Upbit lists Venice Token (VVV) on Base network with KRW, BTC, USDT pairs amid mixed price reaction

Upbit, a major South Korean crypto exchange, listed Venice Token (VVV) on May 12 with trading pairs in Korean won (KRW), Bitcoin (BTC), and USDT, operating exclusively on the Base blockchain network. Despite the listing, VVV's price showed a mixed response, trading near $17.15 and down 2.9% over 24 hours, though it gained 84.1% over the past week. Venice Token is tied to Venice AI, a privacy-focused AI platform that uses VVV for private AI access, staking, and minting DIEM tokens. The listing provides VVV direct access to one of Asia's largest retail crypto markets, but users are cautioned to use the Base network for deposits and withdrawals to avoid transaction issues. This listing is part of a broader trend of new tokens gaining traction on Korean exchanges, which can boost trading volume and market activity, though price surges may be short-lived.
