[PRESS RELEASE – George Town, Cayman Islands, July 22nd, 2024]

Zircuit, a fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup with AI-enabled sequencer level security, today announced it raised a Mainnet funding round with participation from Binance Labs, Mirana Ventures, Amber Group, Selini, Robot Ventures, Nomad Capital, Borderless Capital, and prominent angel investors including the founders of Renzo, Etherfi, Pendle, Parallel, LayerZero, Axelar, F2Pool, Nonce, KelpDAO, ETHGlobal, Maelstrom, and more. With this new funding, Zircuit will be able to supercharge ecosystem growth and activity on its network, building upon a strong technical foundation and over $2.9 billion in staked assets.

Since 2022, the Zircuit team has built a new L2 network that introduces a revolutionary new approach to onchain security. Zircuit protects dApps and their users from blockchain vulnerabilities through its novel infrastructure that is armored by sequencer-level security and built-in, automated AI techniques to guard against smart contract exploits and malicious actors. The network’s hybrid architecture also results in a fast, low-cost, and fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup, offering unparalleled security for users without compromising speed or compatibility.

Bolstered by its strong security infrastructure, Zircuit plans to become a central hub for restaked assets that features unparalleled security and allows users to earn industry-leading yields natively. The landscape of liquid restaking is still nascent and rapidly evolving and new LRT protocols are constantly emerging, making it challenging for even experienced users to track and choose the best and the safest protocols for deploying their capital. Zircuit aims to address this problem by becoming a major liquidity hub for restaked assets (ETH, BTC, LSTs, and LRTs) where users can easily allocate their capital and have peace of mind knowing that funds are deployed to the safest and highest quality protocols.

“At Binance Labs, we support projects that are innovating in Web3 and accelerating the blockchain industry. Through its integration of sequencer level security, Zircuit is providing a more secure L2 solution and we look forward to watching it grow and develop further,” said Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance and Head of Binance Labs.

“Security has been a persistent issue in the crypto space, with breaches occurring almost daily. Zircuit, founded by top security veterans, leads the industry with its best-in-class security architecture. The team’s clear growth strategy has led to explosive growth in assets locked since launch,” said Erick Zhang, Managing Partner of Nomad Capital. “We are excited to support and continue working with the Zircuit team.”

“As the web3 space accelerates toward mainstream adoption, Zircuit will empower this growth by providing the necessary infrastructure to onboard the masses. Our years of research into rollups and blockchain security have allowed us to build an L2 network with unparalleled security and scalability. We’re proud to have the support of Binance Labs, Mirana Ventures, and our other investors as we approach our first phase of Mainnet and establish Zircuit as a cornerstone in the industry,” stated Martin Derka, co-founder of Zircuit.

Zircuit’s Mainnet Phase 1 is set to launch in the coming weeks.

Tron (TRX) Price Heatmap: Is a Local Bottom on the Horizon?

letizo News

Published

on

Post-Christmas, the cryptocurrency market turned red, with most assets suffering heavy losses. Tron (TRX) is not immune to the downturn. Earlier this month, the asset reached a new peak and reclaimed the 10th spot by market cap, which sparked a renewed sense of hope in the community.

But the latest pullback extended its losses. As a result, TRX is down by over 43% from its recently established all-time high of $0.43 to the current price level of $0.25. However, data points to the formation of a local bottom soon.

TRX Nearing a Turning Point?

CryptoQuant’s analysis of TRX’s price heatmap revealed that the green trend, represented by the one-year moving average plus two sigma, could serve as a crucial support level during the current market correction.

Historically, this green trend has acted as a strong foundation during bull rallies, and it is anticipated to provide similar support, potentially marking a local bottom for TRX’s price.

The current levels for the green, purple, and blue trends are $0.23, $0.40, and $0.49, respectively. These levels are dynamic and will likely adjust upward with increased interest and demand. As the market heats up, attention should be given to the purple and blue trends, which may act as resistance zones. If TRX price stays above the green trend, it could signal the start of a new upward trend.

On the other hand, CryptoQuant warned that a drop below the green trend might indicate a weakening bull cycle. As demand strengthens, Tron’s price could target the purple and blue trend levels, with a breakthrough above the 0.40 level offering strong market confidence.

What’s Next For Tron?

Earlier this month, TRX’s rally was driven by speculations about Grayscale listing and Tron founder Justin Sun’s initiatives, including a $30 million purchase of WLFI tokens tied to Trum’s project and his advisory role. Sun’s involvement with the artwork “Comedian” has also engaged the community, igniting ripple effects for tokens like BAN and related projects.

Despite the latest setback to the rally, experts point to a moderately favorable year ahead for the asset. CoinCodex, for one, predicted that TRX could see a modest 2.93% price increase to $0.264 by January 24, 2025. The sentiment remains neutral, while the Fear & Greed Index reflects high optimism at 73 (Greed).

TRX has demonstrated 50% green days and 17.17% volatility over the past month, thereby indicating active market participation. Analysts view this as a good buying opportunity, with expectations of a short-term peak of $0.268 on December 30, 2024.

ADA Needs to Maintain This Level to Avoid Drop to $0.5: Cardano Price Analysis

letizo News

Published

on

Cardano is one of those crypto assets that has closely followed Bitcoin in terms of price action and is currently experiencing a pullback similar to BTC.

By Edris Derakhshi (TradingRage)

The USDT Paired Chart

On the USDT-Paired chart, the asset began its aggressive rally at the beginning of November, breaking the 200-day moving average to the upside. Since then, multiple resistance levels have been broken, but the $1.2 level has rejected the asset on a couple of occasions.

The market’s failure to continue beyond the $1.2 level has led to a correction toward the $0.75 support zone, successfully preventing a deeper decline. If this level holds, it could only be a matter of time before ADA climbs above the $1.2 mark. Yet, a breakdown of this area could result in a drop toward the 200-day moving average, located around the $0.5 level.

The BTC Paired Chart

On the ADA/BTC daily chart, it is evident that Cardano has outperformed Bitcoin during the recent crypto rally but is also depreciating against BTC on a broader scale. With the 1,000 SAT support level being almost broken to the downside, it is likely for the ADA/BTC chart to decline toward the 200-day moving average, located around the 700 SAT mark.

Therefore, as the chart suggests, it is probable that BTC will outperform ADA in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Risks Dropping Toward $80K if it Fails to Reclaim $100K Soon

letizo News

Published

on

Bitcoin has failed to sustain its rally above the $100K level and has been correcting over the last week.

Yet, a bullish continuation can materialize soon.

Technical Analysis

By Edris Derakhshi (TradingRage)

The Daily Chart

On the daily chart, the asset dropped below the $100K level last week and has failed to climb back above it since. While the $90K support zone has held the market, preventing it from dropping lower, the price has failed to break above the $100K level yet again and is getting rejected to the downside.

This could result in a deeper continuation below the $90K and toward the $80K area in the coming weeks if the price fails to break back above $100K.

The 4-Hour Chart

Looking at the 4-hour timeframe, things look slightly more tricky for Bitcoin. The price has recently broken the ascending channel pattern to the downside, which can be a reversal signal. The lower boundary of the pattern has also been retested twice alongside the $100K resistance level.

Yet, both levels have held and pushed the asset lower, which could lead to a drop toward the $90K level and even lower in the short term.

 

On-Chain Analysis

By Edris Derakhshi (TradingRage)

Long-Term Holder SOPR

Not everything can be figured out using technical and price analysis. For a better view of the underlying dynamics of the Bitcoin network, it is beneficial to analyze on-chain metrics.

This chart presents the long-term holder SOPR metric, which measures the ratio of profit realization by investors who have held their coins for over 6 months. As the chart suggests, the realized profit is relatively high, but it has yet to reach the values previously seen when the market was consolidating below the $70K level. This is especially interesting, as BTC is now trading around $100K.

As a result, it could be interpreted that long-term holders’ selling pressure is still insufficient to overwhelm the market, and the price could still rally higher in the coming weeks.
