South Korea-based cryptocurrency exchanges Bithumb and Upbit have announced they will list the Aztec ($AZTEC) token. According to the announcement, $AZTEC will be traded against KRW (South Korean won), $BTC, and $USDT.
Bithumb announced that $AZTEC will only be available for deposits and withdrawals via the Ethereum network. They emphasized that transfers across other networks will not be supported.
Deposit and withdrawal transactions are scheduled to begin within two hours of the announcement, with transactions officially starting at 4:30 PM on February 20, 2026. The reference price is set at 27.70 KRW, and deposits will require 33 block confirmations.
Upbit similarly announced that it will list $AZTEC on its KRW, $BTC, and $USDT markets. The exchange stated that buy orders will be restricted for the first 5 minutes after trading begins, and temporary restrictions will be applied to sell orders outside of certain price ranges. It was also reported that only limit orders will be valid for the first approximately two hours.
Aztec is known as an Ethereum-based privacy-focused Layer-2 solution. Using zero-knowledge technology, the network aims to provide secure and programmable smart contracts with an encrypted state ledger. The $AZTEC token is used in areas such as staking, transaction fees, and governance.
Exchanges warned investors of high risk, reminding them to carefully check network and contract addresses before transferring funds.
