Volume: There has been significant growth in trading volume (over 1.67 billion) during the price surge, but volume has decreased as the price consolidated.
2. Fundamental Drivers of Price Increase
The recent surge has been primarily driven by a significant shift in VeChain's economic model:
Falcon Mainnet Launch: On December 2, 2025, VeChain transitioned to a staking-only VTHO generation model. This ended passive rewards for idle holders and linked VTHO supply more closely to network activity.
Binance Policy Change: Binance recently announced that it will stop issuing VTHO rewards for VET flexible products starting January 1, 2026. This led to a strategic shift, with users moving VET to locked products or engaging in on-chain staking, tightening the immediate liquidity supply of VTHO.
Inflationary Pressure: The transition period for these changes recently concluded (around December 9), causing a "supply squeeze" that is now reflected in the price.
