- VeChain launched Mars GM NFTs on VeBetterDAO, offering increased governance rewards and ecosystem influence.
- VeChain’s MiCAR whitepaper submission was confirmed by ESMA, ensuring compliance with EU regulations.
VeChain has introduced Mars GM NFTs as the latest expansion within the VeBetterDAO ecosystem. This is a continuation of last month’s Venus GM NFT release, which was greeted by widespread adoption and higher rewards for stakeholders.
Members of the community can now get increased incentives, governance influence, and exclusive artwork with the release of the Mars tier. With Mars GM NFTs, there is a multiplier of 2.00x on governance rewards for holders to get more B3TR tokens after voting events.

Apart from this, holders of Mjolnir and ThunderX nodes can be upgraded to tier GM NFTs for free. It is possible for others to do this through a donation of 100,000 B3TR Treasury.
Specifically, all previous B3TR donations are cumulative, and every donation is credited toward future tier unlocks up to and including the exclusive Galaxy tier.
In the future, VeBetterDAO has planned future GM NFT releases. Next in line is Jupiter, which is released in April for a donation of 250,000 B3TR and includes free upgrades for Mjolnir and ThunderX node holders.
The subsequent tiers are Saturn in May (500,000 B3TR), Uranus in July (2,500,000 B3TR), Neptune in September (5,000,000 B3TR), and finally Galaxy tier in November (25,000,000 B3TR). Every tier has greater reward and prestige in the ecosystem and promotes long-term activity.
The planned release schedule ensures consistent progress and continued activity in the ecosystem. Every two months after May will see a new tier that reflects the increasing commitment that comes with higher tiers.
The strategy is designed to maintain a privileged status for faithful participants and to promote VeChain’s general vision of rewarding ecosystem engagement.
VeChain Gains Regulatory Approval in Europe
Along with this, VeChain made yet another major announcement. As we reported in our previous report, it achieved a milestone by submitting its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) whitepapers to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
The confirmation ensures VeChain’s native tokens, VET and VTHO, are EU-compliant for seamless operations across all 27 member states.

MiCAR aims to establish a single set of European Union-wide regulations for crypto assets that would replace different national regulations with a uniform framework.
By this registration, VeChain ensures that it is entirely operating under the new legal framework. Regulatory approval supports VeChain’s long-term vision through a compliant blockchain adoption ecosystem across various industries.
This is part of VeChain’s overall strategy that encompasses regulatory clarity, technological innovation, and a drive for sustainability. By obtaining compliance in advance, VeChain is positioning itself as a blockchain adoption pioneer in Europe.
Renaissance Upgrade in 2025 to Enhance Governance and Staking
In the future, VeChain is preparing for full deployment of MiCAR with compliance processes continuing until 2025 and 2026. July 2025’s Renaissance update brings in new models of staking mechanisms and governance to make it compatible with regulatory standards.
Besides compliance, VeChain is also focused on expanding its ecosystem. Staking NFTs, better tokenomics, and higher economic node levels are all part of the company’s commitment to rewarding engagement.
VeChain’s sustainable X-2-Earn initiative is backed by regulatory clarity too, with users rewarded with tokens for contributing to environmental causes.
However, having a robust regulatory system in place, VeChain is poised to drive blockchain adoption in the real world and offer long-term stability to the dynamic European cryptocurrency market.
