Data shows ICP median daily active addresses rose 35% to 3,860, with new addresses up 45% to 710, comparing two 30-day windows ending Oct 21.

Celestia (TIA) has a fresh catalyst. Fibre is live on mainnet — billed as the biggest upgrade since the network's launch — and it lands just as TIA clears a long-running descending channel on the weekly chart. Fibre, announced October 20, is built for the scale needed to bring global finance and agentic commerce onchain. The focus is data availability, with the network targeting demanding financial applications and AI-driven commerce. It is a meaningful directional bet for Celestia's infrastructure. The market still wants proof that the upgrade converts into sustained ecosystem activity and stronger TIA demand. Technical milestones can sharpen a project's outlook without immediately moving its token valuation. TIA Breakout Meets a Major Upgrade Weekly price action shows TIA trading near $0.5816 after exiting the descending channel. Support sits around $0.28; $0.55 to $0.5816 is the nearer zone to watch. Fibre adds a fundamental leg to that technical setup, and the pairing may lift sentiment. Traders still need to see TIA hold its gains rather than read the launch as confirmation of a sustained uptrend. Celestia said the upgrade delivers "the unprecedented scale required to bring global finance and agentic commerce onchain." Trader Lana Valentis called the mainnet release "the perfect catalyst" for a chart already in recovery. Four TIA Targets Depend on Follow-Through The chart maps $1.30 as the first upside objective, then $2.30 and $4.00. The most ambitious level, $9.00, would require a far larger advance from current prices. Celestia now has a major network upgrade and a potential technical recovery on its side. The TIA price prediction rests on whether TIA/USD can hold the breakout and build momentum toward $1.30. Anything higher remains a possibility, not a promise.
