Bithumb Global Will List eGLD! Trading Starts in September

We’re excited to announce that our token will be listed on Bithumb Global! The international exchange will support the Elrond mainnet token swap and list eGLD for trading in September, for eGLD/BTC and eGLD/USDT pairs.

The web interface at https://bithumb.pro is available in 8 different languages, allows the purchasing of cryptocurrency directly with 35 different currencies, which are served by 30 different payment processors.

Bithumb Global is the international arm of Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. It is powered by the same robust exchange engine, intuitive interface, and outstanding user experience.

This new exchange listing is important for the Elrond ecosystem because it adds a large amount of fiat onramp options, such as via the African M-Pesa, and direct exposure to multiple localized communities at the same time.

About Elrond

Elrond is a new blockchain architecture, designed from scratch to bring a 1000-fold cumulative improvement in throughput and execution speed. To achieve this, Elrond introduces two key innovations: a novel Adaptive State Sharding mechanism, and a Secure Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm, enabling linear scalability with a fast, efficient, and secure consensus mechanism. Thus, Elrond can process upwards of 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), with 5-second latency, and negligible cost, attempting to become the backbone of a permissionless, borderless, globally accessible internet economy.
