ZKsync’s ZK token surged over 50% on Saturday, climbing from nearly $0.03 to $0.045 after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin endorsed a ZKsync post describing Ethereum as “incorruptible.”

ZKsync recently introduced the Atlas upgrade to its ZK Stack, designed to enhance infrastructure for enterprises and institutions with the addition of a new high-performance sequencer supporting up to 30,000 transactions per second and full Ethereum compatibility.

The upgrade includes Airbender, a system for quick confirmations and fast cross-chain settlement.

Developed by Matter Labs, Atlas aims to facilitate systems combining private control with interoperability, making it suitable for handling payments, tokenized assets, and cross-border settlements.

In a separate tweet posted earlier, following the Atlas upgrade, Buterin praised ZKsync for its “underrated and valuable” contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem.

The US government shutdown has entered its 36th day, leading to a decline in global financial markets. The shutdown has prevented funds from being released from the Treasury General Account (TGA), draining market liquidity and triggering a liquidity crisis. Interbank lending rates have soared, while default rates on commercial real estate and auto loans have risen, increasing systemic risk. The market is divided over future trends: pessimists believe the liquidity shock will persist, while optimists expect a liquidity release after the shutdown ends. Summary generated by Mars AI.
