Potential Reason Behind Helium Price Surge
By the end of January 2024, Helium Network and two well-known carriers in the United States had partnered to offload their mobile network congestion to the decentralized ecosystem of Helium.
Telefónica Telecommunication disclosed its strategic partnership with HNT Network to leverage its blockchain to reduce its Network’s cost.
Moreover, the partnership aims to leverage the hotspots of Helium for better coverage in Mexico and Oaxaca. Following the news, HNT price rose 11.17% on January 26 and 8.07% on January 27, 2024.
HNT price grew 4.57% on July 22, 2024, and its price added 2.52% the following day, with a spiked intraday volume of 388.988k. As per speculation, the boost in the price was backed by the announcement, which notes helium mobile subscribers exceeded 100k.
The Network adds that the tally has increased over 300-fold in the past 52 weeks.

What is a Helium Network?
As per Helium’s whitepaper, it is a distributed ledger designed to provide a cost-effective way to run an application logic core to operate a DWN, store immutable Device data fingerprints, and furnish a transaction system.
It is an immutable append-only list of transactions that achieves consensus using the Helium Consensus Protocol. The Network uses a new open wireless protocol called WHIP.
WHIP is a long-range, low-power, wireless network protocol suitable for use with commodity open-standards hardware.
Crypto Market Price Update
As of writing, the cryptocurrency market capitalization was at $2.055 Trillion, adding $4.44 Billion intraday. However, the cap registered a growth of 28.03% YTD and 98.65% in 52 weeks.
Bitcoin price lost over 13% of its price in the past 30 days and 14.22% quarterly. Although the market has experienced short-term bearishness, the price has still achieved an impressive annual addition of 126.91%.
Nevertheless, some experts believe that the substantial outflows from the GBTC ETF primarily cause the ongoing decline.
