- Upbit lists Gitcoin (GTC) in KRW and USDT markets — trading opens October 12, 2026 at 19:30 KST
- Two trading pairs confirmed: GTC/KRW and GTC/USDT — no deposit schedule published yet
- Announcement sourced from @Official_Upbit on X — no corroboration from Upbit's listing calendar as of writing
Upbit, South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, announced on October 12, 2026 the addition of Gitcoin (GTC) to its trading platform. The announcement was published via the official @Official_Upbit account on X, confirming support for GTC across two separate markets.
Gitcoin (GTC) will be available in both the KRW (Korean Won) and USDT markets, giving traders two distinct pairs: GTC/KRW and GTC/USDT. Trading is scheduled to open at 19:30 KST on October 12, 2026, though Upbit has labeled this as an estimated time. No additional technical specifications — such as deposit windows, withdrawal schedules, or minimum order sizes — have been published alongside the announcement.
The dual-market listing gives traders direct fiat access via GTC/KRW, removing the need for an intermediate stablecoin conversion, while GTC/USDT provides a standard dollar-denominated pair for those operating in stablecoin terms. Both pairs will be accessible through Upbit’s standard trading interface. Traders should verify deposit availability before the trading window opens, as deposit schedules have not been separately confirmed.
Upbit regularly adds assets across both its KRW and USDT markets in tandem. Listing on both markets simultaneously signals Upbit’s intent to provide full-spectrum Korean retail access to GTC, including direct won-to-token exposure — a format that historically drives significant volume on Korean exchanges.
As of the time of writing, no matching entry has appeared on Upbit’s official English or Korean listing calendar, and no independent confirmation from Gitcoin’s blog or governance forum has been published. The announcement is currently sourced from a single social media post. Traders are advised to monitor Upbit’s official support page — linked in the original announcement — for confirmed deposit and trading rule details ahead of the 19:30 KST opening.
