On May 14, 2025, the WCT/USDT pair on Binance surged by 24% to reach a high of $0.6658 before falling 7% to $0.6007. The token showed strong upward momentum earlier in the session, but selling pressure appeared near the top, triggering a notable pullback.
WCT Token Price Spikes Before Reversal
The price action began with a steep rally that pushed WCT well above the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which currently stands at $0.4678. This moving average had acted as dynamic support during the recent uptrend that started around May 7. As the rally accelerated, WCT crossed $0.53 and continued climbing before hitting resistance just below $0.67.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum indicator, peaked at 68.98—close to the overbought threshold of 70. This signal suggests that the recent price surge may have stretched too far, too fast. When RSI approaches or crosses above 70, it often indicates that buyers are losing strength.
Meanwhile, the RSI has started to slope downward again, showing a potential momentum fade. This aligns with the intraday rejection near the local high and supports the idea of temporary cooling in the rally.
Despite the pullback, the trend remains bullish in the short term. WCT is still trading well above the 50-period EMA, and the higher lows pattern is intact. However, the rejection at $0.6658 and the RSI nearing overbought territory point to a possible consolidation or minor correction phase.
If WCT holds above the $0.53–$0.55 support range, the uptrend may resume. A close below this zone could signal the start of a deeper retracement. For now, bulls control the larger trend, but they need to defend support as selling pressure builds near the recent high.
WalletConnect Unlocks Token Transferability, Expanding WCT Utility
On April 15, 2025, WalletConnect enabled full transferability of its native token, WalletConnect Token (WCT), marking a significant milestone in its decentralization roadmap.
Previously, WCT was non-transferable, allowing holders to stake and participate in governance but not to trade or move tokens between wallets. This restriction aimed to stabilize the network during its early stages and prevent speculative volatility.
With transferability now active, WCT holders can freely transfer tokens across wallets and exchanges. This change broadens the token’s utility, supporting its roles in governance, staking, and network participation.
The transition to transferability followed community discussions and a governance vote, aligning with WalletConnect’s commitment to decentralized decision-making.
The WCT token serves multiple functions within the WalletConnect ecosystem:
-
Fees: Token holders can vote on introducing fees for network services.
-
Rewards: WCT is distributed to incentivize participation and enhance network security.
-
Staking: Participants can stake WCT to earn rewards and engage in governance.
-
Governance: Holders can vote on proposals, influencing the network’s development.
The initial supply of WCT is capped at 1 billion tokens, with allocations including 27% to the WalletConnect Foundation, 18.5% to airdrops, and 17.5% to rewards.
As WalletConnect continues to evolve, the activation of WCT transferability represents a key step toward a more decentralized and community-driven network.
