KERNEL jumped by over 30% after Upbit announced its listing and KernelDAO revealed a new Chainlink partnership and the Kred litepaper.

KERNEL, the native token of KernelDAO, surged more than 30% in the past 24 hours following a series of major catalysts: a new listing on Upbit, a partnership with Chainlink, and the reveal of the Kred litepaper.

According to CoinMarketCap, the trading volume soared nearly 700%, indicating a surge in demand for the restaking protocol, which boasts over $1.7 billion in total value locked (TVL). Currently trading at $0.2217, the cryptocurrency has a market cap of $62.5 million, down almost 50% from its all-time high of $0.46.

Upbit Listing Ignites Rally

The sharp price spike followed Upbit’s announcement that it would list KERNEL on its KRW market starting Oct. 28, 2025. The listing marks KERNEL’s debut on South Korea’s most active exchange.

Upbit confirmed that trading will launch on the Ethereum network at 16:30 KST, with initial trading limited to limit orders for stability. The exchange also issued detailed deposit and trading guidelines.

Kred Litepaper Unveiled

Last week, KernelDAO also released the litepaper for Kred, a major expansion of its protocol into the Real-World Asset (RWA) market. Kred introduced the “Internet of Credit,” an on-chain system for global lending and payments centered around KUSD, a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by real-world receivables.

The Kred system aims to offer up to 50% real yield through decentralized credit and payment infrastructure. Its design connects traditional finance with on-chain liquidity and is part of KernelDAO’s broader ecosystem, which includes products like Kelp, Gain, and Kernel Infra.

Chainlink (LINK) Partnership

KernelDAO also teamed up with Chainlink as the official oracle provider for Kred. The collaboration integrates Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), enabling KUSD and Kred assets to move natively across Ethereum and BNB Chain.

KernelDAO also adopted Chainlink Price Feeds for secure market pricing and Proof of Reserve for real-time collateral verification, greatly improving transparency and security for KUSD holders.

Subbd: Using AI to Transform Content Subscriptions

As KERNEL surges, a new name, Subbd, is also quietly attracting attention in the digital subscription world. The project aims to reinvent the $85 billion content market through a token-based platform powered by artificial intelligence, giving users more value and control.

Built on Web3 technology, Subbd provides creators with automated tools that make it easier to share and earn from their work. Meanwhile, fans gain access to personalized and exclusive experiences, creating a closer connection between them and their favorite creators.
