VeChain Foundation’s treasury assets in Q3 include $48.8 million of stablecoins and $348.6 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and VeChain’s native token VET. Notably, the total balance is down 26 percent from the second quarter total of $535 million.
The foundation attributes the decline to the slowdown in the cross-crypto market in 2022. It noted that the year was difficult for the global economy. However, it remains bullish as it sees signs of headwinds starting to ease in 2023.
The report estimates that 2023 will see further regulatory clarity unfold, particularly in Europe. This is expected to trigger a new phase for blockchain technology at large, and position VechainThor as a leading platform.
“In 2023, further regulatory clarity will unfold, especially in Europe, triggering a wave of adoption and ushering in an exciting new phase for the blockchain at large… We are confident that the VeChainThor blockchain will become a leading platform over the next the years when adoption begins to accelerate exponentially,” the report says.
Is VeChain already the blockchain of the digital-sustainable revolution?
The financial report is the first major news release from the VeChain Foundation since it announced the completion of VeChainThor’s upgrade to POA2.0. Nov. The 2022 event was a protocol-level upgrade that introduced finality as well as additional security mechanisms to VeChainThor.
At the time, the VeChain Foundation noted that the upgrade will enable VeChain to help organizations recognize and take action to address the looming global sustainability crisis.
The upgrade made VechainThor the most robust, scalable and secure public blockchain in the industry. According to the foundation, the network now meets the strictest regulatory data protection standards. And has also become the platform on which the digital-sustainable revolution can be built.
Meanwhile, firms have recognized the potential of VeChain. The number of VeChain partners has grown over the years. Per VeChain’s performance data, it currently has over 300 enterprise partners and more than 3,000 enterprise users. VeChain has also processed over 100 billion transactions and hosts more than 5,000 stock keeping units (SKUs).
The price of VET is already responding to growing optimism in the VeChain ecosystem. The token is up 12.4 percent since the start of 2023. At press time, the token is trading at around $0.0175, down 1.65 percent in the last 24 hours.
