Bithumb exchange News - South Korea's leading cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has entered into a strategic partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a digital asset venture with connections to the Trump family. The collaboration, formalized through a memorandum of understanding signed in Seoul, aims to drive global decentralized finance adoption and explore new market opportunities across international borders. The partnership follows Bithumb CEO Lee Jae-won's August meeting with Eric Trump at Hong Kong's Bitcoin Asia 2025 conference.
