VeChain (VET) Skyrockets 45%: What’s Driving It?
2024-11-23

VeChain (VET) has been on a tear lately, surging over 45% in the last 24 hours.
VeChain, a Layer-1 blockchain that allows developers to create real-world/enterprise dApps, seems to be profiting from the overall bullish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.
With Bitcoin nearing $100,000, profits continue redistributing to altcoins, which are presently soaring.
VeChain has shot up in price, too: it is now trading for over $0.043 after a 45% jump in price today.
Aside from the current positive sentiment in the market, ongoing developments, including updates to its blockchain technology, enhanced security features, and expanding use cases appear to have boosted VET's recent price increase.
According to information obtained from the VeChain official X handle, VeChain is expecting updates including a new VET road map, ambassador scheme, changes to protocol — tokenomics, a new stablecoin with USDC bridge, VeUSD swap for GloUSD, an incoming marketing agency, among many others.
VeChain continues to capitalize on its growing adoption and partnerships; most recently, it announced its membership in the European Blockchain Association, indicating a drive to boost adoption in Europe.
