- VeChain has prioritized environmental sustainability, tracking carbon emissions, and meeting regulatory demands.
- Analysts may describe VET as “undervalued” because its price may not yet accurately reflect the scale of real-world implementation.
BeLaunch, a decentralized launchpad, said in a recent X post: “VeChain is Layer 1 to enhance supply chain transparency, product reliability, and ESG tracking, and is used by BMW, PwC, Walmart China, Bayer, and even the United Nations.” The team went on to ask a question that has been echoed by many in the crypto community lately. “Is VeChain (VET) the most underrated real-world blockchain?”
VeChain has made significant progress since its launch, and its real-world use cases are expected to increase in value as blockchain regulation matures. However, VeChain’s market capitalization remains relatively modest compared to other top 50 crypto assets with low adoption and weak fundamentals.
Currently, VET is trading around $0.01747, roughly down. 3.74% Over the past week. However, its trading volume has increased twenty one% Approximately $39 million, with a market capitalization of $1.49 billion. Analysts note that a move toward $0.03875 could set the stage for a push toward $0.05, especially as adoption continues to grow.
Vechain Bullish Case
VeChain Renaissance, Vechain’s 2025 roadmap, is a multi-step protocol upgrade of the VeChainThor blockchain. Galactica is the foundation stage that introduced a dynamic fee market where transaction fees are automatically adjusted based on network demand, along with 100% base fee burnout.
This improves EVM compatibility by adopting features from Ethereum’s Shanghai Upgrade, allowing developers to more easily integrate their existing tools and decentralized applications (dApps) into the VeChainThor ecosystem.
The second phase of VeChain’s roadmap, known as Hayabusa, moves from a passive reward model where simply holding VET generates VTHO to a more active participation system involving stakers, validators, and delegators. This phase also introduced StarGate, a low-barrier staking platform that was officially launched on July 1st.
Through StarGate, users can stake VET and receive staked NFTs representing their commitment within the network, allowing for flexible participation and delegation. The Hayabusa mainnet launch is targeted for December 2025 and will prepare VeChain for its final phase, Intergaraku, which will focus on strengthening interoperability.
Apart from network upgrades, VeBetter transforms everyday actions into tokenized on-chain events. We currently have two flagship apps: Mugshot, which encourages users to reduce waste from disposable coffee cups, and GreenCart, which recognizes environmentally friendly and healthy shopping habits.
Another initiative developed in collaboration with the UFC, Build Your Body (BYB), a “work out and earn” fitness app, debuted during UFC 317 and reached millions of users. Additionally, the release of VeBetter Whitepaper 2.0 in September marked VeChain’s move towards integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen its ecosystem.
As mentioned in our previous report, its native token B3TR has also received regulatory recognition and has been officially listed on the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) Crypto Asset Register under the EU’s Crypto Asset Market Regulation (MiCAR) framework.
VeWorld was first released as a web wallet in early 2023 and has since evolved into an all-in-one wallet and entry point. VeChain recently published its latest update (v2.4.6), introducing improvements designed to improve the user experience. This update includes a complete redesign of balance and token cards to make them clearer, more consistent, and easier to use.
Thanks to these developments, a 2025 academic paper on blockchain-based ESG reporting in US financial markets praised VeChain’s Proof of Authority (PoA) model as a powerful real-world example of how blockchain can advance sustainability in the financial sector.
Additionally, a peer-reviewed study highlights VeChain’s role in strengthening the resilience of healthcare systems during the COVID-19 pandemic, recognizing it as one of the leading blockchain platforms that has had a meaningful impact on real-world applications.
