KernelDAO’s multichain restaking platform will have its token, KERNEL, listed on South Korea’s Bithumb exchange in the KRW market on April 16, 2025.
KernelDAO’s listing on Bithumb is a notable event in the Korean cryptocurrency space, potentially impacting restaking protocols and attracting new users.
Bithumb, South Korea’s second-largest crypto exchange, will list KernelDAO’s token, KERNEL, on its KRW market, potentially boosting visibility. Bithumb’s historical listings, such as SONIC and SAFE, have often led to immediate price surges for new tokens. As reported in a crypto market analysis, “Listings on major exchanges like Bithumb can induce significant market activity and price movements.”
Bithumb supports over 170 cryptocurrencies and daily trading volumes are substantial. KernelDAO, known for its multichain restaking technology, enables users to restake ETH, BTC, and BNB assets, optimizing yield. This move follows a trend where Bithumb’s new listings often spike in initial trading.
The introduction of KERNEL on Bithumb is anticipated to have a significant impact on the restaking ecosystem, introducing liquidity shifts especially in ETH and BTC markets. Bithumb’s compliance efforts with South Korean regulators, namely the FIU and FSC, aim at ensuring investor confidence.
KernelDAO’s listing lacks direct statements from CEOs or founders, but it aligns with broader DeFi innovations seen across the cryptocurrency sector. The listing may influence market activity, reflecting typical double-digit surges, although precise price data is unavailable.
