The daily trading volume also jumped 629% to reach $37 million. South Korea’s second-largest crypto exchange accounted 25.45% of the total volume. Historically, Upbit listings have produced sharp short-term price reactions in newly listed altcoins. 

Meanwhile, the exchange revealed that XCN trading will start at 16:00 Korean Standard Time (KST). The altcoin will be available to trade against two pairs: the Korean Won (KRW) and Tether (USDT).

The exchange also noted that it will apply short-term trading restrictions. For the first five minutes after trading opens, traders will not be able to place buy orders, and sell orders priced more than 10% below the previous day’s closing value will be blocked.

Additionally, the exchange will permit only limit orders for approximately two hours after trading support begins. The temporary measures are meant to reduce volatility and ensure a fair, controlled start to XCN trading.
