Dominik Schiener, IOTA co-founder, announced significant developments during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session. IOTA holders will soon be able to stake their tokens in the IOTA EVM, enhancing scalability and interoperability. The alpha version of IOTA 2.0, known as Coordicide, will also be released, improving network performance and user experience.
Despite some skepticism, the IOTA Foundation has applied its technology practically, such as facilitating cross-border trade documents in the East African Community. This has been supported by IOTA’s decentralized identification mechanism (DID).
Current Market Position
As of 10:30 AM (UTC), IOTA has experienced a slight 2% drop in price, trading at around $0.25. However, over the last seven days, it has regained 24% of its value following the recent AMA and developmental updates.
IOTA’s registration of a foundation in Abu Dhabi with $100 million in IOTA tokens signifies its growing influence in the Middle East. This aligns with Abu Dhabi’s aspiration to become a hub for blockchain and Web3 technologies.
As IOTA progresses with significant updates and global expansion, it is closely monitored by the crypto market. These developments indicate a potential revaluation of IOTA’s position in both blockchain technology and the future of decentralized networks worldwide.
