Cryptocurrencies are very popular in South Korea. That’s why traders and investors are keeping a close eye on its data on Upbit, the country’s largest crypto exchange. 5 altcoins are seeing a remarkable increase in trading volume on the cryptocurrency exchange.
The first altcoin project Bitcoin Gold (BTG)

Chris Trew founded Stratis Group Ltd., the company behind the Stratis platform, in 2016. Trew was aiming to develop an enterprise-focused Blockchain platform, which he felt was lacking in the industry at the time. Believing that Bitcoin would become dominant in the crypto space, meaning that the code base would be continually improved over time, he decided to base the platform on the Bitcoin (BTC) protocol. STRAX saw a nearly 500 percent increase in trading volume on the South Korean crypto exchange. Altcoin price rose 1.91% on a daily basis to $0.4842 at press time.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is also on the list
