South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, has listed Avantis (AVNT), expanding access to trading of tokenized assets.
Launch of Avantis on Upbit
Upbit launched trading for Avantis (AVNT) on September 15, 2025, at 13:30 KST, earlier than initially scheduled. Markets in KRW, BTC, and USDT are now available on the Base network.
Trading Restrictions and Conditions
To limit volatility during the launch, Upbit imposed temporary restrictions. Buy orders were blocked for the first five minutes, and sell orders priced more than 10% below the prior closing were rejected. Only limit orders were allowed for the first two hours after listing.
Avantis' Goals for Blockchain Expansion
Built on the Base network, Avantis positions itself as a perpetual exchange. The protocol enables exposure to a broader range of markets, including gold, silver, oil, and major forex pairs. The AVNT token powers staking within the protocol and is expected to play a governance role in future upgrades.
By bringing tokenized assets on-chain, Avantis aims to enhance trading capabilities on the platform and attract institutional participants.
