Espresso (ESP) Listings on KuCoin, Coinone, and XT.COM Leave Upbit in Question

Espresso (ESP) has gained attention in recent days, with some sources claiming that it is listed on various cryptocurrency exchanges. However, a closer look at the evidence reveals that while ESP is indeed traded on KuCoin, Coinone, and XT.COM, its listing status on Upbit remains unconfirmed.

The absence of an official announcement from Upbit, combined with the lack of live order books for ESP pairs, has led to speculation about the exchange's intentions. According to the exchange's official channels, there is no confirmation of an ESP listing in KRW, BTC, or USDT. The project's official website and social feeds have not made any statements regarding Upbit's support for ESP.

It's essential to note that verification requires three signals: an official listing notice, a visible trading interface or API endpoint, and corroboration from the project's official channels. Absent these, pair availability is not established. Given the significant impact of pair availability on access, liquidity, and fiat on-ramps, confirmations should be read directly from exchange sources.

Confirmed ESP listings include KuCoin (ESP/USDT), Coinone (ESP/KRW), and XT.COM (ESP/USDT) in its Innovation Zone. These exchanges have provided official announcements and live order book evidence for the respective pairs. In contrast, Upbit's listing status remains unverified due to the lack of an official notice and live order books.
