Sentient (SENT) has emerged as the largest gainer among the top 300 cryptocurrencies today, recording a double-digit price increase and reaching a new all-time high.

The rally was driven by dual listings on Bithumb and Upbit, significantly expanding SENT’s market access and boosting liquidity.
Sentient (SENT) Hits Record High Following Dual Exchange Listings
Sentient is a protocol that seeks to create a decentralized artificial intelligence ecosystem. The protocol is focused on building the GRID, which it describes as the first open, community-built artificial general intelligence (AGI) network. Its core mission is to ensure AGI is open source and not controlled by any single entity.
The SENT token acts as a utility token for governance, staking, and fees and payments within the network. It began trading on January 22 and secured listings on major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, and more.
After experiencing post-listing volatility, the altcoin surged again on Thursday following listing announcements from South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, Bithumb and Upbit.
Both exchanges opened trading for SENT on January 29 at 5:30 PM Korean Standard Time (KST). Bithumb listed SENT on its Korean Won (KRW) market with a reference price of 42.07 KRW.
On Upbit, the token is available for trading against three pairs: KRW, Bitcoin (BTC), and Tether (USDT). As with all new listings, Upbit implemented temporary trading restrictions to mitigate volatility during the initial trading phase. Buy orders were restricted for the first five minutes after launch.

Furthermore, the exchange temporarily blocked sell orders priced more than 10% below the previous day’s closing price during the same time frame. In addition, Upbit only allowed limit orders during the first two hours of trading.
“Deposits and withdrawals are supported only on the specified network (SENT–Ethereum). Be sure to check the network before depositing. The contract address for SENT supported on Upbit is 0x56a3ba04e95d34268a19b2a4474dc979babdaf76. Please verify the contract address when depositing or withdrawing SENT,” the exchange noted.
The listings attracted significant market attention. Market data showed that the token’s value jumped to $0.038, marking a new all-time high. At press time, it was trading at $0.035, up over 50% since the listing announcements.
The token also secured the top spot as the largest gainer on CoinGecko. Trading activity accelerated alongside the price move, with 24-hour trading volume jumping to $299 million, up 192.40%, signaling strong investor engagement.
Exchange-level data shows Binance leading trading activity with 28.52% of SENT’s total volume, while Upbit accounted for 22.9%, according to CoinGecko.
While short-term momentum appears strong, broader historical data paints a more cautious picture. CryptoRank data shows that only 1 of the 87 tokens listed on Upbit in 2025 is currently trading in the green. On Bithumb, 107 out of 111 tokens listed last year remain in the red.
Nevertheless, this weakness is not specific to any exchange. Instead, broader market conditions have continued to weigh on crypto tokens, with similar drawdowns visible across major centralized exchanges.
