Bithumb Becomes First South Korean Crypto Exchange to Win YouTube Silver Button

Bithumb said June 29 that it had become the first South Korean virtual-asset exchange to surpass 100,000 YouTube subscribers, earning the platform’s Silver Button creator award.

The YouTube Silver Button is awarded to channels with at least 100,000 subscribers. Bithumb’s official channel is the first in South Korea’s virtual-asset industry to reach that threshold, establishing itself as an influential content channel.

Bithumb will hold a subscriber appreciation event on its official YouTube channel through July 2. Users who subscribe to the channel during the event period, post a congratulatory comment and verify both through the participation link will be entered into a drawing. A total of 100 winners will receive chicken gift certificates. The winners are scheduled to be announced on July 7 through the channel’s community page.

Bithumb launched its official YouTube channel in 2017 and has offered a range of content as a communication channel for investors. Subscriber growth accelerated after the company revamped the channel in June 2025 and sharply expanded market information and economic content.

Its main programs include “bTalknomics,” an economy and personal-finance talk show; “Bithumb Road,” which features the investment experiences of individual investors; and “One Shot Interview,” which highlights investor returns. The channel also provides major market trends through its daily “AI Coin Prices” content.

A Bithumb official said the Silver Button was the result of subscribers’ interest and support, as well as the company’s efforts to provide quality content. The event was organized to celebrate the 100,000-subscriber milestone and express the company’s gratitude. Bithumb said it would continue to strengthen communication with investors through content that delivers market information and economic trends in an easy-to-understand and accurate way.
