South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb is forming a new committee to oversee its crypto listing process, which will convene monthly to make listing decisions.
South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb will launch a new committee in September that will determine which cryptocurrencies can be traded on its platform.
A monthly check by experts
South Korean news daily Yonhap News reported the formation of Bithumb’s new committee on Aug. 22. The committee, entitled the Listing Eligibility Deliberation Committee, will review the exchange’s listings once a month, per the report.
The committee will reportedly take into consideration daily trading volume, change in base market capitalization and project support among other factors. Cryptocurrencies that fail to meet the committee’s standards will have two months to improve their status before being delisted.
According to the report, Bithumb’s committee will also consist of lawyers and professors, in an effort to bring legal, technical and fintech experts on board to review the exchange’s listing process. A spokesperson for the exchange remarked:
“We will strengthen the check on technology development efforts and utility of cryptocurrency projects. We will take the lead in protecting investors by creating a transparent and safe trading environment.”
