OPG Lists on Upbit’s Korean Won Market on July 7 at 15:30 KST

Upbit will list OpenGradient’s OPG token against the Korean won today, with the pair going live at approximately 15:30 KST on July 7, 2026. The KRW market opens on the country’s largest exchange three weeks after the June 15 BTC and USDT debut. Trading hours for the KRW pair match Upbit’s standard domestic schedule.

The exchange confirmed the new market in Upbit’s official market-support notice for OPG, the same channel that announced the project’s BTC and USDT pair at 20:30 KST on June 15. Korean retail traders get direct won-denominated access to the token for the first time, without a USDT or BTC conversion step.

What the June 15 Listing Proved

OPG’s Upbit debut on the BTC and USDT markets was a stress test for Korean demand. Within 24 hours of trading opening at 20:30 KST on June 15, 2026, the token’s price action and order-book depth were both notable.

Volume told the louder story. Per CoinMarketCap’s coverage of the event, 24-hour trading volume spiked over 600% to $357.69M once the Upbit pair opened. The intraday range ran from $0.18 to $0.31. That is a wide band for a token that already trades on Binance, Coinbase, Bybit and HTX, and it pointed to genuine speculative appetite rather than orderly accumulation.

By July 7 the dust had settled. Bybit shows OPG at $0.128811, with a 24-hour low of $0.122485 and a 24-hour high of $0.13056. CoinGecko’s all-time-high tracker lists $0.4759 for the token and an all-time low of $0.1134, meaning today’s price sits about 49% below the peak.

Project fundamentals were also on display. OpenGradient the funding release detailing OpenGradient’s $9.5 million raise lists backing from a16z crypto, Coinbase Ventures, SV Angel and Foresight Ventures, with the company’s verifiable-AI compute layer as the commercial pitch.

What OpenGradient’s Network Actually Does

OpenGradient describes itself as a verifiable AI network. It does not run a standalone blockchain; it acts as a coprocessor that other chains and applications can call for AI inference and get a cryptographic proof back. The system combines GPU-based execution with two verification paths: zero-knowledge machine learning proofs and Trusted Execution Environment attestations.

Investors include a16z crypto and Coinbase Ventures, and the project sits inside NVIDIA’s Inception Program for AI startups. Co-founder Matthew Wang came from quantitative research at Two Sigma and engineering roles at Google and Facebook; CTO Adam Balogh previously led engineering on Palantir’s AI Platform.

Per the project’s own posts and aggregator coverage, OpenGradient has processed more than 2 million verifiable inferences, hosts more than 4,000 models on its decentralized model hub, and has generated above 500,000 zkML proofs and TEE attestations. The total funding raised stands at $9.5 million, and the native OPG token has a 1 billion maximum supply. Full distribution and vesting math are in the OpenGradient Foundation’s tokenomics breakdown.

The Float Carries the Real Weight

About 190 million OPG tokens trade today, against a 1 billion supply.

CoinGecko lists the circulating supply at 190 million and the fully diluted valuation at $170,811,906; the current market cap is $32,454,262. Crypto Briefing reported the same circulating figure at the June 15 listing.

The full allocation, as published by OpenGradient and reported by crypto.news, distributes the 1 billion tokens across ecosystem development, foundation, core contributors, investors and advisers, staking rewards, liquidity and launch, and airdrop. The ecosystem slice alone is 40% of the total supply. Only a portion of every non-airdrop, non-liquidity tranche unlocked at the April 21 TGE; the rest is on vesting schedules measured in years.

The implication for the KRW listing is mechanical, not editorial. A 600% volume surge against a 190 million float is the kind of move that looks spectacular on the way up and exposes thin liquidity just as quickly on the way down. Per the live price chart and circulating supply of OPG, the gap between circulating and fully diluted supply sits at roughly $138 million today.

OPG Token Allocation

Why a Korean Won Pair Cuts the Friction

OPG runs on Coinbase’s Base L2 network. Upbit’s June 15 listing supported deposits and withdrawals exclusively via Base.

That has been a friction point for Korean traders. Until now, moving OPG into or out of Upbit required a LayerZero bridging step from Base, adding time and a small technical barrier to every position change. The KRW pair does not change the network, but it changes the onramp: domestic users can fund trades directly in won.

KuCoin’s coverage of the original listing noted that Upbit’s domestic retail base amplifies token narratives, and that AI-themed listings have drawn particular attention this year. The June 15 volume spike confirmed the pattern. A direct KRW pair tends to deepen that effect: Korean exchanges historically see sharper volume and more retail-driven price action when a project gets a won pair, not just a USDT one. Whether the volume sustains past the first 24 hours is a separate question; previous AI-token Upbit debuts have shown rapid mean reversion once the initial surge cools.

What the Unlock Calendar Looks Like

OpenGradient has been running monthly token unlocks since TGE. Per RootData, as carried by Binance Square, the project has been releasing 9.13 million OPG per month, with allocations worth $1.5M in May and $2.1M in June, each roughly 4.8% of the circulating supply at the time of the unlock. The full vesting math, drawn from the OpenGradient Foundation’s tokenomics page and reported by crypto.news, has foundation tokens vesting over 48 months (33.33% at TGE), core contributors and investors carrying a 12-month cliff followed by 36-month linear vesting, and ecosystem tokens unlocking 10% at TGE with the remainder linear over 60 months. The liquidity and airdrop tranches unlocked fully at TGE. The token itself went live in OpenGradient’s launch announcement on April 21, when OPG became tradable on Binance and PancakeSwap after the joint TGE.
