Spotted this happening in Korea: Hana Financial (하나금융) announced today that it’s partnering with Dunamu (the operator of Upbit) to validate stablecoin payment and settlement technology.

The key point: connecting Upbit wallets (including Kaia/GIWA Wallet) with card payments, and testing whether customers can pay by card using the stablecoins they hold while merchants receive settlement almost in real time—traditional card networks often take several days. They’re also testing “multi-stablecoin deductions”: for overseas purchases, deduct USDT/USDC first, then switch to a yen stablecoin like JPYC if the balance is insufficient. Hana Card, a subsidiary, is also involved; they plan to launch an actual service only after the relevant regulations are in place. It was also announced that premium co-branded benefits will be offered to Dunamu VIPs starting in January 2027.

Banks and exchanges are working together to make stablecoins usable for “paying and settling”—Korea is genuinely testing them in real-world payment scenarios.

Came across this in The Korea Times: Naver Financial’s acquisition of Dunamu (Upbit’s parent company) is still stalled—the Korea Fair Trade Commission is reviewing whether it would restrict competition. In a written response, the Financial Services Commission said it is also considering adding “public interest / neutrality” safeguards for exchanges in the draft Digital Asset Basic Act, to prevent them from being overly influenced by a single company or shareholder.

The stock-swap closing has been postponed three times: from June 30 → September 30 → December 31, and most recently to March 31 next year. Both companies are dominant in their respective fields, and antitrust and change-of-control approvals are still pending.

South Korea’s largest internet finance platform wants to bring its biggest exchange under its umbrella—but regulators are more concerned that the exchange could become an appendage of a corporate giant rather than neutral infrastructure.

🔥 THE ETHEREUM RENAISSANCE HAS ARRIVED as Upbit flips the switch on Optimism roll‑up – nobody saw this coming.

📊 Upbit, South Korea’s biggest crypto exchange, just became the Optimism Foundation’s first “self‑managed” enterprise client, locking in control of the core roll‑up architecture. Meanwhile #Ethereum is soaring at $2,461 (+3.01% 24h) with bullish funding at +0.0100% and open interest climbing to $5.70 B – the same momentum that fuels the #Optimism surge. Smart‑money eyes are already tracking the move, and #Upbit’s on‑chain signal adds serious weight to the play.

💡 This isn’t a flash‑in‑the‑pan tweet; it’s the floodgate opening for institutional layers to ride the #DeFi wave on a faster, cheaper Ethereum backbone, turning today’s bullish sentiment (Greed 63) into tomorrow’s market‑wide rally.

❓ Are you ready to ride the wave or will you watch it pass from the sidelines?

🇰🇷 Upbit’s parent company teams up with MoonPay—will Korean exchanges start offering stablecoin payments too?

October 21: MoonPay and Dunamu, the operator of Upbit, South Korea’s largest exchange, announced their intention to form a strategic partnership. The focus is clear:

🔹 Cross-border stablecoin payments and fund transfers
🔹 Corporate treasury management tools
🔹 Connecting MoonPay’s global network to Dunamu’s own GIWA chain (an Ethereum Layer 2) to help GIWA expand overseas

Note the wording: for now, they’re “exploring a partnership”—there’s no launched product yet. They haven’t announced a specific timeline, which stablecoins will be supported, or how users in South Korea will be able to use it.

My take:
What makes this news interesting isn’t MoonPay—it’s Upbit’s ambition. South Korean exchanges have traditionally made most of their money from local trading fees. Now, Upbit is building its own chain and bringing in a major on/off-ramp provider to connect it to global payment channels. That suggests it wants to evolve from a “trading venue” into infrastructure for payments and the movement of funds.

But the old problem with exchanges building their own chains remains: a partnership announcement can’t create real users and applications on the chain. Whether GIWA takes off will depend on whether it sees real payment volume down the line.

What do you think: are exchange-built L2s for payments meeting a real need, or is this just another land-grab story? 👇

🇰🇷 UPBIT RESTRICTED THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF TRADING, BUT $MPLX STILL SURGED +110% 🚀
On October 20, Upbit opened the MPLX/KRW pair, and Metaplex soared to $0.1256 within minutes. Despite the order restrictions, the price pulled back to 0.0722 📈
Upbit accounts for about 70% of trading volume, while liquidity for the BNB Chain version of the token is low: the top 10 holders own 57.8% ⚠️
Do you chase these listing spikes or avoid them? 👇
#MPLX #Metaplex #Upbit #Crypto

Gitcoin surged from 0.086 to 0.345 in three weeks; its daily trading volume in Korea exceeded Bitcoin’s. I’m watching, not chasing.

What I saw: Binance spot GTC closed at 0.0865 on September 29. On October 12, the day Upbit opened a KRW market, it surged to 0.393.
It then fell to 0.188 over the next four days, a pullback of about 52%, and surged to 0.384 again over the past two days.
GTC’s 24-hour trading volume on Upbit was about 98.7 billion won, the highest on the exchange—more than Bitcoin’s roughly 69.3 billion won. Its total market cap is only about $30 million.

I think Korean capital is speculating on a small-cap token, not repricing it based on fundamentals. A project that only restarted in mid-December can’t justify a move this fast.
Futures funding rates have been negative almost every time since October 13, and open interest has grown to about 2.9 times its previous level in three days. A lot of the gains are likely from a short squeeze.
Concrete, which was just listed on Upbit yesterday, fell from 0.435 to about 0.306 on Binance futures. The hype can fade just as quickly.

My plan: I’ll take another look only if it closes above the previous high of 0.393 on strong daily volume.
If the daily close falls below today’s low of 0.315, the second attempt to break higher has failed. I won’t buy in.

Do you think GTC will break 0.393 first, or fall back to 0.315 first?

$MPLX doubled in 15 minutes. What Meow Bro spotted wasn’t a story—it was Korean money 🐱

📊 Market watch (CoinGecko):
• Current price around $0.107, up 118.8% in 24h; intraday low 0.0485 / high 0.1213
• Market cap around $50.75 million, ranked #430
• 24h trading volume: $15.88 million, volume/market cap around 31%—the previous day’s spot volume was only about $1.17 million (Messari)

🔍 The catalyst is simple: Upbit announced that MPLX will be listed on its KRW market, with trading opening at 18:30 tonight. Buy orders will be restricted for the first 5 minutes, and for about 2 hours, only limit orders can be placed. Odaily reported that OKX market data showed a gain of over 110% in 15 minutes.

👉 Meow Bro’s take:
1️⃣ The news has already been front-run—the price had been hovering around 0.05 before Upbit’s announcement. Listing surges are often “buy the rumor, sell the news,” and the first hour after trading opens is when the price is most likely to get whipped around.
2️⃣ The price has moved far above its 7-day moving average. It’s still 88% below its ATH of 0.897, but don’t use the all-time high as your target.
3️⃣ Key levels: 0.0485 was the starting point before the surge; around 0.107 is the current battleground between bulls and bears. If it can’t hold, a retracement to fill the gap is likely.

⚠️ The broader market is still ranging around BTC at 81,000, and the Fear & Greed Index is at 55. Liquidity in altcoins is limited, and when a small-cap coin pulls back, it can quickly turn into a one-way move.

Do you think MPLX will “top out as soon as it lists” tonight, or make a second push higher? Cast your vote in the comments 👇

South Korea remains obsessed with $XRP ! 🇰🇷

Despite Upbit's total weekly turnover dropping 15.5% to 8.35 trillion KRW, XRP firmly held its ground as the #1 traded asset. While high volume reflects intense market focus, it doesn't confirm net buying—suggesting heavy trading activity rather than pure accumulation.

Is South Korea signaling the next big market move? Keep a close eye on momentum. 👁️

#XRP #CryptoNews #Upbit

🇰🇷 In South Korea, $XRP trades more than Bitcoin on Upbit, the country's largest platform. Two days in a row. Yet its price… is falling. How is that possible?

📌 The facts (Upbit, Oct. 15–16, 2026)
• Oct. 15: XRP/KRW ≈ $145.6M in 24 hours (11.7% of Upbit's volume), ahead of BTC at $126.5M and ETH at $92.1M
• Oct. 16: XRP $108.3M, BTC $95.3M, ETH $62.7M
• Price: $1.42 on Oct. 11 → low of $1.29 on Oct. 15 → ~$1.31 this Saturday
• No “kimchi premium”: the Upbit/Binance gap is only ~0.3%

🧠 The mechanics, simply
Volume = how many coins change hands. It doesn't tell you who wins. For every buyer, there's a seller. High volume while the price is falling could mean people are accumulating… or holders are getting out. The order book doesn't tell you which.

⚖️ The nuance
• Korean context: the regulator (FIU) blocked 27 foreign platforms this week (including KuCoin and MEXC), pushing traders toward Upbit
• Elsewhere, whales sent ~1.67B XRP to Binance (a 7-month high)
• U.S. XRP ETFs: near-zero flows (-$104,510 on Thursday)

👤 Cheikh, a tailor in Thiès, gets a WhatsApp message: “XRP is #1 in Korea, it's going to explode!” He thinks “lots of trading” = “price going up.” In reality, it's rotation, not a buying frenzy. Before buying on a rumor, he checks the price AND the volume, and only invests what he can afford to lose.

✅ Takeaway: high volume ≠ guaranteed gains. It's a signal to pay attention, not a direction.

When you see “record volume,” do you buy or wait? 👇

【$XRP 】Koreans brought XRP back to life again today

Came across something wild: On October 15, XRP spot trading volume on South Korea’s Upbit hit a whopping $145 million, leaving Bitcoin ($126 million) and Ether ($92 million) in the dust. It was still leading the next day.

Supposedly, regulators blocked overseas platforms, so everyone had to return to local exchanges. Stocks were falling too, so money flowed into crypto for some fun. The price, though, stayed pretty steady at around 1.33–1.34, with almost no kimchi premium.

My takeaway: The Ripple faithful have waited so long for the 2018 high that their hair’s gone gray, and they finally scored a win in trading volume. Like failing the exam but having the best attendance in class. As for me, I’m just watching the show—not getting carried away.

🚨 XRP is outtrading BTC and ETH on Upbit, South Korea’s largest exchange, with XRP/KRW volume hitting $145.57M—11.74% of total spot volume. This signals strong local demand despite price drift. Watch for sustained volume as a potential accumulation sign. Could this regional strength precede a broader breakout?

📉 ZIL plunged in a single wick to $0.0027. Upbit officially announced its delisting, and two major Korean exchanges are taking action!

🔥 What happened
• Upbit will delist Zilliqa (ZIL) on November 16, citing unresolved issues that had previously placed it on the delisting watchlist
• Bithumb also announced that it will delist ZIL (reported by CoinNess)
• According to BlockBeats, HTX market data showed ZIL plunging more than 22% in a short period, falling to $0.0027
• A week ago, ZIL was still around $0.0036; it has fallen nearly 20% over the past 7 days (CoinGecko chart)

🧩 Background
Earlier this year, a private key vulnerability in the Ledger app led ZIL transfers to be temporarily suspended, and Upbit flagged the token at the time. Although the EVM migration was subsequently completed, Binance has also delisted ZIL for users in Brazil. The negative news has been piling up.

⚠️ My take
Being delisted by two major Korean exchanges at the same time means losing one of ZIL’s most important sources of liquidity. There’s a month between the delisting announcement and its effective date. Historically, tokens in this situation often follow a pattern: “sell-off on the news → rebound → another sell-off as the delisting date approaches.” If you’re chasing a rebound, think through your exit strategy first.

💡 Reminder: If you hold an asset under delisting review, check each exchange’s delisting date and withdrawal deadline carefully. Don’t wait until the last day.

This is only my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice

#Upbit Trading volume fell 4.2%, and the market rebound lacks momentum

Trading volume on South Korean exchange Upbit fell 4.2% over 24 hours to approximately 31.72 billion won, indicating that market activity continues to cool. Although some cryptocurrencies have rebounded, overall buying pressure has yet to recover significantly.

XRP trading was active, accounting for 10.19% of total volume. Some altcoins performed strongly: WAL rose 74.61% for the week, and BAT gained 68.79%, while coins such as NEAR continued to weaken.

Korean exchanges hit $BLUR twice today—Upbit and Bithumb both issued investment warnings and halted deposits.

What’s confirmed: Upbit announced that BLUR would be designated an investment warning asset starting 15:00 KST on 10/13, with deposits suspended. Bithumb followed suit the same day, explicitly citing Blur’s official plan to shut down its frontend. Blur’s official account made it clear: the frontend will be deprecated on 11/12, but the on-chain protocol will continue to run, and $BLUR will still control the fee switch. Binance spot fell from around 0.0183 to around 0.0118, down roughly 35% in 24 hours, with over $11 million in trading volume.

Today, the market is pricing in the “Korean exchange review process,” not “the protocol is still alive.” A warning ≠ immediate delisting, but the timeline points to 10/26–30: if the issues aren’t resolved, trading support may be terminated.

My stance is clear: bearish. Before the review concludes, I’m treating any rebound as a chance to reduce exposure.
$BLUR

$RSR rose 59% in 24 hours, and almost all of it happened in 15 minutes in the early hours.
The spark: Upbit announced KRW and USDT pairs. The Korean listing effect, once again. What gives me pause: volume up 9,000% in a day. These spikes tend to reverse quickly.
Will it last, or is it a trap?

$GTC — Upbit listing. Today, October 12, at 19:30 KST, South Korea’s largest exchange, Upbit, opened trading for GTC in KRW and USDT pairs (Ethereum network only). This brought an influx of Asian liquidity — the price briefly surged to $0.39300 — a real event. But GTC is a governance token with no cash flow, no buybacks, and no connection to Techne.

🛡️ Support: $0.26043 (EMA25) → $0.20892 (EMA99)
🎯 Resistance: $0.39300 → $0.40483

#GTC #Gitcoin #Techne #Upbit

❓ Can $GTC hold half of its +137% Upbit listing hour?
🇰🇷 Upbit opened KRW + USDT GTC markets at 10:30 UTC
⚡ 1H candle: $0.1658 → $0.393 top, $9.5M traded (~100x normal)
✅ $0.2954 now: still +59% and over the $0.249 Oct 5 high
✅ Lows since the spike rise: $0.2753 held, 20 EMA turning up
⚠️ 25% under the top, 1H RSI 76 = stretched
⚠️ Listing pumps fade fast: LUMIA gave back 39% in a day
🎯 My take: over $0.275 = base building; under $0.249 → $0.20

The only definitive RSR announcement of the day! Upbit suddenly lists an RSR/KRW pair—what’s behind the 66% surge in 15 minutes?

The established stablecoin protocol Reserve Rights (RSR) has surged! At 1:05 a.m. Eastern Time, Upbit unexpectedly announced the listing of RSR/KRW and USDT trading pairs. Within 15 minutes of the announcement, the price spiked to an intraday high of $0.00282 before retreating to $0.002363.

24-hour trading volume soared to $95 million—nearly two-thirds of its market cap—driven purely by the KRW listing.

Bottom line: This is a typical premium on a KRW-market opening. $0.0020 is the price support zone from yesterday. A break below it would signal that the first wave of KRW buying is completely over. Do not chase the price.
#RSR #Upbit #韩元效应 #稳定币
$RSR

The announcement had barely surfaced, and the KRW market hadn’t fully heated up yet, but $RSR had already gained over 50% on Binance spot.

ChainCatcher / TokenPost: Upbit is listing Reserve Rights today, with KRW and USDT trading pairs (around 14:05 KST, on the Ethereum network). On Binance spot, the price surged from around 0.00160 to 0.00281; it’s now around 0.00249, up about 55.8% in 24 hours, with roughly $5.6M in trading volume—and hourly volume exploded right during the announcement window.

Korean retail investors really like being able to buy directly with KRW. When an RWA / stablecoin governance token gets access to a KRW trading channel, liquidity-driven repricing comes faster than slogans. This is a visible reaction to the listing channel opening up—not a quiet, gradual pump.

I’m leaning bullish on this catalyst window—the volatility could kick up another round once the KRW market starts seeing real volume.
