Deep Dive
1. Ecosystem Partnerships (Bullish Impact)
Overview: ThunderCore’s recent integration with World Liberty Finance ($WLFI) enables TT holders to stake tokens for rewards until 21 July 2025. This incentivizes token locking, reducing circulating supply. The team also teases upcoming projects (“Yuni’s preparations”) aimed at expanding utility.
What this means: Reduced sell pressure from staking and new use cases could stabilize prices. However, similar past airdrops (e.g., July 2025’s WLFI campaign) saw only transient spikes due to thin liquidity.
2. Exchange Liquidity Risks (Bearish Impact)
Overview: Upbit, a top TT trading platform (CoinMarketCap), halted deposits/withdrawals on 31 July for maintenance. While trading remains active, restricted inflows/outflows could amplify price volatility. TT also faced delisting from ONUS in 2023 due to low liquidity.
What this means: Upbit handles ~$1.3M of TT’s $5.2M daily volume. Prolonged restrictions may deter traders, exacerbating TT’s -25% 60-day decline.
3. Regulatory Pressures (Mixed Impact)
Overview: ThunderCore removed TT Wallet from app stores on 4 July 2025 to “adapt to regulatory developments.” While existing users retain access, new downloads are blocked, potentially slowing adoption.
What this means: Reduced app visibility may limit retail inflows, though integrations with MetaMask and Trust Wallet mitigate this.
Conclusion
ThunderCore’s price hinges on balancing staking-driven demand against liquidity fragility. Watch whether WLFI participation offsets exchange volatility post-Upbit maintenance. Can TT’s $27M market cap sustain another -25% drawdown if sentiment sours?
