Gate News Bot Message, December 29th, according to CoinMarketCap data, as of press time, ZKC (Boundless) is currently trading at $0.14, up 20.72% in the past 24 hours, with a high of $0.15 and a low of $0.10. The 24-hour trading volume reached $43.1 million. The current market capitalization is approximately $31 million, an increase of $5.32 million from yesterday.
Important recent news about ZKC:
1️⃣ Launch of Fully Decentralized Network Phase
The shutdown of Risc Zero’s official hosted proof service marks the beginning of a new phase of full decentralization for the Boundless network. Proof requests are now handled by independent nodes within the Boundless network instead of centralized third-party services, aligning the proof mechanism with the blockchain’s resilience and neutrality features. This upgrade enhances the network’s autonomy and reliability, reinforcing investor confidence in the project’s long-term development.
2️⃣ Optimization of Open Proof Market Competition Mechanism
Through mechanisms like verifiable Proof of Work (PoVW), Boundless has created a highly competitive proof provider market environment. Independent nodes are rewarded based on actual computational work, incentivizing proof providers to improve efficiency and reduce costs. This allows all connected chains to access more efficient and user-friendly zero-knowledge proof services. The market-driven incentive mechanism improves the network’s economic efficiency.
3️⃣ Technical Recovery After Oversold and Resurgence of Market Attention
Following a price retracement of over 80% after the TGE, ZKC has recently surged strongly, with approximately a 30% increase in the past 24 hours. The current circulating market cap is about $27 million, but the daily trading volume has exceeded $90 million, with significant trading activity, reflecting a clear increase in short-term investor interest. As a general zero-knowledge computing protocol, Boundless provides scalable and verifiable computing power for multiple blockchains through its decentralized proof network. This aligns with the current market trend of rising interest in “privacy computing” and “ZK infrastructure.” The project has also received funding support from institutions such as Blockchain Capital, Bain Capital Crypto, and Delphi Ventures, and has established partnerships with Ethereum Foundation, Wormhole, EigenLayer, among others. Its current market cap is relatively low, making it an important driver for some funds to participate in the rebound.

Can altcoins rebound in Q1 2026? Data reveals the end of the sell-off and potential turning points
February 12 News, as the first quarter of 2026 approaches its end, whether altcoins still have a rebound opportunity has become a focal point of market attention. Currently, sentiment remains weak, with most altcoins in a deep correction phase. Analytical firm Swissblock pointed out that its altcoin pulse signals show that although there are signs of slowing downward momentum, no clear reversal signals have appeared yet, and a full recovery is still unlikely in the short term.
From on-chain and price structure perspectives, since Bitcoin broke below a key threshold in mid-January, selling pressure on altcoins has significantly increased, and capital outflows have accelerated. Meanwhile, only a very few altcoins remain above the 200-day moving average, indicating that most projects are still in a downtrend channel. Technical analysis shows that a bullish signal would only be confirmed if the positive signal line crosses above the negative momentum line in the future, which could bring new bullish clues to the market.

Tom Lee warns that gold may have peaked. Can Bitcoin become the next focus of capital?
February 12 News, Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee recently stated that after a strong rally, gold prices are approaching a cyclical high, and the market may soon see a new round of capital rotation. He believes that if risk aversion cools and risk appetite increases, some capital may re-focus on Bitcoin, thereby reigniting the discussion of "which has more long-term value, gold or Bitcoin."
Looking back over the past year, the global financial environment has remained volatile, with geopolitical tensions and inflation pressures recurring, making gold the primary safe-haven choice. Data shows that gold has increased by as much as 73% this year, attracting significant institutional and retail investment. In contrast, Bitcoin has fallen about 29 during the same period, under pressure from regulatory uncertainties and profit-taking. This stark divergence has reshaped the global asset allocation landscape.
