Fact Check
PANews explicitly cites Upbit's official announcement that IO will trade against KRW starting 18:30 local time on May 29, 2026. Wu Blockchain and BlockBeats independently corroborate. Upbit's own prior notice (id=5100, May 2025) confirmed IO was only on BTC/USDT markets, so a new KRW pair addition is consistent. While the original Upbit notice URL for this specific KRW listing was not directly fetched, three independent crypto media outlets reporting the same details (date, market, exchange) with one explicitly referencing an official announcement provides high confidence.
Summary
Upbit said it will list the IO/KRW trading pair on May 29. The announcement means IO will become available for trading against the South Korean won on one of South Korea’s largest digital asset exchanges, and the new input adds that the listing includes Solana support.
