Upbit will open trading support for PEAQ and LIT in its BTC and USDT markets on June 19, giving both assets direct access to one of South Korea’s most closely watched crypto exchanges.
The official Upbit notice sets the trading support start time for 15:00 KST, with both tokens scheduled for BTC and USDT pairs. The listing does not include a KRW market, which keeps the initial rollout focused on crypto-denominated liquidity rather than direct Korean won trading.
That still gives PEAQ and LIT a meaningful market catalyst. Upbit listings can redirect attention quickly because the exchange sits at the center of Korea’s retail trading flow, and even non-KRW pairs can bring new visibility, order-book depth and arbitrage activity around newly supported assets.
PEAQ is the native asset of peaq, a layer-1 network built for DePIN and machine-economy applications. The project focuses on connected devices, robots, sensors, vehicles and other real-world infrastructure that can transact, verify data and participate in blockchain-based incentive systems.
The Upbit listing gives PEAQ a stronger centralized-exchange route at a time when DePIN projects are trying to move from narrative-driven attention to measurable device activity. For traders, the key question is whether the listing creates durable liquidity or only a short-term price reaction around Korean exchange access.
CoinGecko tracked PEAQ with a market capitalization near $55 million before the Upbit trading window, leaving the token small enough for exchange-driven flows to matter. That size can make price action sharper when new liquidity opens, especially if BTC and USDT markets attract cross-exchange traders looking for spreads.
LIT is the token of Lighter, a zero-knowledge rollup exchange stack built on Ethereum. Lighter is designed around verifiable order matching and liquidations, using ZK proofs to make trading execution publicly checkable while targeting high throughput and low-cost markets.
Lighter has already drawn attention as a trading-infrastructure project rather than a simple spot token. CoinMarketCap tracked LIT near $1.60, with a market capitalization around $400 million and daily volume above $50 million before the Upbit rollout.
That makes the LIT listing different from a small-cap discovery event. Lighter already has a larger market profile, but Upbit support can still affect regional flow, market depth and short-term volatility, especially around the first hours of trading.
The PEAQ and LIT rollout lands in a market where Korean exchange listings continue to create fast liquidity events. IRYS moved sharply after Upbit added Korean won, BTC and USDT support, while HumidiFi’s WET rallied after Upbit and Bithumb announced trading support.
PEAQ and LIT do not receive the same direct KRW access in this notice, so the market setup is different. BTC and USDT pairs still matter, but the strongest Korean retail reactions often come when won liquidity opens directly.
The June 19 listing gives traders two very different narratives on the same exchange schedule: PEAQ as a DePIN and machine-economy asset, and LIT as a ZK trading-infrastructure token. The first market read will come from order-book depth, opening volatility and whether Upbit flow carries beyond the initial listing window.
