Upbit Will Be Listing a New Altcoin Today

Source Beincrypto

Upbit, South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has announced today the listing of Story (IP), the native token of the Story Protocol. 

The announcement has sparked a significant double-digit surge in the token’s price. It also made IP the top trending coin on CoinGecko.

Story (IP) Secures Upbit Listing 

For context, Story Protocol is a layer 1 blockchain that simplifies intellectual property management by enabling on-chain registration and enforcement of usage terms. It creates a transparent, decentralized IP repository where users can easily transact and monetize IP.

According to Upbit’s official notice, IP will be available for trading against three assets: Korean Won (KRW), Bitcoin (BTC), and Tether (USDT). The asset will go live to trade at 13:00 Korean Standard Time (KST). 

The exchange notified users that deposits and withdrawals, facilitated exclusively through the IP-Story network, will open within 90 minutes of the announcement. Upbit emphasized the importance of verifying the network before depositing, as transactions via unsupported networks will not be processed. 

Furthermore, to maintain market stability, Upbit has introduced temporary trading restrictions. It will cap buy orders for the first five minutes and block sell orders below 10% of the previous day’s closing price during the same period. Lastly, the exchange will only allow limit orders for the first two hours of trading.

“To comply with the Travel Rule, if assets are deposited into Upbit from an exchange not included in the list of virtual asset business operators for deposit/withdrawal, they cannot be processed, and returns may take a long time,” the notice read.

The listing has driven remarkable market activity. IP experienced a 16.13% rise. The token’s price increased from around $6.2 to $7.2. 

The altcoin shed some of its gains to trade at a press time value of $6.8, up 10.58% since the announcement. In the past 24 hours, IP’s value has grown by 15.9%, making it the second-highest top gainer on CoinGecko.

Moreover, trading activity also surged. IP’s trading volume pumped 346.7%, reaching $169 million. This indicated heightened investor interest. 

The latest rise is part of a broader uptrend. IP has been undergoing a bullish rally. Over the past month, the token’s value has soared by 127.9%, outperforming the broader crypto market, which has seen a 15.9% rise.

The token has also gained substantial institutional interest. On July 31, asset manager Grayscale launched a Story Trust. The Grayscale Story Trust offers investors regulated exposure to IP. 

“By transforming intellectual property and real-world data into fully programmable on-chain assets, Story is laying the foundational infrastructure for the global intellectual property economy, which has been reported to be worth as much as $80 trillion,” Grayscale noted.

Thus, all the factors are quite positive for the IP token. As the broader bull run continues, its performance in the crypto market will be worth watching.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
