On Sept 22, 2025 at 15:00 (KST), Bithumb enabled native USDT deposits and withdrawals on the Aptos Network, providing users with an additional on-chain settlement rail for stablecoin transfers on a major Korean exchange.

With bilateral support from both Upbit and Bithumb, Aptos now ranks as the third network after Ethereum and Tron to facilitate USDT flows on South Korea’s top-tier platforms, a move that can strengthen local liquidity and exchange market infrastructure.

The integration highlights Aptos’s positioning as a next-generation Layer 1 optimized for high-concurrency, low-latency transactions while preserving security, and aligns with Korean regulatory and market efforts to advance stablecoin adoption and digital asset innovation.
