\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe lesser-known altcoin just posted a mind-blowing rally of over 300% at one point.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The largest cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea continues to list some smaller altcoins, which almost guarantees an immediate price uptick with double or even triple digits, such as today\u2019s example.<\/p>\n

Upbit announced hours ago that it plans to list Base (B3) in a trading pair against the Korean won, as cited by popular blockchain journalist Wu Blockchain.<\/p>\n

Upbit to List B3 Korean Won Trading Pair<\/p>\n

Upbit, South Korea\u2019s largest crypto exchange, will list the B3 Korean won trading pair, with trading set to begin at 13:45 local time on May 7. B3 is a layer-3 blockchain built on Base, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, and uses the OP\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/xCCrAC0TMl<\/a><\/p>\n

B3\u2019s price reacted immediately, skyrocketing by over 300% from bottom to top. It stood at around $0.0005 earlier today before the announcement went viral on social media, before it exploded to $0.0022. It has since retraced to $0.0016, but it\u2019s still up by 280% on a 24-hour scale.<\/p>\n

Base (B3) is a layer 3 blockchain settlement layer built on the Coinbase-related Base network. It\u2019s designed to improve on-chain gaming and consumer applications through its Open Gaming ecosystem.<\/p>\n

It focuses on providing sub-cent transaction fees and high throughput, which should be the cornerstone of making blockchain gaming more accessible and scalable.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, Upbit listings have almost always led to instant price pumps for the underlying assets, even for larger caps. In March, ICP rocketed<\/a> by 16% in minutes after the exchange listed it.<\/p>\n
