South Korea's two largest exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, opened CPOOL trading on October 22 at 4:30 p.m. KST. Their announcements specify KRW pairs, with Upbit also adding BTC and USDT markets, expanding settlement options at launch. The move expands Clearpool's distribution to incorporate a high-volume, regulated venue.

Clearpool also marked the time at X and adjusted its message to the exchanges' schedules. Public posts presented the event as a simultaneous listing on each platforms, helping to draw recent users without spreading attention across different dates. Timing clarity is vital for institutions coordinating custody and compliance windows.
Additionally, third-party trackers reinforced the market access aspect for Korean users. While comments focused on trading activity elsewhere, the core non-price update is simple: fiat inputs into KRW are energetic, and extra price pairs reduce friction in account funding and settlement.
What changes operationally in consequence of the Korean listings
KRW pairs bring domestic funding rails into Clearpool’s funnel. Local participants can now switch between won balances and CPOOL without first routing through offshore stablecoins, simplifying Treasury workflows and shortening settlement paths. This move reduces the operational burden on market makers and compliant funds.
At the identical time, several stocks on Upbit reduced shortages on individual pairs during peak activity. BTC and USDT books provide alternative liquidity routes when KRW depth decreases, which might stabilize onboarding in the primary few days of access. This is an infrastructure detail, not a protocol change.
PayFi vaults and Plume integration go into production
Clearpool's recent updates show a parallel path: constructing short-term, real-world credit rails. The team announced a strategic integration with Plume, an RWA-focused L1, to host PayFi Credit Vaults that route tokenized loans to verified borrowers. The first vault is structured with Cicada as a risk agent.
These vaults are aimed toward payment financing – closing settlement gaps in stablecoin flows – while maintaining on-chain oversight. Plume's RWA specialization provides issuers and lenders with a venue designed for compliant asset representation, which may be necessary when size and audits come into play.
Media reports highlighted that vaults on an RWA chain expand the distribution of tokenized loans. In practice, lenders receive a wider range of networks and tools, while borrowers interact with a unified underwriting framework. The Korean offerings due to this fact stand alongside a credit product that has already moved from planning to reality.

Risk Framework: Cicada and Prime for Institutional Flow
Clearpool's institutional stack is predicated on formal risk roles. The posts describe Cicada Partners' role in structuring and overseeing PayFi lending, managing loan pools, and standardizing disclosures for lenders. This model mirrors traditional credit committees but runs with on-chain records.
Prime, Clearpool's wholesale site, continues to serve whitelisted lenders and KYC borrowers via audited smart contracts. The documentation emphasizes that the loans are sent on to borrowers' wallets and will not be held by Clearpool, which is consistent with institutional asset control regulations.
Previous technical notes add context: the project was distributed across multiple networks and received ecosystem support for institutional lending. These milestones come ahead of today's listing and underscore that the protocol's focus stays on lending infrastructure moderately than secondary market activity.
Analyst publicizes recent phase of growth after Korean IPO

Analyst Sir Ismail (@Ismiles29) linked the technical outlook to current developments and initially referred to the quotes of Upbit and Bithumb. He called Korean entry a catalyst that would speed up participation if momentum stays above support. The post also noted Clearpool's ongoing buyback program and suggested that reduced circulating supply could tighten available liquidity similtaneously demand increases.
The analyst added that CPOOL is already up over 120% from its previous low, marking $0.115 as a key level to defend. In his view, the “next leg” scenario stays intact if this bottom is maintained, while a deeper rise would offer a greater accumulation zone before a continuation of the trend. Overall, the chart emphasizes structure and levels: support around $0.115, resistance around $0.15, and a better goal band at $0.30-$0.35 if buyers confirm the direction.
CPOOL double bottom watch after rebound from $0.10
The CPOOL/USD each day chart for October 22, 2025 shows the worth recovering from the $0.10 demand zone after months of sideways compression. The structure now outlines a possible double bottom, with $0.10 acting as a base and a horizontal neckline forming near $0.15. In this case, buyers are defending previous lows while in search of higher closes, indicating easing selling pressure.

However, confirmation still depends upon the extent. A decisive break and hold above ~$0.15 would confirm the double bottom and shift the market structure from distribution to accumulation. Until then, the range stays intact and failed attempts to achieve the neckline can push the worth back towards support. Therefore, risk control is concentrated on whether the $0.10 level will proceed to carry upon retesting.
Barring confirmation, the chart marks $0.25-0.30 as the subsequent resistance band where the previous supply ceiling recovers by 2025. If momentum builds above the neckline, liquidity could shift to this zone ahead of a significant decision. Conversely, a each day close below $0.10 would invalidate the pattern and reopen the worth to the downside. In short: watch the $0.15 breakout as a signal; Watch out for the $0.10 risk.
