Here’s the latest on Horizen (ZEN) — what’s new, and what to watch 👇
✅ What’s new with Horizen / ZEN
As of December 9, 2025, Horizen’s mainnet has officially launched on Base (the Ethereum-layer-2 chain), meaning ZEN is now live on Base — a major infrastructure upgrade.
That migration to Base marks the end of Horizen’s old UTXO-based chain. ZEN is now issued as an ERC-20 token under the new structure.
The move aims to combine privacy features with EVM compatibility, potentially making Horizen more accessible for developers and increasing its appeal for projects needing privacy + smart-contract functionality.
💲 Where ZEN stands now — price & market context
ZEN’s price is currently around US$ 9.3.
Circulating supply remains ~ 17.6 million ZEN, with a maximum supply of 21 million.
Compared to its all-time high (~ US$ 167), ZEN is still significantly down — but the recent migration and renewed infrastructure could influence sentiment.
📈 Analyst and Market Signals
Some short-term forecasts (for late 2025/early 2026) suggest ZEN could recover to around US$ 10–10.2 if certain bearish pressures ease.
However, technical-analysis tools give a mixed picture: some “sell” or “strong sell” signals, reflecting volatility and uncertain momentum in the broader crypto market.
🔎 What this means — and what to watch next
The network migration to Base is a big structural change — ZEN’s future price and adoption will likely depend on how well Horizen’s ecosystem develops under Base (projects, dApps, privacy-features, adoption).
Deployment on an EVM-compatible environment lowers the barrier for developers, which could lead to renewed interest — but success depends on execution (real projects using it).
Short-term price action seems modest (oscillating around $9–10), but the potential for upside remains if market conditions and adoption improve.
