InLeo’s $LEO token is making waves, atleast inside Hive with its price sitting at $0.11 per token after a jaw-dropping 5X surge over the past two weeks. This isn’t just another crypto pump; this happens because there are several factors coming together now. @leostrategy is setup and has a massive sell of $LSTR to build its $LEO treasury. LeoDex is gaining more and more traction, which equals to swap volume and revenue. And with the token doing a Lions Roar Pattern, people are flocking back to threads.
First, a quick refresher on InLeo. InLeo is a Web3 platform built on Hive blockchain, blending social media and decentralized finance to reward creators and users with its native $LEO token. $LEO is a Arbitrum native token with a max supply of 30 million tokens spread on Arbitrum, Hive-engine and Binance smart chain. LEO 2.0, was an uppgrade that also brought a deflationary model, and a System Income Rewards Pool (SIRP) that’s been dishing out rewards like candy to keep the community buzzing.
Now, enter @leostrategy. Inspired by MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin-buying spree. So far, ~680K $LEO tokens have been snapped up through this strategy, taken out of circulation for good. With a total supply of just 30 million, that’s a noticeable chunk, over 2% of the supply. This move mimics MicroStrategy’s bet on Bitcoin’s scarcity, where they’ve raised billions to hoard $BTC, banking on its limited 21 million supply to drive value. InLeo’s doing the same, betting that locking up $LEO will make the token scarcer and more valuable over time.
At $0.11 per token, $LEO’s market cap is roughly $3 million (30 million tokens times $0.11). That’s tiny compared to Bitcoin’s $1.92 trillion, but it’s part of what makes $LEO intriguing. A smaller market means less buying pressure is needed to move the needle. The tokens locked up via @leostrategy are worth about $70K at current prices, and if InLeo keeps generating revenue to fuel these buybacks, the circulating supply could shrink further, potentially pushing prices higher.
So, how high can $LEO go? Let’s break it down. In the short term, say 3–6 months, the 5X surge shows strong momentum. If
@leostrategy sells out its remaining tokens and we also start seeing services being built ontop of it, the team neep pushing LeoDex with ad campaigns and hangingaround X and InLeo’s social numbers grows we can surely see $LEO hit $1–$2, pushing the market cap to $30–$60 million. In a dream scenario, where InLeo becomes a Web3 powerhouse and the crypto market stays bullish, $10–$30 isn’t crazy, implying a $300–$900 million market cap. Thats not that large of a project in the crypto space even.
There are risks, of course. Crypto is a wild ride, and a 5X surge often invites corrections. We will see people selling and taking profits all the way up and thats why its important to keep the revenue flowing in as high as possible. More premium, more swaps and more bridging!
What’s next for $LEO?
$LEO’s a speculative bet with big potential, but do your homework and talk to a financial advisor before diving in. But just realize that big tech companies like X are trying to do similar model as InLeo are building right now.
