In short, Celestia’s TIA is struggling hard even with a spike in active users, ranking #2 among IBC chains. The market’s vibe is bearish AF, even its price tanked 12% this month and traders stacking short positions. Trading volume’s down nearly 50%, and with such bearish momentum rising, TIA could dip to $3.6 soon pretty quickly.
What Is Celestia, Exactly?
Simply, Celestia is a kind of blockchain that allows data sharing and collaboration amongst other blockchains. Because of its unique flexibility, developers can create their own blockchains on top of it, which helps clear out the hassles of starting from scratch. It enables users to recommend personalized blockchains for particular use cases. Additionally, it facilitates smooth data transfer and interoperability between blockchains through the use of the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.
TIA’s Current Condition
TIA is Celestia’s native token which is used for staking, securing the network, and paying for transaction fees. It also looks after governance, as holders can vote on protocol upgrades and changes.
The condition of Celestia seems to be rather bearish even with the surge in number of active users. Since last week, it has pulled about 62,650 active peeps and ranked 2nd among IBC blockchains for activity. Even with this positivity, nothing could help from TIA’s price sliding down the charts. Its market cap dropped 6.29% to $2.14B, and trading volume tanked nearly 49%. Open Interest dropped 7.33% to $238.65M, with shorts totally overpowering longs. Longs just got smoked with $941K liquidated, and analysts think the price could tank even more if this keeps up. The market’s just not feeling it right now.
