Analysis: Why the Whales Are Likely to Join Before the End of This Month
The stakes are high this month, quite literally. Based on recent announcements, it’s highly plausible that whales will make their move before the end of the month. Here’s why:
1. $5M USD0 Bonus Distribution This Month
Unlike regular months, this January holds a unique opportunity. The USUAL team has confirmed that the $5M USD0 distribution will occur, regardless of whether the program begins partway through the month. This means that even if the 50% staking threshold is reached on, say, the 10th or 15th of January, stakers will still receive their portion of the $5M based on the program’s activation date and staking duration for the remainder of the month.
2. Current Staking Metrics
• Total USUALx Staked: 158,531,616 USUALx
• Equivalent USUAL Value: 188,230,105 USUAL
• Stake Holders: 6,869 holders
• APY: 223%
3. What Happens at 50% Staking?
If staking reaches 50% of the supply threshold, the Revenue Switch program will activate. For stakers, this means immediate access to:
• Bonus rewards in USD0, with a monthly cap of $5M distributed proportionally.
• Enhanced token value as the USUALx:USUAL ratio continues to rise.
4. Projected Price Impact
As the staking target approaches, market sentiment suggests increased demand for USUAL tokens to meet the threshold. This surge could lead to a noticeable price rally for USUAL. If whales enter the game, their large-scale staking would create significant scarcity, pushing the token price higher.
Key Question: Supply Type – Total or Circulating?
The 50% staking threshold likely refers to circulating supply rather than total supply. This is because circulating supply reflects the actively traded and available tokens in the market, making it a more practical benchmark for staking goals. Clarification from the USUAL team would confirm this assumption.
Final Thought: Why Wait?
Given the unique opportunity this month, every day counts. Staking now increases your share of the $5M USD0 bonus and positions you to benefit from a potential price surge. The market is watching closely, and it seems whales might act soon.
So, will you wait, or will you seize the moment?
