VeChain Surges as Altcoins Soar: StarGate Staking and Revolut Partnership Fuel the Fire

Hold onto your hats, crypto fans! VeChain is rocketing to new heights as altcoins explode with the latest bullish catalysts. We're talking massive traction for their freshly launched StarGate staking feature and a huge boost from Revolut's Learn & Earn program. This baby is on fire!

On July 18, VeChain's VET token stormed into the top 100 gainers by market cap, skyrocketing double digits in the past week and a whopping 28% over the last month. Talk about a wild ride!

Breaking past the $0.022 barrier, VET's price soared above $0.029, hitting levels we haven't seen since May 2025 and slamming into a key resistance zone. Buckle up, folks!

Why is VET price up today?

Listen up, because VeChain's native token is on a tear, especially after dropping the StarGate staking platform on July 1. They're shelling out a cool $15 million in rewards to network participants over the next six months. Cha-ching!

With this news, VeChain's price is going bonkers. Their staking ecosystem is blowing up, with over 5 billion VET staked and earning VTHO. On-chain data shows the total value locked in the protocol has skyrocketed to over $140 million. And get this - the program has sucked in more than 144,200 new wallets, burning over 515,000 VTHO in the process. It's absolute madness!

Crypto guru Michael van de Poppe is calling it - VET is ready to break out, big time.

"$VET is holding strong support like a boss," he declared on X. "The valuation of #VeChain is the same as it was a year ago, but so much has changed. They just launched their Stargate Staking program, and it's going to pump the price. Why? The inflation rate on $VET is dropping like a rock, while more and more people are getting in on the action, creating scarcity."

The altcoin market is going nuts right now, with Ethereum (ETH) smashing past $3,600 and XRP (XRP) gunning for a new all-time high. And let's not forget the crypto bills passing in the U.S. - that's got buyers all riled up and ready to pounce.

Revolut adds VeChain to learn & earn program

But wait, there's more! VeChain's about to hit another level thanks to some hot new partnership news.

They're joining forces with Revolut to bring crypto rewards in VET to over 60 million customers on the Revolut network. How? By adding VeChain to Revolut's Crypto Learn & Earn program. This is going to put VeChain and their web3 vision in front of millions of users while rewarding them for getting smart about it.

"After eight years of building blockchain tech for the biggest brands in the world, VeChain's vision for mass adoption is finally happening. The Revolut partnership is a game-changer - bringing real-world blockchain straight to mainstream users through rewarded education," VeChain announced.

Get ready, because VeChain is about to take the crypto world by storm!
