Injective (INJ) Eyes $5 as CEO Warns on Decentralization
- Injective (INJ) remains locked between $4.40 and $5.05 awaiting a breakout.
- Holding $4.50 support could lead to a retest of $5.05 resistance.
- Injective CEO says decentralization should not be sacrificed for blockchain scalability.
Injective (INJ) remains trapped between key technical levels as traders watch for its next decisive move. While Injective (INJ) slipped 1.35% over the past 24 hours to trade at $4.74, analysts continue monitoring the $4.40-$5.05 range for a potential breakout. At the same time, Injective CEO Eric Chen has renewed the debate around blockchain scaling by arguing that decentralization should not be sacrificed for higher throughput.
Injective INJ Faces Key Resistance While Holding Support
Injective (INJ) has traded within a relatively tight range between $4.40 and $5.05 despite broader crypto market volatility. Crypto analyst Aarshynov noted that the current market remains highly manipulative, making aggressive trading difficult.
However, he believes Injective (INJ) deserves close attention because a confirmed breakout could trigger stronger upside momentum. The analyst added that he accumulated positions between $2.70 and $3.30 and continues adding through community buybacks.
According to his outlook, holding above the $4.50 support could open the door for another test of $5.01-$5.05. A breakdown below $4.40 could instead invite fresh selling pressure toward lower support levels.
Injective INJ CEO Defends Decentralization Over Speed
Injective CEO Eric Chen said Layer 1 blockchain networks will increasingly face pressure to prioritize speed over decentralization as adoption accelerates.
Chen argued that centralization may improve efficiency but introduces dangerous single points of failure. Instead, he believes blockchain projects should pursue scaling through dedicated execution zones and Layer-2 infrastructure without weakening network security or decentralization.
His comments revisit the long-standing blockchain trilemma, which balances security, decentralization, and scalability. Chen emphasized that pushing too aggressively toward scalability often forces compromises elsewhere.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029
It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
