Highlights
- The VeChainThor blockchain has not one but two native cryptos -- VET, and VTHO
- The VET token has yet to attain a price of US$1, and this year so far, VET has lost value
- VET token’s price will be decided by the adoption of the VeChainThor network by developers
Amid a substantial drop in prices of major cryptos including Bitcoin, Ether and BNB over the past one week, the big question is, which crypto will explode in 2022?
The downward pressure on most cryptocurrencies seems to have stayed longer than anticipated. Bitcoin is trading well under US$40,000 as of writing, and the aggregate market cap of all cryptos has declined below US$1.7 trillion. Is there a crypto that may still explode this year amid such adverse sentiments?
Let’s look into VeChain’s VET token.
What is VeChain’s cryptocurrency project?
VeChainThor is the key product of this project. It uses the statement “real world economic problems” to position itself in a different league of blockchain technology.
It uses the proof-of-authority consensus for the validation of transactions. The network claims it would introduce changes to this consensus mechanism to stop any node from manipulating the validation process.
The network, unlike Ethereum that has a single native token (Ether), has two tokens to serve the functions of fee payment and validation.

VET crypto
VET is one of the two tokens of the VeChain project. The second token, VTHO, is generated by the holders of VET. While VTHO is used to pay the fee inside VeChainThor, VET is used for transaction validation.
VET crypto’s price
Similar to BTC and Ether, VET had lost value over the past 24 hours as of writing. With a market cap of over US$2.9 billion, the VET crypto ranks among the top 50 cryptocurrencies on the CoinMarketCap list. VET was trading at nearly US$0.045 as of writing.

VET crypto price prediction
The VET token has demonstrated volatility in the past. In mid-April last year, the price soared over US$0.25, but dropped to nearly US$0.05 by mid-August. In 2022 so far, VET crypto’s price has remained subdued.
That said, the price may rise if VeChainThor is used by traditional businesses to build blockchain-powered solutions. If the crypto world can pull off a comeback from the ongoing rout and VeChainThor finds more users for its network, the price may go to the US$0.25 level again by the end of 2022.

VET crypto’s price prediction by 2025
VET, if it can demonstrate its superiority over the other high market cap blockchain networks of Ethereum, Solana and Cardano, may be able to enter a double-digit price trajectory by 2025.
