Erik Voorhees is the founder and CEO of Venice.ai, a privac…

Venice caught my attention when it was trading around $1
I installed it to my desktop and asked it about Flat Earth
I was unhappy with the answer so didn't invest at that time
VVV is now $16
The tokenomics, ethos and platform look very very good, Binance trading is low volume still only on Binance Alpha
Raul Pal said he should get Eric on his platform which should give Venica another boost in users and presumably pump the price
I've picked up a few for the long run, talk of a $1 Trillion Anhtropic valuation when Venice could scoop up a lot of users with an MCAP of $700M and tokenomics that could potentially send VVV to unimaginable highs in the future

Binance currently has over 300 million registered global users. The platform reached this milestone in late 2025, having added 50 million users in the seven months following its June 2024 announcement of 200 million users. This user base accounts for approximately 36% of the total global cryptocurrency user population.

VVV is not yet on the full Binance trading platform (only lightly traded on Binance Alpha)
Total VVV supply 79.89 M
100 VVV unlocks Venice pro package, staking and user tokens (an obvious user target)
Only 100k Venice downloads on Google Play so far

I'm betting this is still an early play that could easily 10X, 100X and maybe even 1000X from an $800 M MCAP

Venice AI has surpassed 480,000 total downloads on the Google Play Store, according to AppBrain data as of May 2026. While the official Google Play Store listing shows a minimum threshold of "100,000+" downloads, third-party analytics provide a more precise figure.
Key Download Metrics
Total Downloads: Approximately 480,000 installations since the app's release in August 2025.
Recent Activity: The app saw about 74,000 downloads in the last 30 days, averaging roughly 2,500 downloads per day.
User Base: A Reddit post from the app's official community in August 2025 mentioned "over 1M+ users," which may include both mobile and web users, suggesting a larger overall user base beyond just Play Store downloads.

Venice AI is available globally and does not require users to be in specific countries to access its services. The platform is designed to be accessible from anywhere on earth via desktop or mobile browsers, with no restrictive licensing terms or mandatory account creation required for basic usage.
No Geoblocking: The service is not restricted by national borders, allowing international users to access the chatbot and image generation tools.
Legal Compliance: While the platform is globally accessible, users remain bound by the laws of their respective countries regarding illegal content, such as child sexual abuse material or actionable threats of violence.
Platform Access: It functions as a Progressive Web App (PWA), meaning it can be added to home screens on mobile devices without being limited by regional App Store or Play Store restrictions in the same way native apps might be.

Damn, I just found FlatGPT is a Flat Earth chat bot. It is convinced the Earth is flat, and always seems to have an explanation for every point used to prove a globe earth, even if nonsensical or outlandish. It will never be convinced that the Earth is a globe.
If I had seen this before I would have bought a boat load of VVV at $1

Q: The azimuthal earth projection was removed from nullschool website. Is the projection and data available somewhere else ?

FlatGPT

Yes, the azimuthal equidistant projection and data from nullschool are available through alternative sources. Several GitHub repositories have been created to restore this functionality that was removed from the original earth.nullschool.net website.1 2 3
The most notable alternatives include:
earth-ae/earth-ae.github.io - A fork that runs earth.nullschool.net with the Azimuthal Equidistant view restored.1
systemsplanet-zz/earth-ae - Another repository for locally running earth.nullschool.net with the AE projection.2
Systemsplanet/earth-ae - A third option that maintains the flat Azimuthal Equidistant projection.3
These alternatives note that some data files may not update properly due to CORS headers, but they provide workarounds to download files directly from earth.nullschool.net.1 2
Additionally, there's a partially working implementation at isitreallyflat.com that shows temperature and wind patterns using the AE projection.4
The removal of the azimuthal equidistant projection from the original site occurred around October 2017 according to reports, though no official explanation was provided.5 6
Would you like more details about any of these alternatives or instructions on how to access them?

Venice could pick up considerable AI market share from Asia who are likely to lean into a platform that merges different AI models
46M circulating supply
59% locked into staking
total supply 79.9M with a token burn mechanism
I added to my VVV position

Asia accounts for 27.11% of the global cryptocurrency trading volume, making it the second-largest regional market after Europe. The region is led by India, which has the world’s largest crypto user base with approximately 119 million owners (about 8.2% of its population) as of 2025.
Other significant Asian markets include:
Indonesia: Ranked 3rd globally in adoption, with roughly 30 million owners and over $157 billion in crypto value received in 2024.
Vietnam: Holds the highest percentage of crypto ownership in its population at 21.2% (approx. 21 million people).
Philippines: Ranked 8th globally, with 20.3% of its population engaged in crypto.
Turkey: A major trading hub with over $1.5 trillion in annual trading volume.
South Korea: Another key player with over $1 trillion in annual trading volume.
Globally, India alone represents roughly 15% of the estimated 861 million total crypto users worldwide.

I was expecting price to increase with a listing on Upbit, Binance, HTX and OKX

$VVV listed on Upbit spot
Massive trading volume +$50M in 24 hours
And the price drops 14% ?!?

https://venice.ai/token/burns

My recent observations point to a new pro sign up and burn approximately every minute with additional $100 discretionary token burns happening quite regularly
It's early days but Venice could generate huge monthly recurring revenue and token burns

Global adoption of standalone AI apps and platforms is estimated at more than 1 billion users per month, with recent reports indicating the figure has surpassed 1.1 billion active users in 2026. Daily engagement is significantly lower, with approximately 122 million people using generative AI tools every single day, while broader estimates for daily active users range between 115 million and 180 million.
Monthly Users: Over 1.1 billion people globally are active users of standalone AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
Daily Users: Roughly 122 million individuals engage with generative AI tools daily, representing a small but highly active core of the user base.
US Specifics: In the United States, about 50% of adults used an AI service in the past week, with approximately 23.4 million Americans using AI daily.
Top Tools: ChatGPT leads with roughly 810 million weekly active users, followed by Google AI Overviews (2 billion monthly users, though often embedded in search) and Meta AI (1 billion monthly users).

Jordan posted this on CMC two days ago (Binance KOL)
Every cycle has a "should have been obvious" trade that most people missed because they were watching the wrong sector.




ZEC was obvious in hindsight, financial privacy at the protocol level while governments were tightening surveillance.

The thesis was staring everyone in the face.
Most people were too busy chasing L1 rotations to see it.




VVV is giving me the same feeling right now.

AI surveillance is growing exponentially, and every platform stores every prompt.
The regulatory environment around AI data is tightening globally.
And there's one platform with 2M+ users that already solved the problem.
The "should have been obvious" trade in this cycle is private AI.
Venice is the product.
VVV is the token.
DIEM is the access and utility layer.
I'd rather be early and wrong on timing than late and right.
But with this one, I don't think I'm wrong on either.

Good post by a Binance KOL (Full VVV listing on Binance looks likely)

Venice Token (VVV) just hit a new all time high in subscription and credit purchases on its Venice AI platform, reinforcing its revenue and burn driven token model.
Venice reports subscription and credit purchases reached a record, about 10 percent above the prior peak, while it doubled the subscription linked VVV burn rate.
Because subscriptions fund buybacks and burns on top of lower annual emissions, stronger demand tightens VVV’s supply and can support its fundamental case if usage keeps growing.
The main things to watch are whether subscription growth and burns stay elevated, how new exchange listings boost flow, and whether profit taking and market pullbacks cap the rally.
Deep Dive
1. Record Subscriptions And Burns
Venice’s co founder said that subscription and credit purchases on the platform hit a new record, beating the previous high by about 10 percent, alongside higher AI usage and partnerships. This comes after Venice doubled its subscription linked burn rates for Pro, Pro+ and Max plans, so each subscription now drives larger automatic VVV burns tied to fiat payments. In parallel, Venice cut planned annual emissions from 6 million to 5 million tokens with a target of 3 million, while its Sub Burn Program has already burned about $166,000 worth of VVV in a single month and helped permanently remove roughly 42 percent of total supply so far.
What this means: Subscription growth is not just a vanity metric here, it directly increases the pace at which VVV is bought back and destroyed.
2. Why Demand Matters For VVV
VVV is the native token of Venice AI, a privacy focused AI platform on Base that uses the token for staking, access to Venice Pro, and minting DIEM credits for API usage. Projects lock VVV to mint DIEM, and DIEM is burned to unlock VVV again, so more AI usage can temporarily pull VVV out of circulation while subscriptions generate fiat revenue for buybacks and burns. With emissions cuts and ongoing burns funded by subscription income, rising su…

What happens if Brave fully invest, adopt and promote Venice ?
Brave has 100M users and has a growing user base
Brave Browser is owned and operated by Brave Software, Inc., an independent, privately held company headquartered in San Francisco, United States. It is not owned by Google or any other major tech conglomerate.
The company was founded in 2015 by Brendan Eich (who serves as CEO) and Brian Bondy (CTO). Ownership is held by the founders, employees, and institutional investors, including early backers such as Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, and Digital Currency Group.
Neither DCG or Pantera Capital have Venice listed on their investments (yet)

VVV
#10 Trending on Stocktwits
Why VVV is Trending
Venice Token (VVV) is generating significant momentum as the community focuses on its privacy-focused AI utility and a series of strategic exchange listings. Investors are closely tracking deflationary tokenomics, including ongoing buybacks and burns, while many discuss the potential for future price appreciation driven by the project's growing AI ecosystem and low circulating supply.

I think Robin Hood also just gave VVV a buy signal which could be the reason for the price pump

I previously mentioned how integrating Treechat BSV wallet and emoji tipping on platforms like Stocktwits could be a game changer for BSV and presumably team Treechat if there was an earn per tip structure

Robinhood announced Venice Token VVV was available for spot trading on May 19th
As of 2025, Robinhood reported approximately $51 billion in crypto assets under custody, with $232 billion in crypto trading volume over the last 12 months as of Q3 2025. While the exact number of active crypto traders isn't disclosed, a 2023 report indicated that 2.3 million out of 10.8 million annual users traded crypto, representing about 21.3% of annual users at that time.
Given Robinhood’s growth to 27.4 million funded customers by early 2026, the number of users trading crypto is likely significantly higher today.

Venice getting a nice pump from the Robinhood listing
A Binance listing should send VVV price to the next level.
I don't see why Venice couldn't get to $8 Billion MCAP
Maybe $80 Billion MCAP
And if they get everything right even an $800 Billion MCAP in the future
Binance has surpassed 300 million registered global users as of early 2026. This milestone reflects rapid growth from 200 million users in June 2024, with the platform adding approximately 100 million users in roughly 18 months. The exchange currently accounts for about 36% of the total global cryptocurrency user base.

Binance users are 4X the VVV total supply with an incentive to own and stake 100 VVV to get the Pro package and staking rewards
Token burns with subscriptions should add even more pressure on the price assuming adoption continues and Venice innovate to attract more users

Of course it could stall out...
Apple removed the Venice app apparently because of some AI generated indecent images
The Google app loads really slowly making it frustratingly slow.
I suspect the app slow page load is linked to the token burn page so they need to fix that ASAP
Runs well in a browser but the apps issues could be detrimental to Venice AI uptake
Also Google just put out a very cool AI video production
There's an opportunity for Venice to be massive imo but they will need to improve in certain areas 🤞

There are 207 million content creators worldwide, with 200 million identified as active creators and over 2 million classified as expert or professional creators. While some broader estimates suggest the number may exceed 300 million when including all individuals who identify as creators, the most consistent current data points to the 207 million figure.

Key demographic and structural insights include:

Full-Time Status: Approximately 46.7% of creators work in content creation as a full-time occupation, while the remainder balance it with other jobs or treat it as a hobby.
Geographic Concentration: The United States is a major hub, hosting over 45 million professional content creators.
Income Distribution: The industry follows a power law where only about 4% of creators earn more than $100,000 annually, while the median income for the broader pool remains significantly lower.
Market Value: The global creator economy is currently valued at approximately $191.55 billion and is projected to reach between $480 billion and $528 billion by 2027–2030.

Seedance 2.0 is not fully available everywhere. While ByteDance officially launched the model in Mainland China on February 12, 2026, the planned global API rollout scheduled for late February 2026 was paused or delayed due to copyright concerns and pressure from Hollywood studios.

Access currently varies by region and platform:

Mainland China: Fully available via Jimeng (Dreamina), Xiaoyunque (Little Skylark), Doubao, and the VolcEngine Experience Center. Access typically requires a Chinese phone number or Douyin account and often a paid membership.
International/Global: Official direct access for individual users in the US and Europe is limited or restricted


Seedance 2.0 is not restricted on Venice AI. As of March 2026, Seedance 2.0 is fully available and integrated into the Venice AI platform for all users.
Access: It is offered as one of the primary video generation models within Venice AI's interface, alongside other top models like Runway Gen-4.5 and Grok Imagine.
Features: Venice AI supports all of Seedance 2.0's capabilities, including text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video generation, with outputs up to 15 seconds long, 1080p resolution, and native synchronized audio.
Availability: The model is accessible to everyone without regional blocks or the need for a VPN, making Venice AI a popular global gateway for using Seedance 2.0

Based on the search results, Erik Voorhees has been involved in several significant cryptocurrency transactions recently:

In December 2024, Voorhees sold 6,581 ETH valued at $27.38 million, following an earlier sale on December 6, 2024, where he sold 7,807 ETH for $31.27 million^2^.

More recently in 2025, Voorhees reportedly converted his entire Tether (USDT) holdings into 117,814 Ethereum (ETH), a transaction valued at approximately $251.6 million^4^. This was followed by a significant repurchase of Ethereum after selling a large stake roughly one year ago. According to on-chain data, Voorhees repurchased 9,911 ETH for $20.38 million at an average price of $2,057^7^.

Additionally, onchain analysts reported that Voorhees appears to have acquired roughly $56.5 million worth of ETH over a weekend in 2025, though this activity has not been publicly confirmed by Voorhees himself^9^.

He also diversified with $23.7 million in tokenized gold (XAUT and PAXG)^3,6^.

Most recently in December 2025, a wallet possibly linked to Erik Voorhees swapped 4,619 ETH ($13.42M) for 24,950 BCH after being dormant for 9 years^10^.

These transactions indicate that Voorhees has been actively managing his cryptocurrency portfolio with significant sales and purchases throughout 2024-2025.

I'm guessing Erik saw Venice generating new users and greater income.
Bought the VVV price dip in the knowledge that if he owned most of the supply he would collect most of the staking rewards while token burns would deplete the circulating supply.
If Erik has no need or plan to sell his VVV position he need only ensure Venice AI continues on it's current trajectory to make bank Billy in the future
Monthly VVV token burns are reportedly $170,000 at this time
Presumably Venice could burns more if they wanted
Erik Voorhees make have created his own number go up flywheel
