CT Jumps 31% as Upbit Announces New Trading Pairs
CT rose more than 31% in 15 minutes, briefly reaching 0.44 USDT before trading at 0.40 USDT, according to OKX market data at 15:45 (UTC+8) on 19 October 2026. The move followed news that Upbit will list CT trading pairs against the Korean won (KRW), BTC and USDT. The new listings may increase CT’s visibility and access to traders, though the sharp price move also raises the risk of short-term volatility.
Bullish
The immediate catalyst is Upbit’s planned CT listings against KRW, BTC and USDT. Access to additional pairs on a major exchange can broaden the pool of potential buyers and improve visibility, while the reported 31% 15-minute surge indicates a strong short-term reaction. Similar exchange-listing announcements have often triggered rapid rallies, but such moves can fade once initial demand is absorbed or early buyers take profits. Traders should therefore watch CT’s volume, liquidity and ability to hold above the reported 0.40 USDT level; thin liquidity and fast profit-taking could amplify reversals. The news is bullish for CT in the short term, but it does not by itself establish a lasting trend or imply a broader improvement in crypto-market stability.
