Celestia Ecosystem Starts to Deteriorate: TIA Price Forecast as Astria Platform Closes Down
The cryptocurrency crypto market may have added $160 billion to its crypto market capitalization overnight as Bitcoin climbed back above $92,000. However, ominous signs are emerging for Celestia (TIA) as a crucial platform operating on its protocol was discontinued following an $18 million fundraising round in 2024. Current TIA price forecasts are popular pessimistic after the announcement, despite the coin having risen by over 10% in the last 24 hours.
Astria was initiated in 2023 following a $5.5 million seed round spearheaded by Maven 11, succeeded by a $12.5 million strategic fundraising effort in 2024 led by DBA and Placeholder VC. The closure of the Astria network has come as a shock, especially considering the mainnet was only launched a little over a year ago.
Is the Astria Shutdown a Catastrophe for Celestia? Two Years of ‘Down Only’ Just Became Even More Dire for TIA
The unexpected shutdown of such a significant platform on an already failing platform casts a negative light on Celestia and suggests a stagnation for the previously promising blockchain. The cessation of the Astria protocol could symbolize the final blow for TIA, following a two-year stretch of exceptionally poor price performance.
TIA has plummeted by 97% from its peak of $20.85, reached a mere three months after its February 2024 launch. It has been a steady decline since, as a lack of innovation and widespread adoption of Celestia has seen the token tumble from its launch price of $2.30 to its current value of $0.62.
At those heights in early 2024, Celestia was among the top 60 cryptocurrencies by trading market cap, boasting a valuation exceeding $3 billion. However, detrimental tokenomics, particularly excessive coin emissions, led the crypto market cap to rise to more than $4 billion by December 2024, yet the TIA token price continued its downward spiral.
The Astria platform has been intentionally halted, block number 15,360,577 is the last block.

Currently, the market cap of Celestia stands at just over $520 million, making it the 150th largest cryptocurrency in the crypto market, a significant decline following its rapid emergence in 2023 as one of the most anticipated projects in recent times.

Analysts Provide TIA Price Forecast for December: $0.5 Next?
Analyzing a 4-hour timeframe, the price movement indicates a possible optimistic retracement after a substantial market fluidity sweep below the recent swing low, although the longer-term trend remains pessimistic.
TIA may gain from an overall market improvement, as Bitcoin has surged back above $92,000, pulling the rest of the market along. Nevertheless, it encounters immediate price ceiling nearby at $0.65, with reasonable price floor established just under $0.60.
Should TIA manage to close the day above that $0.60 price floor level, it could trigger a short-term rally toward price ceiling levels at $0.68 and $0.72. Conversely, failure to uphold base level may initiate renewed pessimistic momentum, possibly driving prices down to $0.50 and even lower, which is a very real concern.
Crypto Twitter investor @MarkTheApe99 has raised alarms regarding a sustained TIA price upswing, referencing the asset’s poor showing over the last two years as a reason to be cautious about purchasing Celestia at this moment.
He stated, “Observe the weekly chart. Each rebound is followed by sell-offs. No higher highs. No trend reversal. Every significant level has been lost. Price has descended from 20, 8, 4, 2, to 0.5. Current technical base level sits at $0.46, and that’s merely technical, lacking fundamentals. This is what people refer to as “DCA,” but it’s essentially just paying for a stagnant trend. The most amusing part? Influencers touted this as “the next SOL” while the chart was signaling a prolonged decline. The reality: DCA is effective on assets with actual demand, not on weekly charts resembling ski slopes.”
It’s a severe indictment of Celestia; after losing a prime platform like Astria and enduring 24 months of selling pressure along with bearish price trends, it’s difficult to contest this bleak TIA price forecast.
