 26th until 10:00 AM on September 29th, users can trade FLUID and CUDIS without paying commission fees. However, there’s a catch—any trading points or maker rewards earned during this promotional period won’t be valid.
The exchange also noted that users who gain unfair advantages through manipulation or other improper means will be excluded from the promotion entirely. This seems like a standard precaution to prevent abuse of the fee-free trading window.
About the Newly Listed Projects
FLUID operates as an Ethereum-based liquidity layer protocol designed to allow different DeFi protocols to share a single liquidity pool. The project aims to increase capital efficiency while maintaining security through advanced liquidation mechanisms. Governance of the protocol is handled through voting by FLUID token holders, who decide on all protocol updates.
CUDIS takes a different approach, focusing on health data and longevity promotion. The project includes a smart ring device called CudisRing and a mobile application that enables users to manage their health data, gain insights about longevity, and earn rewards by contributing data to the ecosystem.
Broader Market Implications
This dual listing represents Bithumb’s effort to diversify its offerings across different blockchain sectors. By adding both a DeFi-focused project and a healthcare technology token simultaneously, the exchange appears to be catering to different investor interests within the Web3 space.
Korean exchanges like Bithumb have historically played significant roles in determining which projects gain traction in Asian markets. The inclusion of these two tokens could potentially influence their visibility and adoption rates, though it’s hard to predict how markets will respond to these specific listings.
The timing seems strategic, with the weekend trading promotion likely designed to generate initial volume and liquidity for these new pairs. Whether this approach will succeed in establishing sustainable trading activity remains to be seen, but it’s a common strategy exchanges use when introducing new assets to their platforms.
