VeChain News: Technological Upgrades and Ecosystem Expansion
As a leading project in the enterprise-level blockchain track, VeChain (VET) has recently continued to consolidate its market position through a series of technological upgrades and ecological cooperation. In the second quarter of 2025, VeChain launched a number of initiatives around the three major directions of ‘interoperability’, ‘scalability’, and ‘user incentives’, demonstrating its core value in supply chain management and enterprise digital transformation.
StarGate staking plan and Renaissance upgrade
According to VeChain The official announcement of the foundation states that the StarGate staking plan will officially launch in July 2025, aiming to incentivize long-term holders to participate in network governance, reduce circulation, and increase token demand. The plan, combined with the previously released Renaissance upgrade, further optimizes the underlying architecture of the VeChainThor blockchain, including:
- Enhanced interoperability: support cross-chain asset and data interaction, providing flexibility for enterprise customers to collaborate across multiple chains;
- Improved trading efficiency: By improving the consensus mechanism, the TPS (transactions per second) has been increased to industry-leading levels, while reducing Gas fees;
- Privacy protection upgraded: Introducing zero-knowledge proof technology to meet enterprises’ encryption needs for sensitive business data.
As of the time of writing, mainstream exchanges including Gate have announced technical support for the VeChain network upgrade. This upgrade is seen as the pioneering step of the StarGate staking plan, laying the foundation for future ecosystem expansion.
Market Performance and On-Chain Data
Despite the recent increased volatility in the cryptocurrency market, VeChain has shown strong price resilience. As of May 27, 2025, VET price Stable near $0.027, rebounded 20.2% from the April low. On-chain data shows that the market value of VET is currently at $23.6 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $42 million. In addition, the number of daily active addresses has increased by 12% in the past week, reflecting a significant increase in network usage.
Analysts pointed out that VeChain’s current price has stabilized at a high-timeframe support level. If the StarGate staking plan proceeds as scheduled, VET is expected to break through the previous high resistance of $0.045. In addition, the 30-day correlation coefficient between VET and Bitcoin (BTC) is 0.82. If Bitcoin breaks through the $100,000 mark, VET may benefit from the overall market uptrend.
Enterprise cooperation and ecosystem applications
VeChain has made significant progress in supply chain management and cross-border trade recently:
- Central Asia Cross-border Payment Pilot: Cooperating with financial institutions in Central Asia, using a multi-chain wallet to solve cross-border transaction efficiency issues, and assisting Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan enterprises in achieving low-cost real-time settlement;
- Luxury goods traceability system: reached an agreement with European luxury brands to ensure full traceability of products from production to retail through blockchain technology;
- Medical Data Management: Collaborating with medical institutions to develop a decentralized medical record system, improving data security and cross-institutional collaboration efficiency.
These collaborations not only validate the practicality of VeChain’s technology but also attract more institutional investors’ attention. According to statistics, large VET transactions (over 1 million coins) have increased by 9% in the past week, indicating that ‘whale’ accounts are accelerating their positions.
Future Outlook
The VeChain team defines 2025 as the ‘ecosystem integration year’, with core goals including:
- Drive the StarGate staking plan: enhance community participation and network security through token economic model design;
- Expand DeFi application scenarios: develop decentralized exchanges and lending protocols to fill the current ecosystem’s shortcomings in the field of financial tools;
- Enhance regional cooperation: focus on layout in emerging markets, especially in Central Asia and Southeast Asia, to empower local digital transformation with blockchain technology.
In the long term, VeChain is committed to becoming the global standard for enterprise-level blockchain infrastructure. Its dual-token model (VET and VTHO) continuously optimizes resource allocation, while the PoA (Proof of Authority) consensus mechanism balances decentralization with compliance requirements, enabling possible large-scale commercial applications.
By 2025, VeChain will further consolidate its leading position in the enterprise blockchain field through technological upgrades, ecological expansion, and strategic cooperation. For investors, the launch of the StarGate staking plan and fundamental improvements may provide long-term value support for VET, while the technical resilience in market fluctuations indicates potential trading opportunities. In the coming months, VeChain’s developments are worth continuous attention.
