KuCoin’s $ART Tokenizing $10T in Luxury Assets with AI

KuCoin, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, will also introduce the world’s first listing of the native token of LiveArt, the $ART. The initiative also makes LiveArt a pioneer in the trends of tokenization in RWA, which combines the latest AI and blockchain technologies to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized markets.

Important Points: What You need to know about $ART

• Opening Date and Time: 9th of September, 2025, 12.00 UTC (5.30 PM IST).
• Supported networks: BASE-ERC20 (Ethernet Layer 2).
• First Trading Pair: $ART/USDT.
• Protocol Use Case: Asset tokenization of investment-grade real-world holdings valued at $10 trillion (art, watches, wine, cars).
• AI Integration: Machine learning models will help in the real-time valuation of assets and the prediction of market trends.
• Governance Characteristics: $ART staking will be able to vote on assets curation and protocol upgrades.

Market Context

Real-world asset tokenization has started to rapidly take off, and McKinsey estimates the market to be worth 16 billion by 2030. Offering a chance to own fractions of an artwork using digital tokens allows investors to enter the market at a lower cost and makes high-valued collectibles accessible to the masses, a previously exclusive preserve of the ultra-rich.

Also, the BASE-ERC20 network can be of great benefit:

• Reduced charges to the Ethereum mainnet.
• Throughput is high, thereby ensuring quick transactions.
• This strategic move is supported by the growing use of Layer 2 solutions.

Effects on DeFi and Traditional Markets

The AI-enabled solution to LiveArt will also address conventional problems of RWA markets, including the subjectivity of the valuation of assets and transparency. Their models take into account historical sales in auctions, market demand, and external economic variables to provide fair real-time prices.

Also, the integration of $ART into DeFi can create opportunities of yield farming, staking, and lending, where investors can receive passive income even when they own asset parts.

Investment Considerations/Risks.

As it also is common with new token launches, there may be an initial 20-50 percent price boom in the first hours because of hype and speculation, before corrections may occur. Potential risks however include:

• Regulatory Oversight: The current frameworks of RWA tokenization and AI usage may be changed, affecting usage.
• AI Accuracy: Real-time asset appraisal is based on reliable, dependable machine learning algorithms, and there are mispricing concerns.
• The investors are advised to proceed with care with considering the speculative nature that has been noted in the disclaimer of KuCoin.

Conclusion

The release of $ART token on KuCoin also is a large step into a 10 trillion market that had traditionally remained closed to regular people. Plus, LiveArt will unlock the liquidity of the fine art and collectibles (and other high-value asset) by bringing together the two technologies: AI and blockchain to provide new opportunities in the sphere of DeFi.
