Upbit

Upbit is a leading South Korean cryptocurrency exchange operated by Dunamu Inc., offering REST and WebSocket APIs for market data retrieval, order management, account balances, and transaction history.

Upbit supports KRW, BTC, and USDT trading markets and complies with travel-rule regulations for digital asset transfers. Regional API endpoints are available for Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.
