ZUG, Switzerland, Jan. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Web3 travel ecosystem Camino Network has announced the listing of its native token, $CAM, on two leading centralized exchanges: MEXC and Gate.io. As the travel-specific L1, Camino Network brings TravelFi, RWA tokenization, and NFT ticketing to the $11tn travel industry. $CAM already powers an ecosystem of over 200 brands, including major tour operators, airlines, car rental companies, and tech giants before its launch.

CAM was listed by MEXC exchange on January 17th, where it has been paired with USDT. This has been accompanied by a listing on Gate.io, where CAM went live on the same day with USDT as its base trading pair.

The listing of CAM on tier-one exchanges by MEXC and Gate.io will expand access to CAM and to Camino Network and deepen the token’s liquidity. In the process it will raise awareness of the rapid progress Camino is making in its goal to transform the travel industry using web3 technology.

The exchange listings follow on from seed and pre-sale Swiss rounds that raised a total of $10M to build out Camino Network’s infrastructure. With its mainnet now live and more than 100 travel industry validators and 200 businesses active, the stage is set for the next phase of Camino’s global growth, powered by the CAM token.

Thomas Stirnimann, Council President of the Camino Network Foundation, said: "With validators and partners on nearly every continent before launch, Camino Network stands apart from other projects. Our next step is clear: driving continued growth to connect all travel on-chain."

A general purpose utility token with a 1B fixed supply, CAM performs a number of roles on Camino Network. It’s integrated into Camino Messenger, the first global decentralized booking protocol for the travel industry that enables players like Lufthansa Group to share up-to-date flight schedules, seat availability, and prices directly with travel agencies and booking platforms in real time.

Within the growing Camino ecosystem, CAM is used to facilitate transactions. Furthermore, CAM is essential for executing on-chain travel operations and a requirement for participating in decision-making processes. Validators can earn CAM rewards for helping to secure the network. Travelers, meanwhile, can gain access to exclusive offers and discounts from holiday providers including airlines and hotels by holding CAM tokens.
