  Upbit is a leading South Korean cryptocurrency exchange operated by Dunamu Inc., offering REST and
  WebSocket APIs for market data retrieval, order management, account balances, and transaction history.
  Developers must register an Upbit account with security level 2 or higher to issue API keys. Authenticated
  requests use JWT bearer tokens (HS512) generated from an Access Key and Secret Key pair, while public
  quotation endpoints (market data, tickers, orderbooks, candles) require no authentication. Upbit supports
  KRW, BTC, and USDT trading markets and complies with travel-rule regulations for digital asset transfers.
  Regional API endpoints are available for Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.
