LayerZero's performance grid shows the asset gained 11.12% over the last 24 hours, with the 7-day picture 6.20% lower and the 30-day frame 1.90% higher. Over the trailing 365 days, the asset has delivered gains of 0.00%, against a weakening multi-horizon backdrop.
The asset currently trades 88.4% below its all-time high — a deep drawdown in which momentum and liquidity flows have, historically, driven price more than any pull back toward the mean. 30-day realized volatility sits at 67% annualized — high territory for a crypto asset of this size.
On the liquidity side, LayerZero presents deep order books and broad exchange coverage. 24-hour trading volume represents 5.464% of market capitalization — our liquidity-health composite scores this as Deep (90/100). Turnover at this level runs hot versus large-cap norms — usually a marker of intense trader attention.
The 90-day Pearson correlation of ZRO's daily returns versus Bitcoin's is +0.28 — a weak positive relationship. LayerZero tracks Bitcoin only weakly, which makes it a comparatively useful diversifier among crypto holdings.

Per the STNews methodology, the projection above is built from three separate models:
- Technical model projects ranges from moving-average, ATR, Bollinger band and trend-slope inputs — useful when the asset is in a clean trending or ranging regime.
- Statistical (Monte Carlo) model samples the last 90 days of daily log returns to map the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile outcomes at each horizon, giving a trend-agnostic baseline.
- Peer-relative model looks at same-category, similar-cap coins and projects the price implied by matching their median, lower-quartile and upper-quartile return profiles, anchoring the forecast to sector behaviour.
The ensemble forecast shown is a weighted average (40% statistical · 30% technical · 30% peer-relative). The confidence badge reflects how closely the three models agree: tighter agreement → higher confidence; wider disagreement → lower confidence, indicating that the asset is in a regime where statistical models alone are unreliable.
Cross-asset correlations (90d)
Pearson correlation of daily log returns vs top L1 references
Beyond Bitcoin, ZRO's 90-day return correlations to the other two largest layer-1 references help characterize whether the asset moves as part of a crypto-market beta complex or as something more idiosyncratic. The Pearson correlations across daily log returns:
- Bitcoin reference: +0.18 — a minimal positive relationship.
- Ethereum reference: +0.13 — a minimal positive relationship.
- Solana reference: +0.18 — a minimal positive relationship.
When an asset correlates strongly with multiple majors, it is trading largely as market beta — the big caps set the direction and standalone outperformance is elusive. Weak or negative correlations instead signal idiosyncratic forces (its own news, sector rotation, narrative changes) capable of producing returns the broader market does not share.
About LayerZero
LayerZero (ZRO) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $0.8699 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move up 11.12%, placing it at rank #127 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. LayerZero's current market cap stands at $215.44M, a figure used by traders, analysts and institutional desks to gauge relative liquidity and risk exposure across the crypto market.
On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking LayerZero across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.
LayerZero focuses on connecting blockchains. As liquidity and applications fragment across many chains, LayerZero provides the rails to move value and data between them, with the token underpinning that infrastructure.
By market value, LayerZero sits at rank #222 — a mid-cap asset in the broad top 250. Only about 25% of the eventual ZRO supply is circulating so far (247.67M of 1.00B), so future unlocks remain a meaningful dilution variable. It currently trades about 88% below its all-time high of $7.51 set in December 2024.
By market value LayerZero (ZRO) ranks in the broad top 250, trading at $0.8698690 as of the latest snapshot. ZRO is +11.12% over 24 hours, -6.20% over the past week, +1.90% over 30 days, putting it among the weekly underperformers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. LayerZero remains roughly 88% beneath its all-time high of $7.51, a level first printed in December 2024. Only 25% of ZRO's eventual supply (247.67M of 1.00B) is currently in circulation — meaningful future dilution is built into the schedule and should be factored into long-term valuation.
Daily volume runs at about 11.7% of market capitalisation, in line with the active-trading band for a coin of this size.
How it works — LayerZero
LayerZero operates cross-chain infrastructure: validators, relayers, or a messaging protocol verify events on one chain and reproduce them on another, with the token used as collateral, governance, or fees. Because bridges concentrate value in transit, their security model is the single most important property — historically the most-exploited surface in all of crypto.
By market value, LayerZero sits at rank #222 — a mid-cap asset in the broad top 250. Only about 25% of the eventual ZRO supply is circulating so far (247.67M of 1.00B), so future unlocks remain a meaningful dilution variable. It currently trades about 88% below its all-time high of $7.51 set in December 2024. Its fully-diluted valuation of $797.59M is about 3.7× the circulating market cap of $215.44M, a gap that signals issuance overhang to factor into any longer-term thesis.
Use cases — LayerZero
The main uses of LayerZero are moving assets and messages across chains, supplying liquidity to bridge routes, and governing or securing the protocol. Its traction is best read as the share of cross-chain volume it captures versus rival bridges.
Daily turnover is unusually high at roughly 12% of market cap ($25.14M traded in 24 hours), the kind of liquidity that reflects an active news or trading cycle.
Tokenomics
Supply schedule & distribution
- Circulating supply: 247.67M ZRO — tokens actively trading and held by the public
- Total supply: 1.00B ZRO — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
- Max supply: 1.00B ZRO — the protocol-defined upper limit (if any) on lifetime issuance
- Issued to date: 24.8% of max supply
- Locked / treasury: 75.2% of total supply
LayerZero's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.
Supply economics
Issuance pressure, dilution, and structural value accrual
To read LayerZero's tokenomics, look at the issuance schedule, the share of supply already in circulation, and the gap between market cap and fully-diluted valuation. Only 24.8% of maximum supply is currently circulating, meaning future emissions remain a meaningful source of structural sell pressure. Issuance velocity and unlock schedules become important variables in any longer-term thesis. The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $0.8 billion stands at 3.7× the current circulating market cap of $0.2 billion. The wider this ratio, the more issuance overhang the asset faces — a structural headwind on valuation that mature assets like Bitcoin do not face but that early-cycle assets typically do.
The question that matters for a longer-term view is simple: does value accrual (burns, staking-yield reinvestment, deflationary mechanics, growing ecosystem TVL) run ahead of new issuance, or behind it? Ahead, and price can compound quietly; behind, and it leans on continuous fresh demand to soak up the supply.
Trader's note
Coin-type-aware tactical interpretation
For LayerZero, the single most important diligence item is security: cross-chain bridges have suffered some of the largest exploits in crypto, because one contract or validator-set compromise can drain assets in transit. The token's adoption tracks how much cross-chain volume flows through it versus rival bridges.
Price Strength reads bearish (31/100). Beyond market risk, weigh the protocol's security track record, the degree of centralisation in its design, and competitive pressure from other interoperability stacks — any of which can re-rate the token on protocol-specific news.

Market sentiment
Crypto Fear & Greed Index · alternative.me
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 41 — Fear.
Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.
Macro & cross-asset context
How macro liquidity and cross-asset moves frame the trade
The macro picture for digital assets turns on three levers — Federal Reserve policy, the path of dollar liquidity, and broad risk sentiment. Historically the whole asset class has tracked the global liquidity cycle closely, expanding in easing regimes and contracting when financial conditions tighten.
A handful of traditional gauges tend to lead or confirm crypto moves: the dollar index (strength is a headwind), the 10-year yield (the price of risk capital), gold (an occasional fellow-traveller in debasement trades), and the S&P 500 (which often moves with crypto when liquidity, not fundamentals, is in the driver's seat).
For LayerZero specifically, the macro variable that has empirically led price most often is global crypto-market liquidity — proxied by stablecoin total supply, futures open interest, and exchange volumes. When these expand, ZRO tends to follow; when they contract, the relationship typically reverses. With a comparatively loose 90-day BTC correlation of +0.18, ZRO has shown more idiosyncratic price behaviour than the average large-cap — its own catalysts can matter as much as the broad liquidity tide.
Risks
Few categories carry heavier tail risk: bridges hold value in transit, so one contract bug or validator-set compromise has repeatedly drained nine-figure sums. Layer on competition from other bridges, ordinary smart-contract risk, and the centralisation many designs retain — and the security track record becomes the first thing to scrutinise.
