Berachain's own token, BERA, increased by over 150% on February 11. It was the largest increase in a single day in several months. The rise came after weeks of more activity, but the project had struggled during 2025. The price went down, more tokens would be unlocked, and investors felt uncertain.
Immediately after the increase, the foundation announced its new plan, 'Bera Builds Businesses'.
Berachain went from repayment concerns to revenue ambitions: What has changed?
In January, they announced an initiative to support three to five apps that generate revenue. These apps should create a stable demand for BERA.
The network no longer wants to just distribute large rewards. Now they focus on projects that can generate real money.
This change made many start talking differently about the project.
During 2025, Berachain faced problems when TVL (total value locked) dropped significantly. The token fell by more than 90% from its highest price. Many wondered if their model with large rewards would really work if the market was bad for a long time.
But another major concern also disappeared this month.
A controversial refund rule linked to Brevan Howard Nova Digital Fund ended on February 6, 2026. The rule allowed the investor to get back 25 million USD if the project did not go well.
Now many traders see it as something good that this risk has disappeared.
At the same time, a large token unlock passed by without people selling much. This led many analysts to call it a 'relief rally.'
Data from the chain and derivatives shows that trading is increasing. Open interest is also rising.
Liquidation maps show many short positions above key resistance levels, which means that covering short positions may have provided extra upward momentum.
But some risks still remain.
Berachain is still under pressure with tokens and must demonstrate that the business venture truly increases the demand for BERA.
Right now, the market seems to like the clarity and that uncertainty has decreased after a long quiet period.
