Some analysts say Stargate Finance (STG) could climb toward $0.60 or even $1.40 in 2025 if key price levels hold.
The view comes after STG rose 12% in a single day, driven by the LayerZero Foundation’s $110 million proposal to acquire the Stargate bridge and its tokens — a deal that could replace STG with ZRO, if approved.
Analysts See 200% Near-Term Move, 7x Potential in Bull Market
Corvinus said STG has rebounded from a long-term support level and must stay above $0.1886 to keep its bullish setup intact. Smith described STG’s price action over the past two years as a consolidation phase, when price trades in a narrowing range without clear trend direction. He said a breakout from this range could lift the token by 200% to around $0.60. He also maintains that the potential exists for a longer-term move to about $1.40 if altcoin market conditions improve.
At the time of writing, STG was trading at $0.1953. It is above its 20-day ($0.1684), 50-day ($0.1709), and 100-day ($0.1790) exponential moving averages (EMAs). These track the average price over set time periods, giving more weight to recent data. The 200-day EMA, often viewed as a long-term trend barrier, is at $0.2120. The relative strength index (RSI) is at 71. RSI measures momentum on a scale of 0 to 100. Readings above 70 often occur after strong gains and can lead to short-term pullbacks. Trading volume has risen by about 40% over the past week. In its last significant rally in early 2023, STG’s price held above its 200-day EMA while volume more than doubled over four days. Current levels are still roughly 55% below that past breakout threshold.
LayerZero Foundation Proposes $110 Million Acquisition of Stargate Bridge
LayerZero launched Stargate in 2022 as a protocol for transferring tokens between blockchains. Instead of a traditional “bridge,” which locks tokens on one chain and issues copies on another, Stargate uses liquidity pools that hold real assets on each blockchain. This method reduces the risk of hacks that have affected many bridge-based systems.
Under the proposal, each STG token would be exchanged for 0.08634 ZRO tokens. This would place STG’s value at about $0.1675 at current market prices. The plan requires 70% approval from Stargate’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). If approved, STG would be discontinued and holders would receive ZRO. Since its launch, Stargate has processed more than $70 billion in transactions. Following the announcement, ZRO’s price rose 15%, lifting the estimated deal value from $110 million to roughly $127 million. Some STG holders argue that the offer undervalues the token, noting it is down about 95% from its $4.14 all-time high in April 2022. They also point out that ZRO does not have STG’s revenue-sharing or staking features. Supporters say combining the two tokens could simplify the project’s operations. The proposal will remain open for comments for seven days before a DAO vote.
Past DAO Votes Show Pre-Vote Spikes, Post-Vote Volatility
ZRO, launched in mid-2024, has traded between $7.47 in December 2024 and under $2.50 in mid-2025. If the swap is approved, STG holders will hold an asset with this volatility range. In similar governance events, such as Uniswap’s 2023 vote to expand to Binance Smart Chain, token prices climbed in the days before the decision but fell sharply after results failed to meet market expectations. This pattern could influence STG as its own vote approaches. STG’s 2025 performance will depend on the DAO vote outcome and overall market trends. Historically, altcoins have gained more trading activity when Bitcoin’s share of total crypto market value has declined, freeing up liquidity for smaller tokens. If STG holds above $0.1886 and breaks $0.2120 with volume approaching or exceeding its 2023 breakout levels, analysts say it could advance toward $0.60 in the near term. Falling below $0.1886 would weaken this outlook.
