Adjusted launch and network guidance
Trading, initially scheduled for 14:00 KST, began earlier at 13:30 KST, with deposits enabled within two hours of the announcement. Withdrawals are supported exclusively on the Base network. Upbit warned users to verify network details before deposits, as transfers via unsupported chains will not be reflected and may face long return processes.
To limit volatility during the launch, Upbit imposed temporary restrictions. Buy orders were blocked for the first five minutes of trading. Sell orders priced more than 10% below the prior closing were rejected. For the first two hours after listing, only limit orders were allowed.
As of 11:10 KST on September 15, AVNT traded at 1,096 KRW ($0.7864), down from its previous close of 1,170.8 KRW, with a parallel quote of 0.0000068 BTC. Trading references are derived from CoinMarketCap to determine boundaries.
Avantis targets on-chain derivatives expansion
Built on the Base network, Avantis positions itself as a next-generation perpetual exchange. Unlike earlier RWA projects centered on tokenized Treasuries, Avantis enables exposure to a broader range of markets, including gold, silver, oil, and major forex pairs like USD and JPY.
The AVNT token powers staking within the protocol and is expected to play a governance role in future upgrades. By bridging commodities, currencies, and traditional assets directly into DeFi, Avantis aims to expand the scope of on-chain trading while appealing to institutional participants.
Meanwhile, Upbit is advancing its infrastructure strategy with the launch of Giwa, its in-house Ethereum Layer-2 network, now live on testnet. Announced at the Upbit D Conference 2025, the development signals the exchange’s ambition to grow beyond trading services and establish itself as a key Web3 infrastructure provider.
