On September 8, 2026, South Korea's largest crypto exchange Upbit added three new tokens: Cluster Protocol's CP, Hemi network's HEMI, and the meme token USELESS. CP launched with KRW, BTC, and USDT trading pairs, allowing Korean investors to buy directly with local currency, while HEMI and USELESS were listed with BTC and USDT pairs only. Cluster Protocol focuses on decentralized AI computing, Hemi is an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 network with Bitcoin-level security, and USELESS is a Solana-based meme token launched fairly without presales. This move highlights growing interest in these tokens within the Korean market, especially with KRW pairs facilitating easier access for local retail investors.
