$VTHO VeThor Token (VTHO) is the operational gas token of the VeChainThor blockchain. In its dual-token system, VTHO is used to pay for smart contract executions and transactions, while VET serves as the store of value and governance token.
As of February 12, 2026, VTHO is navigating a significant structural shift in its tokenomics following the "Renaissance" and "Hayabusa" upgrades.
Market Performance (February 2026 Update)
VTHO is currently behaving as a high-beta asset, suffering more than Bitcoin during the recent market-wide "de-risking."
Current Price: Approximately $0.00055 – $0.00061.
Volatility: The token has dropped roughly 19% in the last 7 days, tracking a broader altcoin sell-off.
Technical Health: The RSI is near 24, indicating VTHO is deeply oversold. While technical indicators suggest a "Strong Sell" trend, the price is currently testing a major multi-month support floor near $0.00051.
Fear & Greed: Sentiment is at 9/100 (Extreme Fear), reflecting the exit of speculative capital following Binance's decision to end flexible VTHO rewards in January 2026.
Strengths vs. Risks
Strengths
Scarcity Mechanism: With the 50% reduction in overall VTHO production (post-Hayabusa) and increased burns, VTHO is structurally set to appreciate if enterprise transaction volume returns to 2024 levels.
StarGate Staking: The new system has lowered the barrier to entry (10,000 VET minimum), which could lock up more supply.
High-Tier Utility: It remains one of the few tokens with a mandatory, non-speculative use case (businesses must buy it to use the blockchain).
Risks
Usage Gap: Despite technical upgrades, on-chain activity has been weak in early 2026. Without a surge in actual transaction "clauses," the deflationary mechanism isn't fully activated.
Low Liquidity: With a market cap of ~$57M, VTHO is susceptible to "whale" manipulation and extreme price swings compared to VET.
