The Casper (CSPR) token spiked in value in late November but was unable to hold on to its gains as the broader cryptocurrency markets came under pressure. The token launched during the May 2021 market rally but quickly fell during the subsequent sell-off, and has since struggled to recover.
So, what is Casper crypto and what are the prospects for the token as an investment for 2022 and the coming years?
Casper is an enterprise-focused blockchain that enables businesses to build private or permissioned applications, aiming to accelerate business and developer adoption of blockchain technologies. It offers upgradeable contracts, predictable gas fees and WebAssembly (WASM) coding so that the protocol can evolve as businesses expand their use.
“Casper allows the direct upgrading of on-chain smart contracts, eliminating the need for complex migration processes and making it easy for developers to correct smart contract vulnerabilities,” the project website states.
CSPR is the native token of the Casper proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain, which rewards validators for staking their tokens to participate in the consensus mechanism. CSPR is also used to pay transaction fees on the network.
The Casper network uses the Casper Correct by Construction (CBC) consensus mechanism, which was developed by Vlad Zamfir, who also helped to create the Ethereum network. Ethereum is in the process of transitioning from proof-of-work (PoW) consensus to PoS for Ethereum 2.0, which will use a hybrid protocol called Casper Friendly Finality Gadget (CFFG).
The mainnet launched on 31 March and Casper held an initial coin offering (ICO) for the token in April on the CoinList exchange, enabling early investors to buy it for $0.03 ahead of its public launch. The coin was listed on some small exchanges and was trading above $1.30 during the cryptocurrency rally in May. CSPR was listed on the Huobi exchange on 11 May.
Casper announced several partnerships following its launch. On 13 April, Casper said that the Terra Virtua collectibles platform would use the Casper network to provide users with verified authentication of physical assets.
On 14 April, Casper announced that BIGtoken, a privacy-focused, opt-in data marketplace where users can monetise their data, will migrate its infrastructure to the Casper blockchain. It also announced a partnership with WiseKey to build a digital identification non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace on the Casper network.
On 27 April, CasperLabs announced a partnership with Lead Ventures to accelerate blockchain adoption in the Middle East and North Africa region.
Other partnerships formed last year include identity validation and data anchoring with Shyft Network, supply chain modelling with QuEST Global, digital certificate verification with Credentia, building a secure, non-custodial wallet with AMLSafe, and building decentralised finance (DeFi) software infrastructure with the Arcadia Group.
CasperLabs has partnered with SJM Group to promote next-generation internet (Web3) adoption in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Middle East. Metacask and CasperLabs have partnered to develop an NFT marketplace for rare whisky.
Robot Cache, a blockchain-powered game distribution and resale platform, will use the Casper network to track PC game distribution. CasperLabs has also partnered with PureFi, which offers full-cycle analytics of cryptocurrency assets.

It’s important to keep in mind that cryptocurrency markets remain extremely volatile, making it difficult to accurately predict what a coin’s price will be in a few hours, and even harder to give long-term estimates. As such, analysts and algorithm-based forecasters can and do get their predictions wrong.
We recommend that you always do your own research, and consider the latest Casper coin news, market trends, technical and fundamental analysis, and expert opinion before making any investment decision. Keep in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future returns, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets, which makes them particularly risky as investments. Whether the CSPR token is a suitable fit for your investment portfolio depends on your personal circumstances and risk tolerance. You should evaluate the level of risk you are prepared to accept before investing and never invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
