 Astar (ASTR) rose to a multi-week high on Thursday, reaching an intraday peak of $0.059 as market reaction to news of a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="major" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/major.html">major</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="exchange" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exchange.html">exchange</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="listing" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/listing.html">listing</a> buoyed bulls. 
 However, with sellers still largely present, ASTR has pared most of the daily gains and currently traded near $0.053. Per data on CoinGecko, the cryptocurrency’s price has a 24-hour and seven-day upside of 2.5% and 4.4% respectively at the time of writing (11:30 am ET).

 A tweet from Sota Watanabe, founder of Astar Network, on Thursday highlighted the native ASTR’s listing on Bithumb, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea. With the news came the buying pressure, a scenario that catapulted ASTR/USD from lows of $0.052 to near $0.060. 
 Notably, the spike in the USD pair came even as Bithumb added support for ASTR/KRW, driving volume across the country.

 The listing on the Korea-based exchange comes after Astar Network, which is Japan’s leading blockchain, launched its highly anticipated zero knowledge (ZK) layer 2 chain Astar zkEVM on Ethereum.&nbsp; 
 Astar’s L2 scaling solution is powered by the Polygon CDK. According to the Astar and Polygon teams, the new ZK-powered chain brings transaction speed, scalability and security to businesses and enterprises. It’s part of the roadmap to delivering global adoption for Web3.
