VeChain [VEN] Sees a Huge Fall as MainNet Goes Live and Token Swap Goes Underway

VeChain has been in free fall as the token is hovering close to its key support levels of USD 1.60 from a weekly high of USD 2.62 which it touched on July 29, a day before its MainNet went live.

The fall in prices started as the MainNet went live on July 30. The fall is also believed to be a markets price stabilization mechanism as the swap ratio would split the current VEN token to at VET and in the ratio of 1:100 ratio which means every 1  ERC20 VEN token holder will receive 100 VET tokens.

This was done due to the rate of adoption, Vechain recognized that VET would primarily be calculated using fractional in smart payments.

VeThor can change fortunes for VeChain in long-term

This fall in price would be short term but VeThor has the power to change fortunes for VeChain in long term. Vechain, going ahead would split into two coin system VET and VeThor, where VET is smart value in the new Vechain ecosystem while VTHO would the energy or cost of carrying on transactions. VeChain has also recently announced an update to their white paper which points towards a new token rewards system, through a new VeChain blockchain, also known as VeThor.
