- VeChain is drawing increased attention from analysts and traders as its ecosystem expands, with eyes set on the $0.20 mark.
- According to analyst Michaël, VeChain stands out due to a combination of bullish chart setups and ongoing ecosystem improvements.
VeChain’s native token, VET, is trading at $0.02,341, marking a 5.2% gain over the past week and a further 7% increase in the last 24 hours, despite a 6.2% loss over the past two weeks. The token’s market capitalization stands at $2.22 billion.
VET’s trading volume has surged 33% to reach $50 million, signaling renewed market interest. Meanwhile, data from Coinglass reveals that its open interest in derivatives has risen by 6.82% to $104.97 million. This indicates a growing number of active speculative and hedging positions on VET, even as spot trading remains comparatively lighter.
Analysts identify the $0.028–$0.033 range as the crucial short-term resistance for VeChain, noting that a breakout above this zone could open the door to a sustained bullish move to even reach $0.050. On the downside, strong accumulation continues to be observed in the low-$0.02 levels, which many traders view as a stable base providing solid support.
Crypto analyst and enthusiast Michael Van de Poppe recently highlighted VeChain’s evolving tokenomics as a key factor that could fuel the next major price surge. He explained that the adjustments underway are designed to make the system more balanced and, over time, potentially deflationary.
This is largely due to changes in the way the ecosystem’s gas token, VTHO, is distributed. Instead of being generated automatically, VTHO will now primarily be earned through staking and active participation within the network.
He said, “In that way, the community should continue to grow as there is lower inflation within the ecosystem. I think that this is still one to break out of the trend and have a positive return.”
VeChain Upgrades to Power Its Technical Backbone
In 2025, VeChain kicked off what it calls the Renaissance. The first milestone was the Galactica upgrade, which officially launched earlier this year. Galactica introduced a dynamic fee market (VIP-251), inspired by Ethereum’s EIP-1559. In practice, this means that transaction fees adjust automatically depending on network demand, and here’s the crucial part: 100% of those base fees are burned.
Alongside the new fee system, Galactica also delivered a package of developer-focused upgrades: improved EVM compatibility (VIP-242), support for typed transactions (VIP-252), better transparency for clauses in smart contracts, and new extension contract capabilities.
Crypto News Flash then reported on Hayabusa. This stage reshaped its tokenomics, staking model, and governance structure. One of the most important changes is the move away from Proof of Authority (PoA) to a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) system.
Instead of relying on a small group of authority nodes, VET holders will now be able to delegate their tokens to validators, who are then chosen to produce blocks. This makes the network more decentralized and gives everyday token holders a direct way to participate and earn from staking.
To support this, VeChain launched the StarGate platform on July 1. Through StarGate, users can stake their VET and receive NFT-based representations of their staked tokens, which act as collateral. Delegating these staked assets to validators becomes the core of the new staking model, making participation more accessible and transparent for the community.
VeChain’s third phase, often referred to as Interstellar or Intergalactic, focuses on scalability and broader usability. The goal is to make the blockchain faster, more flexible, and easier to build on. Planned features include JSON-RPC support and expanded EVM upgrades, which will provide developers with a smoother experience and improved compatibility with existing Ethereum-based tools.
