Upbit, South Korea’s largest crypto exchange, has officially confirmed the listing of Aztec (AZTEC) with KRW, BTC, and USDT trading pairs beginning February 20, 2026. Bithumb also announced the AZTEC KRW market, instantly turning the project into one of the most discussed altcoins in the market. The immediate reaction saw AZTEC’s price surge nearly 80%, while trading volume climbed 157% to around $57 million; the market capitalization moved close to the $100 million psychological level.
Investors are weighing whether this move signals a sustainable bullish trend or a temporary hype. The 1-hour chart shows a long consolidation followed by an explosive breakout, a classic accumulation-to-expansion pattern. The price moved sideways between about $0.018 and $0.022 before surging to roughly $0.033–$0.035, signaling strong buying pressure. RSI spiked above 90 as MACD bullish crossover and an expanding histogram confirmed momentum.
If the price holds above $0.026–$0.028, the measured-move projection points toward $0.040–$0.048 in the next bullish leg. However, a move below $0.025 could see AZTEC fall back toward the $0.020–$0.022 range.
