Fact Check

Four independent news outlets consistently report, citing an official Bithumb announcement, that Bithumb is adding a KRW trading pair for the O token (o1.exchange / Owon Exchange). CoinNess confirms the listing occurred July 28, 2026 at 5:00 a.m. UTC, while PANews and BlockBeats add consistent operational details (14:00 local trading start, Base network for deposits/withdrawals). The consistency across sources and reference to an official announcement strongly supports the claim.

Summary

Bithumb said it added Ripple USD (RLUSD) and AEON to its Korean won market, with RLUSD trading beginning at 7:30 a.m. UTC and AEON scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. UTC. The listings expand direct fiat-to-crypto access for South Korean users through KRW pairs, which can reduce the need for intermediary conversions and improve local trading access and liquidity. As one of South Korea’s largest exchanges by volume, Bithumb is closely watched for signals on local retail market sentiment and operates under anti-money laundering and know-your-customer requirements within the country’s regulatory framework.
