According to a recent update from PR Newswire, in a strategic move signaling its commitment to revolutionizing digital finance, the EOS Network has announced its rebranding to Vaulta. This transition marks the culmination of extensive development and market analysis, positioning Vaulta at the forefront of the emerging Web3 banking sector . Vaulta aims to integrate Web3 technology with traditional financial systems, creating a secure, scalable, and inclusive financial ecosystem. This integration seeks to unlock the potential of decentralized assets like Bitcoin, paving the way for a more decentralized financial landscape. Yves La Rose, Founder and CEO of the Vaulta Foundation, emphasized that this transformation represents more than just a name change—it’s a decisive step toward delivering open, accessible financial services for all: This transformation represents more than just a name change; it’s a decisive step forward in our mission to deliver open, accessible financial access for everyone. Vaulta is the product of years of planning, strategic development, and thoughtful design, culminating in a holistic Web3 banking approach. Web3 has the potential to reshape global finance, and Vaulta is at the forefront of this evolution. To bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure, Vaulta is establishing the Vaulta Banking Advisory Council. This council comprises experts from both banking and Web3 sectors, including notable figures such as Lawrence Truong, CEO of Systemic Trust, and Alexander Nelson, Senior Director of Digital Finance at ATB Financial. Vaulta plans to leverage strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Ceffu, Spirit Blockchain, and Blockchain Insurance Inc. to expand its Web3 banking ecosystem. The announcement of the rebranding has garnered significant attention within the cryptocurrency community. As of March 19, 2025, EOS (now transitioning to Vaulta) is trading at approximately $0.63, with a 24-hour trading volume of around $412.26 million, positioning it as the 66th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

The price of EOS rose 25% following news of its rebrand to Vaulta and a shift toward web3 banking. EOS ( EOS ) gained 25% to $0.61 after the network announced plans to rebrand as Vaulta to “realize the vision of web3 banking.” In a press release on Tuesday, March 18, EOS said the transition, which includes a token swap, is expected to take place by the end of May, though the timeline still remains subject to change. Yves La Rose, founder and CEO of the Vaulta Foundation, claims the shift represents “more than just a name change,” adding that Vaulta is the “product of years of planning, strategic development, and thoughtful design.” The rebrand follows a prolonged period of weak price performance for EOS, which has struggled to recover not only from its all-time high in 2018 but also from its 2021 levels, which were more than 30% lower than its peak. The transition is described as part of a broader effort to integrate blockchain with traditional financial services. According to the announcement, Vaulta will act as an operating system for web3 banking, aiming to provide scalable and decentralized financial services. The network will also introduce the Vaulta Banking Advisory Council, a group of banking experts tasked with helping to bridge traditional finance with blockchain. Meanwhile, blockchain security firm SlowMist issued a warning about address poisoning attacks on wallets holding EOS. According to the firm, bad actors are sending out 0.001 EOS to users to lure them into unknowingly interacting with fraudulent addresses. These attackers create wallet addresses that closely resemble legitimate ones, hoping users will mistakenly copy and paste the wrong address when making transactions. As part of the rebrand plans, Vaulta will integrate with exSat, a Bitcoin digital banking solution, adding that exSat’s services will “complement Vaulta’s BankingOS,” positioning BTC as a key component of its financial model. Further details, including the new token ticker and additional partnerships, are expected to be announced in the coming months.
