- Stardust upgrade enables EVM smart contracts, DID tech; staking dashboard boosts transparency and rewards.
- ETHNews analysts tout IOTA’s quantum-resistant DAG, IoT utility as undervalued Layer 1; 89% community bullish.
IOTA is currently trading at $0.2013, showing a -3.56% decline in the past 24 hours and a more significant -13.22% drop over the past week, underperforming the broader crypto market.
Its current market cap is $761 million, based on a circulating supply of approximately 3.78 billion IOTA, and the 24-hour trading volume stands at $21.1 million, reflecting moderate market activity amid a bearish pullback.
Technically, IOTA is consolidating at the lower end of its recent range between $0.20 and $0.21, with critical support near $0.195. If this level fails to hold, downside risk could extend toward $0.18, while a breakout above $0.21 could initiate a move toward $0.23–$0.25. Momentum indicators are neutral to bearish, suggesting the need for volume-driven confirmation for either direction.
From a fundamental perspective, IOTA has made key ecosystem strides recently:
- The Stardust upgrade introduced a new denomination and ticker, converting MIOTA to IOTA, while laying the groundwork for smart contract support via IOTA EVM.
- A new advanced staking dashboard was launched to enhance staking transparency and rewards efficiency.
- IOTA is actively pushing into decentralized identity (DID), aiming to combat AI-generated disinformation using tamper-proof identity tech.
- Analysts and industry media are increasingly referring to IOTA as one of 2025’s most undervalued Layer 1 networks, due to its quantum-resistant DAG architecture and real-world utility in IoT applications.
Investor sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, with 89% of community votes on CoinGecko expressing bullishness on IOTA’s future.
