BICO, BMT, NIL and GWEI Gain New BTC and USDT Trading Pairs on Upbit

The South Korean exchange's listings coincided with gains across all four assets, led by ETHGas's GWEI token. Upbit, one of South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has expanded its trading offerings with new BTC and USDT pairs for four tokens. The additions cover BICO, BMT, NIL and GWEI, according to CryptoBriefing. The move gives users on the platform direct access to these assets against both Bitcoin and the dollar-pegged stablecoin Tether. Exchange listings of this kind often serve as a liquidity milestone for smaller tokens. Adding pairs against BTC and USDT typically broadens the pool of traders who can access an asset without first converting into Korean won or another local pair. For projects still building trading infrastructure, a listing on a major exchange like Upbit can meaningfully change how easily their tokens are bought and sold. BeInCrypto reported that all four tokens saw price gains following the listing news, with GWEI, the token associated with ETHGas, leading the group at roughly 11%. The other three tokens, BICO, BMT and NIL, also moved higher, though the report did not detail the exact size of those gains. Upbit has a long history of influencing short-term price action for tokens it lists or expands trading access to. South Korea remains one of the most active retail crypto markets globally, and listings on its top exchanges frequently draw immediate trading volume. That dynamic can produce sharp price swings in the hours after an announcement, independent of any change in a token’s underlying fundamentals. It is not yet clear whether the price gains reflect sustained investor interest or a short-term reaction typical of listing announcements. Historically, such moves can fade once initial trading activity settles, though outcomes vary by token and market conditions at the time. Neither source detailed the exact timing of when the new pairs went live relative to the price moves, nor whether Upbit issued additional context such as trading fee promotions or risk warnings that sometimes accompany new listings. Readers should treat the reported gains as a snapshot tied to the listing news rather than a guaranteed market trend. Sources disagree on this story This article was published before the reports below were compared. The reporting above stands; what follows is where the published accounts do not agree. CryptoBriefing and crypto.news both report Upbit's new BICO, BMT, NIL, and GWEI pairs but disagree on whether trading began at the originally scheduled 13:00 KST or was pushed back three hours to 16:00 KST. What all sources agree on Upbit is adding eight new trading pairs across four tokens: Biconomy (BICO), Bubblemaps (BMT), Nillion (NIL), and ETHGas (GWEI). Each token receives one BTC pair and one USDT pair. BICO, NIL, and GWEI deposits use the Ethereum network; BMT deposits use the Solana network.
