- Centrifuge price exploded by more than 180% to hit highs of $0.25.
- The sharp rise followed as news of $CFG trading going live on Upbit.
- Profit-taking threatens to wipe out all the intraday gains as the price hovers near $0.16.
Centrifuge ($CFG) has surged dramatically in the past 24 hours, posting gains of over 180% amid excitement over its listing on South Korea’s largest crypto exchange, Upbit.
Notably, the rally aligns with broader market gains, as Bitcoin climbed about 7% to near $70,000 before settling around $68k as of writing.
Several top altcoins also posted positive moves, including Ethereum’s uptick to above $2,000 despite continued selling by co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
On-chain data shows whale accumulation is picking up and could surge as price breaks above the $2k level.
$CFG is up amid this potential market bounce, with the Upbit listing a major catalyst.
However, the overall crypto market sentiment remains cautious, and profit-taking could see a sharp pullback for several altcoins.
Centrifuge price rockets on Upbit listing news
Upbit, South Korea’s leading crypto exchange, announced that trading support for $CFG would go live on February 26, 2026, at 2 PM KST.
The exchange added spot pairs against KRW, BTC, and USDT, and revealed that deposits and withdrawals would be available shortly after the announcement.
Upbit boasts a massive user base and liquidity, and these factors have historically seen listed tokens pump hard.
$CFG’s price rose sharply amid the potential flip in visibility and adoption.
The token’s value jumped from around $0.08 to over $0.25, with trading volume spiking over 4,000% to $79 million.
With assets like Polkadot, NEAR, and Uniswap trending among the top 10 gainers, it’s Centrifuge’s vertical jump that stood out.
$CFG market cap ballooned past $120 million before slipping lower as prices retreated from the intraday highs.
Centrifuge price forecast
Centrifuge is a crypto project focused on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), a market that’s attracting huge attention.
The $CFG token powers governance on the platform, allowing holders to participate in protocol decisions.
Despite market potential, its price has largely followed the bearish trend across crypto.
A short-term upside tied to Upbit’s liquidity influx helped bulls revisit prices last seen in October 2025.
If Korean inflows persist, buyers could test higher resistances around $0.30 and move to $0.40.
However, broader profit deals have already seen $CFG pull back, currently trading near $0.16.
The MACD suggests bullish sentiment, but an extended RSI signals overbought risks.
If prices fall below the 50-day and 100-day simple moving average lines, the nosedive could accelerate to $0.10 or lower.
