description: 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. Developers must register an
  Upbit account with security level 2 or higher to issue API keys. Authenticated requests use JWT bearer tokens (HS512) generated
  from an Access Key and Secret Key pair, while public quotation endpoints (market data, tickers, orderbooks, candles) require
  no authentication. 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.
