# AIOZ-USD: Research Summary as of 2026-08-13

## Recent Catalysts (Last ~1–3 Months)

**Upbit Listing (August 10, 2026):** The most significant near-term catalyst was the listing of AIOZ on Upbit, one of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. On the day of the listing, AIOZ gained approximately 13%, reflecting the immediate liquidity and visibility boost from accessing the South Korean market [[1]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/aioz-network/latest-updates/)[[2]](https://coinmarketcap.com/cmc-ai/aioz-network/latest-updates/). Exchange listings on major platforms like Upbit are commonly associated with short-term price appreciation due to expanded investor access.

**AIOZ AI V2 Launch (June 2026):** June marked a notable milestone as AIOZ AI evolved to V2, accompanied by progress in AI research, model availability, and platform enhancements. The update expanded capabilities for builders, researchers, and developers within the AIOZ AI ecosystem [[4]](https://aioz.network/blog/aioz-network-report-june-2026). This positions AIOZ as attempting to straddle both DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) and AI narratives.
