From the perspective of development planning, Velo’s vision is actually much bigger than Ripple’s. However, in the first stage, Velo focused on cross-border payments and still regarded Ripple as a competitor.

Tridbodi Arunanondchai, vice chairman of the Velo protocol, said bluntly in an interview with ChainDD recently that Velo has the confidence to compete with Ripple and even the SWIFT system in terms of technology and support. With the support of many business partners such as Chia Pokphand Group and Visa, Velo will be able to empower the payment market in Southeast Asia, and then achieve a wide range of commercial implementation.

TokenInsight previously rated Velo as BB, with a stable outlook. Important partners such as Lightnet can play a good supporting role in Velo. The subsequent development of Velo is closely related to the expansion of its future ecological network.

After a series of activities, VELO is expected to continue to attract market attention. So, what is the future value of VELO?

Let’s first look at the description of Velo’s white paper: VELO token is a utility token that can be used to execute smart contracts or serve as collateral for value transfer, thereby providing protection for digital credit settlement issued within the ecosystem. As the demand for digital credit grows, more business partners and users join, and the transfer volume increases, the value of VELO tokens will also rise accordingly.

Let’s take a look at the rating agency TokenInsight’s evaluation:

1. The application scenarios and market pain points targeted by Velo are clear, with a good possibility of landing, and good potential for future commercial promotion;

2. The Velo team has a good background. The core team members have an average of more than 10 years of work experience in traditional industries such as finance, graduated from well-known universities and have management experience;

3. The strategic partner has strong strength and can promote the project business. Lightnet, an important partner of the project, has a very good support for Velo;

4. The economic model of the project token is clear and the distribution is reasonable. A relatively high proportion of tokens are used for future ecological construction and community development, and the unlocking rules for tokens are clear.

In a nutshell, based on the stellar network, Velo can build a network and polish products well, and relying on Chia Tai Group can better expand partners and implement product applications, all of which will ultimately empower VELO.
