Bithumb, the leading cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea, recently listed FLOKI, a prominent competitor to meme-based cryptocurrency Shiba Inu.

The exchange is part of South Korea's dynamic cryptocurrency landscape and is known for its stringent listing criteria, high trading volume and robust security measures.

FLOKI, meme-originated token, has managed to carve out a niche in the volatile crypto market by building a fanbase known as Floki Vikings.

The Bithumb listing of FLOKI is expected to enhance the token's accessibility to South Korean users and also provide a platform for its various projects.
