Bithumb announced on August 5 that it will operate an offline pop-up booth with a "Bitcoin Mining" concept at Shinsegae Siheung Premium Outlet for ten days, from August 8 to 17. This marks the first time a domestic virtual asset exchange has held such an event at a premium outlet in Korea.

This pop-up features a unique space designed to resemble an actual mining site. At the photo zone, which is decorated with structures reminiscent of a mine and mining facility, visitors can take photos as if they are mining Bitcoin themselves.


Visitors who present a receipt showing purchases of at least 50,000 won at the outlet can participate in a first-come, first-served prize draw to instantly receive a large Bithumb popcorn.


There are also benefits where visitors can receive actual Bitcoin. Those who sign up for Bithumb for the first time on-site and link their KB Kookmin Bank account will immediately receive a large popcorn along with benefits worth up to 70,000 won.


A Bithumb representative stated, "We wanted to present the representative concept of the virtual asset market, 'Bitcoin Mining,' in an enjoyable way in an offline space," adding, "We will continue to explore various ways to expand our connection with users."



Meanwhile, Bithumb plans to continue its pop-up events at other locations, including Paju Premium Outlet, Busan Premium Outlet, and Yeoju Premium Outlet, following the event at Siheung Premium Outlet.
