Circle's euro stablecoin EURC is now listed on Upbit, South Korea's largest crypto exchange. The EURC Upbit listing gives Korean users access to a token designed to track the value of the euro, though several practical trading details still need confirmation.
Upbit's market list now includes three EURC trading markets: KRW-EURC, USDT-EURC and BTC-EURC. That means EURC can be paired against the Korean won, the USDT stablecoin and Bitcoin.

A listing means the market exists on the exchange. It does not, by itself, confirm that live trading, deposits and withdrawals are all open. Those operational details were not established by the market data. For related coverage, see Circle Agrees to Buy Tazapay in $400 Million Stock Deal.
Reports that the listing launched around September 11, 2026 come from unconfirmed news headlines, and indexed reports carried differing dates. So we are not treating any single launch date as established fact. For related coverage, see MoneyGram Launches Visa Stablecoin Card in Colombia.
EURC is Circle's euro-backed stablecoin, a token issued under a full-reserve model, according to Circle's issuer page. Circle says EURC is backed 100% by euro and is redeemable 1:1 for euro.
A stablecoin is a crypto token that aims to hold a steady value, in this case the euro. Circle publishes monthly reserve attestations for the token. It also runs Circle Mint, which lets qualified businesses and wholesale distributors convert euros into EURC and back again.
EURC was previously known as Euro Coin and EUROC. Circle says the existing token addresses remain the same despite the name change.
One point matters for Upbit users. The euro reference describes what the asset tracks. It does not mean Upbit offers a direct euro (EUR) trading pair, since the confirmed markets are priced in won, USDT and Bitcoin. Choosing a euro token is a different decision than a dollar one, a topic we cover in our guide on which stablecoin businesses should use for payments.
Some practical details were not confirmed in the available data. The exact trading start time, any regional or account eligibility rules, and whether each market is fully live all remain unverified.
Transfer conditions are also unconfirmed. That includes which blockchain networks Upbit supports for EURC deposits and withdrawals, and whether those transfers are open yet. Sending tokens over an unsupported network can cause a loss.
The presence of a listing does not tell you anything about trading volume, liquidity or price movement. For background only, EURC's market value was about $464.49 million in a September 12, 2026 research snapshot.

Background context only: this is not listing-time data and does not establish the Upbit launch date or listing impact. The linked public CoinGecko page may show newer values; the supplied API response had no observation timestamp.Circle has been expanding its footprint through moves like its plan to buy payments firm Tazapay and changes in how it manages USDC across blockchains. Exchange availability, though, is a separate matter from adoption.
For anyone considering EURC on Upbit, the takeaway is simple. Confirm the trading start time, the supported deposit and withdrawal networks, and any account rules directly with Upbit's official notices before you act.
