Fact Check

The claim that Upbit will list Fluent’s BLEND token with KRW, BTC, and USDT pairs is strongly supported by two primary-source posts from Upbit’s official X account: https://x.com/Official_Upbit/status/2049316561236979963 and https://x.com/Official_Upbit/status/2049316257942683698. Both explicitly name Fluent (BLEND) and the supported markets KRW, BTC, and USDT. The additional descriptive part of the claim—that Fluent is tied to an Ethereum-based Layer 2 focused on virtual machine interoperability—is supported by https://x.com/WuBlockchain/status/2049316217253671232, which summarizes Fluent as an Ethereum-based Layer 2 enabling interoperability between virtual machines. The official Upbit notice page appears to exist but was not fetchable in this run, so the conclusion relies mainly on Upbit’s official X announcement plus corroboration from Wu Blockchain.

Summary

Upbit will list BLEND trading pairs against KRW, BTC and USDT, according to an official announcement cited by the sources. The listing will let users trade BLEND, the token associated with Fluent, using Korean won, Bitcoin and Tether. Fluent is described as an Ethereum-based Layer 2 project designed to support interoperability between different virtual machines through a hybrid execution architecture. The multi-pair listing broadens market access and may support liquidity by allowing entry through both fiat-linked and crypto-denominated pairs. The sources did not provide trading start times, deposit schedules or network details.
