Aerodrome Suspends Two Over Alleged VVV Insider TradingDeFi protocol @AerodromeFi suspended two contributors over their alleged insider trading of Venice AI’s $VVV token at its launch.Venice AI is a privacy-focused artificial intelligence project created by crypto entrepreneur Erik Voorhees.“The timing of a small percentage of the trading activity around the VVV launch was flagged by internal monitoring in less than 30 minutes — triggering an internal investigation,” the Aerodrome team said on X.Two contributors identified as a result of that investigation were suspended within three hours of VVV’s launch, Aerodrome said.The VVV token amassed a fully diluted value of $1.65 billion a little over two hours after launching.“Really appreciate Aerodrome's transparency on this,” @ErikVoorhees said. “They reached out and let us know when they found out. Been great to work with them.”

Venice AI Token Hits $1.6B FDV on Launch DayVenice AI’s native token, VVV, had a big first day of trade, with its fully diluted value (FDV) crossing $1 billion within two hours of the token’s launch on Ethereum layer 2 Base.At the time of writing, VVV had an FDV of $1.6 billion, according to data from DEX Screener.Venice AI's platform, founded by longtime Bitcoin advocate @ErikVoorhees, allows users — particularly AI agents and developers — to access the Chinese DeepSeek R1 artificial intelligence model.DeepSeek’s rise to the top position in Apple’s App Store on Monday triggered a massive rout in AI-focused U.S. tech stocks.Voorhees said that when DeepSeek is accessed through the Venice AI interface, no personal data is sent to the Chinese government, which appears not to be the case when users access DeepSeek directly.Half of the total supply of 100 million VVV tokens was distributed through Monday’s airdrop, with 25% allocated to AI protocol accounts on Base and another 25% going to more than 100,000 early users of the Venice platform.
