Remember $THETA pumping to $15+ in 2021 on decentralized video dreams? Partnerships with Samsung/Google hyped it huge, but it crashed hard due to the following reasons :
Bear market wiped alts (Terra/FTX fallout).
Slow adoption—video traffic never exploded vs YouTube giants.
Narrative shift to AI/memecoins.
Late 2025 lawsuits (ex-execs alleging fraud/manipulation on NFTs/partnerships) added massive overhang.
Now trading ~$0.29–$0.33 (down big but stabilizing),
it's quietly pivoting:
EdgeCloud hybrid decentralized GPU compute for AI/video/gaming—out of beta, launching models like Llama 2/Gemma.
New partnerships: Imperial College London (Jan 2026, first EU uni for AI research), Deutsche Telekom validator, esports (Team Heretics Q1 2026).
TDROP 2.0 approved/queued: Reallocates 4B tokens to extend staking to 2030 + fuel AI agent economy
Is it worthy to invest in $THETA
