South Korea’s dominant crypto exchange just gave io.net’s IO token the one thing every altcoin wants: direct fiat access in one of the world’s most active trading markets. Upbit has listed IO on its KRW (Korean won) market, with the token running on the Solana blockchain.
This isn’t IO’s first appearance on Upbit. The exchange previously added IO trading on BTC and USDT pairs in May 2025. But a KRW listing removes the friction of converting won to a stablecoin or Bitcoin before buying in.
What io.net actually does
io.net operates as a decentralized GPU network, pooling computing power from independent providers into a shared marketplace for AI and machine learning developers who need it.
io.net claims its model can cut GPU computing expenses by up to 70% compared to centralized cloud providers like Amazon Web Services.
