Upbit, South Korea's largest exchange, will list Hemi (Layer 2 Bitcoin-Ethereum connector) and Useless (Solana meme coin) in BTC and USDT pairs.

Tech & Launches · 2026-09-08

Upbit, South Korea's largest crypto exchange, announced support for two new tokens across BTC and USDT trading pairs: Hemi (HEMI) and Useless (USELESS). Hemi operates as a modular Layer 2 network that bridges Bitcoin and Ethereum, with HEMI as its native token, while Useless functions as a Solana-based meme coin.

The listing expands Upbit's offering in both infrastructure and speculative asset categories. Layer 2 solutions connecting separate blockchains have grown in prominence as scaling solutions, while meme coins continue to draw retail participation on major exchanges despite their volatile and speculative nature.

The announcement does not specify a listing date, exact trading pair launch timeline, or any conditions tied to the new listings.
