Published 8/4/2026, 9:46:50 PM
As of August 4, 2026, there is no evidence that $QUID has been listed or is scheduled for listing on Upbit or Bithumb. While Korean exchange listings historically trigger significant price appreciation, $QUID is currently traded primarily on Kraken and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on the Base network.
Current Market Status of $QUID
$QUID, the governance token for the Squid cross-chain protocol, recently completed its public sale on Kraken Launch. Despite the lack of Korean exchange support, the token has shown strong initial performance.

Potential Impact of a Korean Listing
Historical data from the current market environment (August 2026) suggests that a "Korean buying spree" is a statistically likely outcome if a listing were to occur. South Korea remains one of the largest crypto markets globally, with Q1 2026 trading volumes reaching approximately $69 billion [Source: https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/q1-2026-global-crypto-adoption-index].
Recent listing precedents from August 4, 2026, include:
- HOME (Defi App): Surged +40% immediately following its listing on Upbit (KRW/USDT pairs).
- META2: Increased +28.44% following its listing on Bithumb (KRW pair).
Security and On-Chain Indicators
The $QUID token contract on the Base network (0x1a44...cb53) has passed basic security checks. It is not a honeypot, features 0% buy/sell taxes, and currently has approximately 903 holders. However, liquidity on decentralized exchanges remains relatively thin at approximately $67,350 (QUID-USDC on Base), which could lead to high volatility if retail interest spikes.
Conclusion
While a listing on Upbit or Bithumb would likely spark a significant buying spree based on the 28%–40% gains seen in other tokens today, no such listing is currently confirmed. Investors should monitor official announcement channels from Upbit and Bithumb, as $QUID's current price of $0.1194 is already up significantly from its $0.045 sale price without the influence of the Korean retail market.
