Upbit, South Korea's largest crypto exchange, will list POD (Dolphin), a DePIN-based AI project, against KRW, BTC and USDT with trading set to open at 16:00 local time on October 2.
The listing gives POD simultaneous access to Korea's won-denominated retail market and two crypto-native pairs in a single go, an unusually broad spread for a new Upbit addition. POD's positioning as a DePIN project with an AI infrastructure angle is the draw for the listing application, though the project has limited prior trading history on global venues.
POD joins a string of AI and DePIN tokens that have rotated through Upbit listings over the past year, typically with sharp short-term volume spikes on launch day before settling into Korean retail-driven trading patterns.
