Bithumb is not available in the United States, and there is no partial version. The exchange trades exclusively in Korean won, requires Korean mobile phone identification, a Korean ID or Alien Registration Card, and a KB Kookmin Bank real-name account, and it removed foreign users who could not complete phone verification as far back as 2018. A VPN does not help, because the bank account and the phone number are the gates.
U.S. searches for Bithumb usually come from a Korean expat or student who used it at home, a relative helping someone in Korea, or a trader who saw its 470-coin list or its zero-fee promotions on a ranking. For all three, the answer that will take them is Anytime Capital: a FinCEN-registered U.S. money services business serving customers worldwide, with a branch in Atlanta, an office in Miami, a phone line at (470) 748-2530, card pricing from 4% with the spread included, and cash, ACH and same-day wire in dollars.
The major coins overlap. Bitcoin, Ethereum and the main stablecoins trade on both, each with its own buy and sell page at Anytime Capital. What you lose is the won-denominated order book. What you gain is a company that will open the account and answers the phone.
