This rise was driven by the dual listing of Bithumb and Upbit, significantly expanding SENT’s market access and increasing liquidity.
Sentient (SENT) hits record high after dual exchange listing
Sentient is a protocol that aims to create a decentralized artificial intelligence ecosystem. This protocol is focused on building GRID, the first open, community-built artificial general intelligence (AGI) network. Its core mission is to ensure that AGI is open source and not controlled by a single entity.
The SENT token serves as a utility token for governance, staking, fees and payments within the network. It began trading on January 22nd and secured listing on major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, and Bybit.
Altcoins experienced post-listing volatility, but soared again on Thursday following listing announcements from leading South Korean crypto exchanges Bithumb and Upbit.
Both exchanges began trading SENT on January 29th at 5:30 pm Korean Standard Time (KST). Bithumb listed SENT on the Korean Won (KRW) market at an indicative price of 42.07 KRW.
On Upbit, this token can be traded against three pairs: KRW, Bitcoin (BTC), and Tether (USDT). As with all new listings, Upbit has introduced temporary trading restrictions to reduce volatility during the initial trading stage. Buy orders were restricted for the first five minutes after the stock went on sale.

Additionally, the exchange temporarily blocked sell orders at prices more than 10% below the previous day’s closing price for the same time frame. Additionally, Upbit only allowed limit orders for the first two hours of trading.
“Deposits and withdrawals are made via the specified network (SENT – “Be sure to verify the network before depositing. The contract address for SENT supported by Upbit is 0x56a3ba04e95d34268a19b2a4474dc979babdaf76. Please verify the contract address when making SENT deposits or withdrawals.”
This listing attracted significant market attention. According to market data, the value of the token jumped to $0.038, hitting an all-time high. At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.035, an increase of more than 50% since the listing was announced.
The token secured the top spot as the biggest gainer on CoinGecko. Trading activity accelerated along with price fluctuations, with 24-hour trading volume jumping 192.40% to $299 million, indicating strong investor engagement.
According to CoinGecko, exchange-level data shows that Binance leads trading activity with 28.52% of total trading volume on SENT, while Upbit accounts for 22.9%.
While near-term momentum appears strong, broader historical data paints a more cautious picture. According to CryptoRank data, of the 87 tokens listed on Upbit in 2025, only 1 token is currently trading in the green. On Bithumb, 107 of the 111 tokens listed last year remain in the red.
However, this weakness is not unique to any exchange. Rather, broader market conditions continue to weigh on crypto tokens, with major centralized exchanges also seeing similar drawdowns.
