EOS Crypto Positioned for a New Peak? Experts Forecast $1.6 Price Aim for May 2025

EOS is transforming into Vaulta with aspirations of establishing itself as a Web3 bank, integrating DeFi with traditional finance. This shift will occur without a network split. Following the coin swap, could EOSUSDT reach $.16?

The EOS cryptocurrency completed a year-long ICO that raised $4 billion; indeed, $4 billion, not just million.

During 2017 and 2018, many within the crypto asset community believed EOS was well-positioned to outpace ETH and was famously referred to as the “Ethereum killer.” However, the crypto winter of 2018 brought significant declines to asset prices, including the top cryptocurrencies to purchase.

Nonetheless, what really held back EOS was the complications associated with raising such a staggering amount and the absence of a clear path forward.

Brendan Blumer, the CEO of Block, faced accusations of deception and unfulfilled commitments. There were concerns about whether the funds were misappropriated or shifted towards other ventures like the decentralized social media protocol Voice and the trading protocol Bullish, which negatively impacted the initiative and its coin holders.

Block one, the company behind the EOS chain, is launching a blockchain-based rival to Twitter. Participants will earn tokens as rewards for their engagement, which will represent a share of the advertising revenue.

At its highest point, EOSUSDT traded for over $14. Now, it trades below $1, a mere shadow of its previous stature. Thanks to the community’s perseverance, EOS has managed to avoid being relegated to the list of high-profile projects deemed “dead.”

EOS Transitions to Vaulta, Token Swap Commences

That seems to belong to the past. There is optimism ahead.

EOS is undergoing a daring transformation, moving away from the EOS identity and rebranding to Vaulta. With this new strategy, Vaulta aspires to function as a Web3 bank, aiming to become a pivotal player in the institutional Decentralized finance arena.

This transformation is intentional. It will combine DeFi solutions with traditional financial frameworks and provide a range of services, including wealth management through partners such as exSat and Ceffu, a custodial service.

Moreover, their offerings will feature consumer payment options, allowing users to experience instantaneous and efficient settlements with affordable cryptocurrency transactions.

As detailed earlier by 99Bitcoins, Vaulta is also dedicated to offering portfolio investment opportunities, enabling clients to engage with real-world assets and attractive Decentralized finance investment products.

This initiative will be bolstered by the Vaulta Banking Advisory Council, which includes prominent figures from the crypto field such as Lawrence Truong, a former executive at Binance Canada, plus leaders from ATA Financial and Tetra Trust, who will guide this transition.

Before Vaulta launches, however, EOS holders are required to convert their tokens to A at a 1:1 ratio.

The swapping process started on May 14 via the Vaulta Swap Portal and will be accessible for four months.

$EOS transitions to $A on May 14.

The conversion is backed by several exchanges, including Binance. Subsequently, once crypto token holders trading protocol their EOS for A, it’s anticipated that exchanges will delist EOS.

To incentivize coin swapping, those who stake A are set to earn a significant yield of 13.8%, which surpasses the below-10% yields presented by renowned cryptocurrencies like Solana and ETH.

Could EOS Crypto Surge to $1.6?

Given Vaulta’s ambitions and separation from the EOS brand, while avoiding a fork, certain traders are bullish that A prices will increase soon.

Consequently, one user on X believes that EOS might rise to $1.6, surpassing the 2024 highs in a continuation pattern of buying trends.

Despite this optimistic perspective, EOS advocates are confronted with hurdles. Initially, the token needs to surpass the $1 psychological barrier.

If they succeed, there is a considerable chance of EOSUSDT rallying to $1.6, provided that trading volumes remain robust and other assets, including leading Solana meme coins, continue to achieve new highs.

A broader crypto market resurgence and a continuation of trends, mirroring the rally of Q4 2024, could hasten the ascent, assisting Vaulta in establishing its identity while reassuring EOS investors and supporters who trusted the EOS vision back in 2018.
