Bithumb is a South Korean centralized cryptocurrency exchange that lets users buy, sell and hold digital assets against the Korean won. Trading runs on a web platform, mobile apps and an open API, with separate won and Bitcoin markets. The exchange serves individual investors and corporate members in South Korea.

Members verify their identity and link a real-name bank account to deposit and withdraw won, and crypto transfers to other exchanges follow travel rule checks. Bithumb keeps customer won with an external bank and holds digital assets in separate hot and cold wallets, and it publishes the status of the assets it holds for customers on its site. It operates as a virtual asset service provider under South Korean regulation and runs an investor protection center.

Bithumb Exchange is the flagship product, with flexible and fixed staking, coin lending against collateral and themed portfolio buying in the same account.
