When you are invested in any project one needs to be constantly checking making sure their investment remains on course to one day deliver some hefty returns. VeChain which is a crypto project started out in 2015 as a private consortium targetting supply chain management before becoming a public blockchain in 2018. The crypto tokens are VET and VTHO (gas token) and has continued to develop in the supply chain, traceability and sustainability categories.
Many in crypto have been under the assumption that the VeChain is a dead project and this could not be further from the truth. The problem in crypto is very few take the time to read up and do their own research and rely solely on social media influencers who push a certain narrative for self gain and why projects are often forgotten until they reappear.
What is obvious is one needs to do their own research and make up their own mind whether something is investable or not. I am not looking at charts looking to make a quick buck as I believe getting in when the price is right and accumulating offers far more rewards long term. When the investors are piling into a crypto project then it is already too late and one needs to be in there before it becomes too obvious. Looking at he new contracts graph this highlights that 2025 was a very good building year which the VeChain had over 24K contracts active not that long ago. The active contracts has been fluctuating between 8K and 14K of late so this is still very much an active blockchain. Development triggered all of this as at one point development was up by over 2400% and this is the result of what was created.
Nearly 14 million with the bulk of new accounts being added this year. The active account number has fluctuated between 10K and 90K and expect this number to explode in the first quarter next year.
Today which is just a normal average type day with no huge numbers being processed on the VeChain yet there have been 4604 active contracts today and 578K clauses from nearly 120K transactions. This is roughly 400 payments taking place every minute on the VeChain. More importantly these are not necessarily crypto to crypto transactions and are happening via businesses using the VeChain for real world uses.
Another important part about the VeChain is the gas token VTHO which VET produces roughly 36 million VTHO tokens daily. The average VTHO paid per transaction has remained constant, but the number of clauses which is multiple transactions per blockchain completed has risen. On average the VTHO burn has risen between 300 and 400% this year which is all down to the activity on the blockchain.
Real world adoption for crypto takes time and here we can see this happening every day and why the VeChain is very much alive. Next year in a few weeks time we have the Carbon emissions that needs to be reported for CBAM which is the EU carbon initiative along with an added tax that importers and exporters have to report on.
