South Korean crypto exchanges Bithumb and Upbit announced separate October 2, 2026 listings for AI-linked projects. Bithumb will add Talus, ticker US, to its Korean won market at 15:00 Korea Standard Time with a KRW37.85 reference price, while Upbit will add Dolphin, ticker POD, at 16:00 across its KRW, BTC and USDT markets. US transfers are supported only through Sui, and POD transfers only through Base. Both exchanges imposed initial purchase and order restrictions for newly listed assets. Talus provides infrastructure for verifiable AI-agent execution, while Dolphin distributes AI inference across unused GPUs. Market data showed sharp 24-hour gains for both tokens, but the direct effect of the Korean listings could not be isolated from broader trading activity.
