It is important to remember that price forecasts, especially for something as potentially volatile as crypto, very often end up being wrong. Also, keep in mind that many longer-term crypto price predictions are made using an algorithm, which means that they can change at a moment’s notice.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Osmosis 

Blockchain analytics company Messari released its quarterly usage report on Osmosis . It highlighted that April and May were the busiest months in terms of crypto transfers since early 2022, and outlined some key advantages and disadvantages of the blockchain.

It said that between April and June 2023, Osmosis had

  • A trading volume of a little below $1.3 million, down from $9.2 million year-on-year and $2.29 quarter-on-quarter.
  • Liquidity of $123 million, down from $153 million year-on-year and $165 million quarter-on-quarter.
  • $1.4 million paid fees, down from $11.2 million year-on-year and $2.4 million quarter-on-quarter.
  • 8.4 million of transactions. There were no figures for this statistic for the second quarter of 2022, but it was down from 12.3 million quarter-on-quarter.

Advantages of Osmosis

Messari found that Osmosis

  • Worked well in preparing for the change in tokenomics.
  • Had taken steps to increase the platform’s security.
  • Made a commitment to sustainability.

Disadvantages of Osmosis

Messari also found that Osmosis

  • Lost users across the three months.
  • Could have done better to incentivize long-term stakers, although changes to the platform should help this.
  • Was somewhat unbalanced in favour of liquidity providers. Again, proposed changes to the system should fix this problem.

Now, let’s talk about what OSMO actually is. 

Recent Updates from Osmosis

Osmosis said  the fourth quarter of 2023 was “outstanding “quarter for Osmosis in terms of revenue generation. Taker fees reached an impressive $2.1 million, swap fees amounted to $218,000, since its inception, ProtoRev has accrued $517,000.

OSMO Price History

Let’s now take a look at some of the highlights and lowlights of the Osmosis price history . While past performance should never be taken as an indicator of future results, knowing what the coin has done can help give us some very useful context when it comes to either making or interpreting an Osmosis price prediction. 

When OSMO first came onto the open market in October 2021, it was worth about $5.10. The market evidently considered it overvalued and it dropped to below $4 in the middle of December before recovering to close the year at $6.21.

Things looked good for Osmosis in early 2022, as the coin shot up, breaking past $10 in early January. Although it dropped from that high, it went back up and it reached an all-time high of $11.21 on March 4, 2022.

Following that, though, the crypto market collapsed, with a string of market crashes damaging OSMO. The coin fell to a low of $0.68 on June 18, but recovered throughout the rest of the summer. 

In November the FTX exchange declared bankruptcy and OSMO went down with the market, closing the year at $0.685. This meant it had lost nearly 90% of its value throughout the course of 2022.

Osmosis in 2023 and 2024

OSMO moved sideways for most of 2023, starting the year at $0.6852, a level that it held for quite all of the year. It then jumped in the second half of the year and closed 2023 at $1.58, increasing further in January 2024, reaching $1.62 on February 2, 2024.

At that time, there were 492,6 million OSMO in circulation out of a total supply of 587.4 million. This gave the coin a market cap of $798.3 million, making it the 78th largest crypto by that metric.

Osmosis Price Analysis

Osmosis Price Analysis
OSMO could well fall before it rises again.

OSMO reached a low of $0.22 on October 19. After that, a new uptrend started, leading to a breakout and then to a high of $2.50 on December 26. 

The uptrend ended and was followed by a fall of 46% to $1.36. If the last uptrend was the first one in a larger bull cycle, it could be in a correction.

Another low is likely for OSMO, with it potentially sinking to $1. After that, a new uptrend should begin. This new trend could, potentially, lead the price above $3.

Is Osmosis a Good Investment?

It is difficult to tell. On one hand, the idea of a platform that supports the ability to trade what tokens users want while also allowing them to work across blockchains certainly has its appeal.

On the other hand, it has not performed well lately, and its recent price movements have seen it fall to close to June’s all-time low. 

It is often argued that the best time to buy is during a dip. While it would be hard to say that OSMO was not in a dip, we still do not know when the dip will end, nor what price OSMO can reach if and when it recovers.

It remains to be seen whether changes to the platform can  make a difference to a coin that has been in freefall since reaching a record high in early March 2022.

As ever with crypto, you will need to make sure you do your own research before deciding whether or not to invest in OSMO.

Will Osmosis go up or down?

No one can really tell right now. While the Osmosis crypto price predictions are largely positive, price predictions have a well-earned reputation for being wrong. Keep in mind, too, that prices can, and do, go down as well as up. 

Should I invest in Osmosis?

Before you decide whether or not to invest in Osmosis, you will have to do your own research, not only on OSMO, but on other, related, coins and tokens such as Cosmos or Uniswap (UNI).

Either way, you will also need to make sure that you never invest more money than you can afford to lose.

Who are the Founders of Osmosis?

Ryan Haynes and Shiv Gaglani started building Osmosis as medical students at Johns Hopkins. Outside of the classroom, they knew there had to be a better way to learn medicine more effectively.

From the Whitepaper

In its technical documentation  Osmosis points out that it can be used by developers and traders, with a command-line interface (CLI) feature that makes working with the platform accessible.

It says: “The Osmosis blockchain is a decentralized network, ran by 100+ validators and full nodes, with many front-ends and development teams on it.”

Osmosis (OSMO) Explained

Decentralized exchanges (DEXes) were set up in response to how traditional, centralized, crypto exchanges only allowed people to trade coins and tokens that the platform’s central authority allowed. 

DEXes allow people to trade whichever cryptos they want at a price set by the market. However, they are not without their downsides.

One problem with DEXes is they often have difficulty trading cryptos that are not based on the same blockchain as them.

Osmosis , which was founded in 2021 by blockchain experts Sunny Aggarwal, Dev Ojha, Josh Lee and Tony Yun is an attempt to solve this problem. It allows people to create markets in cryptos on separate blockchains. 

The Osmosis coin, known by the ticker handle OSMO, supports the Osmosis DEX and its online ecosystem.

How Osmosis Works

Osmosis is linked to the Cosmos (ATOM) blockchain network. Using a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, people can add blocks to the blockchain based on how much OSMO they hold. 

People on Osmosis can use their ATOM to help fund liquidity pools, which help with trading, and the link to Cosmos makes working with different cryptos on different blockchains easier. 

People who hold OSMO have the chance to add blocks to the blockchain every day, and the coin can be staked in return for rewards. Holders can also vote on changes to how the liquidity pools are run. 

OSMO can also be bought, sold, and traded on exchanges.

FAQs

How many Osmosis are there?

As of February 2, 2024, there were 492,6 million OSMO in circulation out of a total supply of 587.4 million.

Will Osmosis reach $10?

It could do but, if it does, it won’t happen for some time yet. DigitalCoinPrice thought it was possible the coin could get to that level in 2030. 

It is worth pointing out that OSMO has reached that level before, with its all-time high of $11.21 coming in early March 2022.

What is Osmosis used for?

The Osmosis token (OSMO) is used to vote, stake, and provide liquidity throughout its pools. Superfluid staking, a process novel to the Osmosis protocol, allows users to stake assets to secure the network while simultaneously providing assets in a liquidity pool.
