Binance Adds BICO and CVC to Monitoring Tag as Upbit Lists Kaia (KAIA)
Binance will add Biconomy (BICO) and Civic (CVC) to its Monitoring Tag list on October 9, 2026, while South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit is scheduled to begin trading Kaia (KAIA) across three markets on the same day. The two exchange announcements concern separate developments: Binance's risk-monitoring classification for two tokens and Upbit's planned listing of a Layer 1 blockchain asset.
According to information reported by Wu Blockchain, Binance's Monitoring Tag designation applies to tokens considered to carry relatively higher volatility and risk. Assets placed on the list face closer scrutiny and may be delisted if they no longer meet the exchange's listing standards.
Binance Flags BICO and CVC for Monitoring
Biconomy (BICO) and Civic (CVC) are scheduled to receive the Monitoring Tag effective October 9, 2026. The designation signals that the exchange considers the assets to present a comparatively higher level of risk and volatility.
Binance's Monitoring Tag also carries potential listing implications. Tokens with the designation may face delisting if they fail to continue meeting the platform's listing standards. The classification does not, by itself, mean that either token has been delisted.
The announcement places BICO and CVC under the exchange's monitoring framework from the stated effective date. The information provided by Wu Blockchain does not specify additional reasons for the designations or indicate that Binance has announced a decision to remove either asset from its platform.
Upbit Schedules Kaia Trading in Three Markets
Separately, Upbit, described in the source as South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange, will list Kaia (KAIA) in its Korean won (KRW), Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT) markets. Trading is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. Korea Standard Time (KST) on October 9, 2026.
The listing will provide three trading pairs or market options for KAIA on the exchange: KRW, BTC and USDT. The announced start time is 6:30 p.m. KST on October 9, and the source does not provide a different opening time for any of the three markets.
Upbit's deposit and withdrawal support will be limited to the Kaia Network. Users transferring KAIA will therefore need to use the network specified by the exchange, rather than assuming that deposits or withdrawals through other networks are supported.
Kaia's Blockchain Background
Kaia is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible Layer 1 blockchain formed through the merger of Klaytn and Finschia. EVM compatibility means the network is designed to support compatibility with Ethereum's execution environment, while Layer 1 refers to the underlying blockchain network itself.
The planned Upbit listing and Binance's Monitoring Tag additions are separate exchange actions involving different assets. The key dates in the announcements are both October 9, 2026: Binance's Monitoring Tag designations for Biconomy (BICO) and Civic (CVC) become effective, while KAIA trading on Upbit is scheduled to open at 6:30 p.m. KST in KRW, BTC and USDT markets. Deposits and withdrawals for the Upbit listing will be supported only through the Kaia Network.
