<p>Sky is running into an awkward crypto-market reality: strong fundamentals don’t always stop short-term price pain.</p>
<p>While the broader Sky ecosystem keeps pulling in billions in capital, SKY price has dropped roughly 25% since tagging $0.087 in late April. The token is now hovering around a critical support zone near $0.065, and traders are watching closely to see whether that level survives another round of selling pressure. Because if it doesn’t, the next downside area sits closer to $0.060 or even lower.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, under the hood, the protocol is evolving fast. Sky Protocol has officially exited its “Genesis Capitalization” phase and introduced a simplified Treasury Management Function called Alchemist. Instead of discretionary spending, protocol expenses are now capped as a fixed percentage of revenue and automatically allocated toward security, backstop reserves, staking rewards, and the Smart Burn Engine.</p>
<p>That matters because it creates more predictable revenue flows and strengthens long-term buyback mechanics.</p>
<p>Of course, there’s a tradeoff. The Sky Savings Rate was <a href="https://x.com/SkyEcosystem/status/2059292970445156405?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cut</a> to 3.60% on May 26. This may cool demand from users chasing high stablecoin yields.</p>

<p>Still, the broader ecosystem <a href="https://financial.skyeco.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">metrics</a> remain difficult to ignore.</p>
<p>USDS circulating supply has fluctuated between roughly $9.3 billion and $11.8 billion over the last 90 days, while Sky reserves climbed from around $37 million to above $81 million. At the same time, sUSDS deposits reached $6.38 billion, with SKY staking surpassing $1.16 billion.</p>

<p>The protocol also appears to be finding stronger institutional product-market fit, focusing increasingly on risk-adjusted returns and more sophisticated capital allocators instead of purely retail-driven yield farming.</p>
<p>For now, though, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/maker-dao-mkr-price-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SKY price</a> remains trapped between growing ecosystem strength and weakening short-term momentum.</p>
