Bitcoin Exchange Bithumb Announces New Altcoin Listing! Here’s the Listed Altcoin

Bithumb, one of South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, announced a new listing.

Bithumb Lists KRW Pair for Bio Protocol (BIO)

The exchange announced that it will open trading its token, Bio Protocol (BIO), to the Korean won (KRW). According to the official announcement, deposits and withdrawals for BIO will be available within three hours of the announcement.

Trading will begin on August 19, 2025, at 5:00 PM. BIO’s starting price on the exchange is 184 KRW. Deposits will also require 33 block confirmations.

According to the information provided by Bithumb, BIO will only be supported through the Ethereum network and investments from other networks will not be accepted.

Bio Protocol stands out as a DeSci (Decentralized Science) platform that aims to combine biotechnology research and financing processes with blockchain technology.

The platform allows researchers to finance their projects through IP tokenization or private funding mechanisms. Community members can also stake BIO tokens to have a say in the direction of research.

The BIO token serves as the primary tool for governance, staking, and other uses within the ecosystem. Experts believe this listing will both increase awareness of the Bio Protocol and boost interest in DeSci projects within the Korean crypto market.
