BIO Explodes 58% Following Upbit Listing - DeSci Tokens Launch Stunning Market Revival
DeSci tokens are staging one of the most dramatic comebacks in crypto history, with BIO leading the charge after its Upbit debut sent prices soaring 58% in a single trading session.
The Upbit Effect Strikes Again
When South Korea's largest exchange adds a token, markets listen. BIO's massive surge demonstrates the raw power of exchange listings in today's fragmented crypto landscape. The 58% pump isn't just a number—it's a statement about liquidity access and market psychology.
DeSci's Phoenix Moment
Decentralized science tokens, once written off as niche projects, are suddenly capturing institutional attention. The sector's revival speaks to growing recognition that blockchain could actually solve real-world research funding gaps—or at least that's what the speculators are betting on.
Market Mechanics in Motion
Traders flooded BIO markets as Upbit opened Korean won trading pairs, creating instant arbitrage opportunities and liquidity surges. The 58% move represents pure market momentum—the kind that separates early adopters from latecomers in crypto's relentless wealth transfer game.
Just another day in crypto where exchange listings create more millionaires than actual product development. The DeSci revolution might be real, but today's price action smells suspiciously like the same old speculative frenzy dressed in lab coats.
Upbit Listing Triggers BIO Rally
In the official notice, Upbit highlighted that BIO trading will start at 18:00 Korean Standard Time (KST). The altcoin will be available to trade against three pairs: the Korean Won (KRW), Bitcoin (BTC), and Tether (USDT).
“Deposits and withdrawals are supported only through the specified network (BIO-Ethereum). Always verify the network before depositing. The contract address for BIO supported on Upbit is 0xcb1592591996765ec0efc1f92599a19767ee5ffa,” Upbit added.
The exchange also noted that it will apply short-term trading restrictions. For the first five minutes after trading opens, traders will not be able to place buy orders, and sell orders priced more than 10% below the previous day’s closing value will be blocked.
During the first two hours, only limit orders will be accepted, while other types will be disabled. These temporary measures are meant to reduce volatility and ensure a fair, controlled start to BIO trading.
Notably, Upbit’s listing announcement caused BIO to surge from $0.086 to $0.136, a 58% value increase. The token shed some of its gains to settle at a press time value of $0.111, up over 30% since the announcement.
Furthermore, BIO’s daily trading volume topped $134 million, marking a 532% spike. The latest pump marks a strong rebound after BIO cooled off from its record rally in August.
Importantly, the rally wasn’t limited to BIO. Over the past 24 hours, the entire DeSci market has recorded a significant uptick. According to CoinGecko data, the market cap climbed to $820 million, representing an 11.5% appreciation.
“Everyone knows what an Upbit listing can do by now. But have you ever seen a single Upbit listing send an entire category? Just when you think DeSci is dead, BIO comes out and single-handedly runs it back,” Simon Dedic remarked.
Although the broader crypto market was also up, the DeSci sector’s gains still outpaced those seen in meme coins, privacy coins, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), DePIN projects, and other categories. DeSci tokens, such as VitaDAO (VITA), Curetopia (CURES), Pinealon (PNL), and more, all notched double-digit gains, highlighting a revival in momentum.
