Citrea, a company backed by Founders Fund and Galaxy Ventures, has announced that its CTR token is now available for trading on UPbit and Bithumb, two of South Korea's largest digital asset exchanges. This move marks a significant expansion of the token's reach into one of the world's most active retail digital asset markets.
The listing represents a major milestone in Citrea's mission to build open, user-led Bitcoin capital markets. With UPbit and Bithumb collectively dominating South Korean crypto trading volume, CTR's presence on both platforms deepens liquidity and broadens access to the Citrea ecosystem for millions of South Korean users.
CTR was officially launched on May 4, 2026 as a coordination asset that lets users and applications take direct control of how capital flows across the Bitcoin ecosystem. Through a modified vote-escrow staking model, CTR holders can stake their tokens to receive xCTR, granting voting power over the Citrea Governance Treasury and the broader Citrea Network.
