Check if the textbox is changed, and if CTRL + V is being held down at the same time.

local chatbox = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Chat.Frame.ChatBarParentFrame.Frame.BoxFrame.Frame.ChatBar;

local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService');

chatbox.Changed:Connect(function()
    if (UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl) or UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.RightControl)) and (UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.V)) then
        print(chatbox.Text)
    end
end)

Yes, there is no method to detect a clipboard paste, unless you got the difference from the text in the box then the text in the box after a change and if it is more than 2 characters you can probably say its pasted. User#28313 0 — 4y
