Meanwhile, the project is preparing for one of the most important structural changes in its history.

Cosmos is shifting away from circular token dynamics in favor of a model based on real fees. As per the forum page, the research initiative will examine ATOM’s current supply and demand profile, test alternative economic structures, and prepare a risk‑controlled transition toward a framework that remains sustainable in the future.
A number of research institutions will participate in the initiative, each contributing independent analysis before the community votes on the final economic design.
The process spans five stages: proposal submission, research‑team selection, information gathering, results analysis, and governance approval.
Community members, validators, and ecosystem partners will take part throughout the process, from initial discussions to final evaluations.
The goal is to make ATOM the revenue token for the enterprise era of the Cosmos Stack, supported by usage fees and ecosystem activity.
On the 4H chart, ATOM is sitting inside a clear descending channel and has held above a long‑term support region near $2.40-$2.45.
Price action remains tight, with lower highs converging into a narrowing structure along the channel’s lower boundary.
Bollinger Bands show reduced volatility, while the RSI hovers near the 42 level, not very appealing for bulls.
MACD lines move close to the zero axis, offering no firm directional push, while BoP remains slightly negative.

If buyers defend the green support zone, ATOM may attempt a rebound toward the upper boundary of the descending channel.
A break above $2.60 would open the path to the $2.90-$3 range, making it the next crypto to explode in 2025.
However, it is important to note that if ATOM falls under $2.4, it could retest earlier cycle lows near $2.20.
