ZKsync Surges 69% in 24 Hours Amid Vitalik Buterin Mentions and Atlas Upgrade Buzz
The ZKsync (ZK) token has seen a dramatic 69% price increase in just 24 hours, marking one of the most impressive daily rallies among Layer 2 projects.
The surge comes after a wave of posts and retweets on X (formerly Twitter), where the project’s account amplified complimentary mentions from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin regarding the ZKsync technology stack.
Atlas Upgrade: 15,000 TPS Performance
Some community members attribute the rally to the recently deployed Atlas sequencer upgrade, which aims to increase network throughput to 15,000 transactions per second (TPS).
However, analysts note that the Atlas update was originally announced on October 7, making it unlikely to be the sole driver behind the sudden market momentum.
Speculation and Social Hype Drive Momentum
Market observers suggest that renewed social media attention and Ethereum ecosystem excitement may have reignited investor interest in ZKsync, particularly after Buterin’s public remarks about ZK-rollup scalability.
Whether this rally signals the start of a longer-term recovery or a short-lived social-driven spike remains to be seen — but for now, ZKsync is back in the spotlight.
