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.

Goldman Sachs believes that the market has already overestimated the risks of stagflation and high yields. The diminishing effect of tariffs, potential deflation in energy, and cost reductions driven by AI consumerization are expected to push inflation down. Although growth is slowing, core earnings remain strong and central banks have limited room for hawkish moves. In a "Goldilocks" scenario, AI FOMO may be reignited, and there is no need to wait for the midterm elections. The "Goldilocks" rally could trigger a year-end rally in US equities ahead of schedule.
