Important recent ZK news:
1️⃣ ZK-rollup Ecosystem Expansion Promotes Industry Consensus Upgrade
The Bitcoin-based ZK-rollup project Citrea launched on mainnet from January 27-29, utilizing zero-knowledge proof architecture to build a native financial application layer on Bitcoin. Supported by Peter Thiel, Galaxy, and other institutions, it introduced cBTC and ctUSD assets, deploying over 30 decentralized applications during its initial phase. This development indicates ZK technology is extending from the Ethereum ecosystem to Bitcoin, demonstrating the core value of zero-knowledge proofs in cross-chain scalability and capital efficiency, laying the foundation for commercialization across the ZK track.
2️⃣ Vitalik Reaffirms the Decisive Role of ZK-SNARKs in Blockchain Architecture
Vitalik Buterin recently stated that the development of zero-knowledge technologies like ZK-SNARKs has fundamentally changed blockchain trade-offs, making it possible to verify on-chain correctness without re-executing all transactions, thus “achieving both security and scalability.” This shift reflects an upgraded industry recognition of the theoretical value of zero-knowledge proofs, strengthening ZK-rollup’s position as the ultimate blockchain scalability solution and providing academic and ideological support for the long-term value of ZK ecosystem projects including ZKsync.
3️⃣ ZK Technology Shifts from Single Security Application to Comprehensive Financial Infrastructure
The mainnet launch and feature deployment of ZK-rollups in the Bitcoin ecosystem mark zero-knowledge proof technology’s transition from theoretical research to large-scale commercial use. By maintaining Bitcoin’s security assumptions while introducing native lending, stablecoins, and other financial infrastructure, the industry is validating the feasibility of ZK technology supporting a complete financial ecosystem. This paradigm shift enhances market expectations for core infrastructure providers in the ZK track. As a leading ZK-rollup solution provider, ZKsync is poised to benefit from ecosystem demand expansion.

Ethereum network activity reaches a new all-time high, but ETH price has fallen 30% over 6 months, ranking third in fee revenue.
Ethereum network activity reaches a new all-time high, with multiple indicators showing a significant increase in daily active addresses and smart contract calls. However, ETH price has fallen about 30% over the past six months, indicating a net capital outflow. Analysis suggests that capital flows have a greater impact on price. Despite Ethereum hosting a large amount of stablecoins, its value capture has not kept pace with the growth in network usage.

Ethereum active addresses surpass 2 million, reaching a new all-time high, but ETH price remains under pressure; capital flow becomes a key variable.
Ethereum network activity reaches a record high, but ETH prices have not risen accordingly, and on-chain transaction fee revenue has not significantly increased. Transaction data shows that the correlation between on-chain activity and price has weakened, with new demand not translating into higher ETH valuation, leading to net capital outflows from the market. Stablecoins still dominate the Ethereum ecosystem, but overall economic activity is dispersed across layer 2 networks, indicating a separation between network usage and asset value capture.

BTC and ETH short-term holder SOPR has rebounded since late February, indicating increased market resilience.
Gate News Report, March 11 — A research institution released a report indicating that short-term holders of BTC and ETH have been experiencing a rebound in the spent output profit ratio (SOPR) since late February. SOPR is used to measure whether recent sellers are in profit when selling assets. The rebound of this indicator suggests that spot demand has been strong enough recently to absorb reverse selling pressure, making market positioning more resilient.
