Everyone knows that the Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit has a high probability of skyrocketing, but I believe that everyone is more concerned about how to screen out trading pairs that will skyrocket, and most importantly, how to ambush projects that may be listed in advance.

First, let’s review the impact of the 13 coin listings on prices since March this year:

Of the 5 BTC trading pairs, 4 were down and 1 was up.

Among the KRW trading pairs, there were 2 IEO new coin openings. The trend was affected by the coin itself and had a low correlation with Upbit:

Excluding IEO, the remaining 6 KRW trading pairs all saw an increase in price.

It can be seen from this that the launch of the KRW trading pair is likely to cause the coin price to rise, while the BTC trading pair will not be greatly affected.

However, the rise in coin prices is triggered by the "coin listing announcement". Once trading is opened, the coin price will begin to fall.

The time difference between the announcement and the opening of trading is often not fixed, so if your hands are fast enough when you see the announcement, you may be able to benefit from this wave of increases.

Now the next question is, is there any way to predict the projects that may be launched in the future? If so, perhaps we can prepare to place orders in advance or ambush in advance.

Upbit’s UDC annual meeting is a very valuable reference indicator.

From 2018 to date, a total of 54 projects that have issued or may issue tokens have participated in the UDC annual meeting, of which 41 have launched KRW trading pairs.

That’s 76% accuracy!

There are currently 13 that have not yet been listed on Upbit or have not yet launched KRW trading pairs.

Among them, SLP, HNT, GALA, NFT, and ROSE have not been launched yet;

The following are the ones that have been launched with BTC trading pairs but not with KRW trading pairs: MKR, YGG, STG, IOTX, GAL;

Those that have not yet issued tokens but have participated in UDC include: Linea and LayerZero;

This year’s UDC will be here on November 13th. You can keep a close eye on these projects that have not yet been listed to see if there are any major news updates at the annual meeting.

If so, it may increase the possibility of listing in the future
