FOLD jumps after Bithumb KRW listing, but $120 million FDV faces an early unlock test
The Interfold’s token, FOLD, rose after South Korean exchange Bithumb announced a KRW trading pair on Aug. 28, briefly touching $0.10 and trading at $0.094 at the time of writing. That left the token with a circulating market capitalization of about $30.71 million and a fully diluted valuation near $120 million. The listing marked FOLD’s third major exchange debut in nine days, following launches on Upbit and Kraken after its Aug. 19 token generation event and the rollout of Network Alpha, the first production phase of its mainnet. The move also sharpened attention on who is setting the token’s price. Before Bithumb joined, Upbit’s KRW pair already accounted for roughly 55% of global volume, while two Uniswap v4 pools made up just over 30%. Earlier public price discovery through two Uniswap continuous clearing auctions had valued FOLD at roughly $0.023 and $0.0224, putting FDV near $27.6 million. Against a spot price near $0.096, those auction buyers were sitting on paper gains of about 4.2x to 4.3x. Supply remains a central issue. FOLD has a total supply of 1.2 billion, with 27.22% circulating at TGE. Linear unlocks for the foundation treasury, Gnosis Guild, airdrops, and team advisors are set to begin on Sept. 1, adding about 21.63 million tokens per month, or 6.6% of the current circulating supply.
