Successful Mobile Carrier Beta Expands Network Reach
The recent passing of HIP 129 allows all Mobile hotspots to participate in the Carrier Beta, expanding the network’s reach. This development will have a positive impact on the network’s performance in the long run.
With extensive Helium network coverage across the mainland United States, there has been a significant increase in users participating in the Carrier Beta. Over 58,000 users have joined in the past week, resulting in a net gain of 5,122.
Data usage has also seen a rise, with an additional 1.5 terabytes of data flowing through the platform.
Investors Poised for Gains with Helium’s New Opportunities
HNT is currently above the $7.2 support level, with bullish momentum pushing towards the $8 mark. The strong bullish sentiment indicates a potential breakthrough above $8 in the near future, thanks to Helium’s on-chain developments.

However, the relative strength index (RSI) suggests a slowing momentum, likely after breaching $8. Investors and traders may target $9 in the long term if this occurs.
Considering the overall market sentiment, HNT could see a minor pullback to the $7-$8 range before a strong upward movement towards $9, representing a nearly 22% price increase.
Investors and traders should remain cautious, as market swings could impact HNT’s trajectory significantly.
