LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol that allows different blockchains to communicate smoothly without intermediaries, supporting safe and efficient cross-chain asset transfers. The project has integrated with hundreds of chains like Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, and focuses on DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. With the ZRO token used for governance and staking, LayerZero is expanding its ecosystem through updates like V2 and new integrations, helping TVL grow steadily. From early 2026, ZRO has consistently grown about 39% in the past month, reaching ~1.95 USD, despite the volatility in the crypto market. The main reasons are: Token unlock of 25.71M ZRO (6.36% supply) on 20/1/2026 did not trigger a sell-off but was strongly absorbed due to high demand from investors, trading volume surged, and the technical indicators are bullish (such as potential EMA crossover). While BTC dropped below 90K USD due to geopolitical tensions and the US-EU trade war, ZRO went against the trend thanks to its inherent strength: improved market structure, open interest in futures increased by 30%, and high confidence from the community, turning the unlock into a positive catalyst. Prediction: ZRO could reach 2.65 USD by the end of the month if it maintains momentum, but the risk of the next unlock needs to be monitored. Short-term bullish! #LayerZero #ZRO #CryptoAnalysis
