Bithumb New Listing Alert

Detect new Bithumb listings instantly. Real-time Korean exchange listing notifications via WebSocket API for automated trading.

Why monitor Bithumb listings?

Bithumb is one of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, ranking among the top exchanges globally by volume. Like other Korean exchanges, Bithumb listings can trigger significant price movements on international markets due to the isolated nature of Korean crypto trading.

New listings on Bithumb bring an influx of Korean retail investors, often resulting in sharp price increases for the listed token on other exchanges. Combined with Upbit listing alerts, monitoring Bithumb gives you comprehensive coverage of the Korean exchange market.

Connecting to Bithumb listing alerts

Filter for Bithumb announcements using the ?cex=bithumb parameter:

# Bithumb listings only
import json, websocket

def on_message(ws, msg):
    data = json.loads(msg)
    if data["type"] == "announcement":
        print(f"BITHUMB: {data['ticker']} — {data['title']}")

websocket.WebSocketApp(
    "wss://cryptolisting.ws?cex=bithumb",
    header=["X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"],
    on_message=on_message,
).run_forever()

Korean exchange listing strategy

Monitoring both Bithumb and Upbit together gives you full coverage of the Korean market. Sometimes a token is listed on Bithumb first, sometimes on Upbit. The exchange that lists first typically causes the bigger pump:

# Monitor all Korean exchanges
"wss://cryptolisting.ws?cex=bithumb,upbit"
