- The sudden rise mirrors broader listing announcements for several other cryptocurrencies.
The listing of Aethir (ATH) on South Korean exchanges Upbit and Bithumb significantly impacts its market position and price trajectory. Explore the latest developments and insights.
ATH Coin Debuts on South Korean Exchanges
Starting at 09:00 (KST), the Aethir (ATH) token became available for trading on two of South Korea’s largest exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb. The listings include trading pairs with both KRW and BTC, providing traders with flexible options. To ensure a smooth trading experience, both exchanges have waived withdrawal fees for the first 24 hours, after which standard fees will apply.
Measures to Control Volatility
Both exchanges implemented measures to mitigate volatility. Buy orders were temporarily suspended for the first five minutes of listing to manage price fluctuations. Additionally, sell orders placed at prices 10% below the previous day’s closing price were restricted to prevent significant drops. Compliance with South Korea’s stringent “Travel Rule” is mandatory, guaranteeing that only verified personal wallets are used for transactions. Notably, both exchanges highlighted that ATH investments should be made exclusively on the Ethereum network.
ATH Token’s Rapid Price Ascension
Following the listing announcements, ATH’s price briefly soared to $0.087 before retracting to $0.072. Historically, ATH has fluctuated between $0.057 and $0.087 since mid-June. Breaking through the $0.087 resistance could see ATH approach its all-time high of $0.146. Conversely, failure to breach this resistance may lead to a continued period of consolidation.
Leadership in the Decentralized GPU Sector
The primary driver of ATH’s market performance is its dominance in the decentralized GPU sector. According to crypto analyst Aylo, “Aethir currently leads the decentralized GPU sector. This is a highly competitive space, but Aethir’s performance metrics clearly position it as the most profitable decentralized GPU network.” Aethir’s July earnings report showcased a revenue of $36 million over the past year, coupled with a consistent monthly growth of 10%, attributed to the adoption of its Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) products by AI and gaming industries.
Additional Listings Enhance Market Activity
Other cryptocurrencies, including WAX (WAXP), Pixelverse (PIXFI), and Hivemapper (HONEY), also saw listings on different exchanges today. These listings span platforms like BitMart, Bitrue, and Coins.ph. The prominence of ATH’s entry into the South Korean market is particularly noteworthy, as it is expected to boost the token’s popularity and drive significant price increases.
Conclusion
The recent listings and subsequent market reactions underscore ATH’s strong position within the decentralized GPU sector and its potential for future growth. The stringent measures taken by the exchanges to control price volatility and ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks highlight the increasing maturity and robustness of the cryptocurrency market. Investors should stay tuned to further developments as ATH’s market dynamics continue to evolve.
