Threshold Network Price Prediction: 2025, 2030, 2040

Threshold's T token was trying hard to stay above $0.017 in the early days of May 2025. Although it steadied slightly over a day, the coin held onto strong gains from the previous month. People were still trading T, pushing daily volumes between $9 million and nearly $12 million, while its total market value swung from $171 million to $178 million with over 10.1 billion tokens out there.

Looking at the charts at the start of May gave mixed feelings about T. The general mood felt neutral, but some tools hinted at underlying conflict with a 'Bearish Bullish 44%' reading. Investor confidence seemed to swing back and forth, shown by the Fear & Greed Index hitting 64 ('Greed') one moment and 52 ('Neutral') the next. Daily charts showed the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sitting around the middle mark of 50, suggesting buyers and sellers were balanced, but weekly charts pointed to times when it might have been oversold before. Moving averages weren't clear either; the price sat above short-term EMA lines, looking good for the immediate future, yet might have been trailing behind longer-term ones. Still, the 200-day moving average was trending up, hinting at some fundamental strength. Traders watched closely, seeing potential resistance around $0.0189 and a floor near $0.0153. Getting decisively past that upper level could mean a run towards $0.0224, but falling below the lower one might mean more selling.

Forecasts for Threshold's price in May 2025 varied quite a bit. Analysts at CoinCodex, for example, thought the upward trend from April might continue, guessing an average near $0.034568 for May, potentially swinging anywhere from $0.017092 up to $0.058122. Others predicted smaller bumps soon, like hitting $0.019 by May 7th or maybe topping out near $0.022259 early in the month. Looking further out to early June, some guesses reached $0.056117 or even aimed for $0.068116. Thoughts on where T might end 2025 were all over the map, from averages between $0.0254 and $0.0487 to more hopeful calls near $0.08084 or even $0.0993. Everyone was aware of the market's wild nature, though, especially after seeing a 13.82% price swing over the last 30 days.

Beyond just the price charts, major changes were happening inside the Threshold ecosystem that could really move the needle. The network's whole economic model is getting a rethink, driven by community votes in the Threshold DAO through proposals like TIP-92 and TIP-100. A key decision the DAO made was to stop creating new T tokens, which used to happen under a 'Stable Yield' system meant to give stakers a 15% annual return. That system added about 5% (500 million T) to the supply each year and cost the network a lot – estimates put it between $8.5 million and $12.5 million annually before the change. Killing these staking rewards is a deliberate shift to make the network, especially its main tBTC service, sustainable and profitable long-term. Now, the plan is to cover running costs, like the fixed $500k yearly payments to Beta Stakers and other tBTC expenses, mostly from the fees charged when people create or redeem tBTC.

Tied directly to stopping inflation, the network started buying back its own T tokens, a move approved by the DAO (TIP-103, following up on TIP-54) and announced around April 2025. This plan uses the fees collected from the tBTC bridge, sitting in the DAO's treasury, to buy T right off the market. The main ideas are to shrink the available supply, which could help the price, and show everyone how committed the project is to its own success. We know the first buyback happened, pulling about 30 million T tokens out of circulation using 5.8 tBTC from the treasury. Switching from paying out new tokens to using fees to buy back existing ones is a huge change in how Threshold manages its money.

How well Threshold's main product, tBTC, does is still super important for the T token's price. tBTC acts as a secure bridge letting Bitcoin move into DeFi systems like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, and Base without needing a central company holding the keys. You can see it working in big DeFi names like Aave, Curve, Compound, and Uniswap. Deals like the one with Wormhole, a cross-chain messenger, have spread tBTC across even more blockchains. A big win recently was getting integrated with EigenLayer; tBTC became the first Bitcoin-backed asset on that popular restaking platform offering rewards, creating new ways for Bitcoin owners to earn yield. By early 2025, over 4,600 BTC worth of value was locked in tBTC. The more people use it, the more fee money the network makes, which is now what pays for the T token buybacks. Work continues on things like tBTC v2 and using tech like BitVM2 to make it even safer, which could also boost the network's overall value.

The Threshold DAO, where the community governs, keeps steering the network's path. Big recent decisions about ending inflation (TIP-92), the role of Beta Stakers (TIP-101), and general network changes (TIP-100, TIP-103) show just how much power the DAO has over Threshold's money and strategy. Outside of its own ecosystem, T's price also gets pushed around by what's happening in the wider crypto world. The general mood in crypto, Bitcoin's own price moves (since tBTC is tied to it), and what happens in DeFi and Layer 2 spaces where Threshold plays all have an effect.

It's worth remembering the Threshold Network itself came from a pretty unusual merger on the blockchain between Keep Network (KEEP) and NuCypher (NU) back in early 2022, bringing together their skills in advanced cryptography. That merger set the stage, but right now, everyone's attention is on these newer money-related changes and making tBTC better.

So, Threshold [T] is at a really interesting point in May 2025. The charts might look a bit unsure but hint at potential upside, and price guesses suggest room to grow even with the expected bumps. But where the token actually goes really depends on how the market takes these deep internal changes. People invested in T and using the network will be watching very carefully to see how stopping inflation works out, how well the fee-funded buybacks perform, and if tBTC keeps growing in use and value, especially in the busy DeFi and restaking scenes. Whether the DAO's big strategic shift pays off will be key for T's journey in the coming months.
