ZRO price outlook: Is LayerZero Labs’ $10M token buy just a start?

  • LayerZero (ZRO) price rose sharply to rank among top gainers on November 7, 2025.
  • ZRO price benefited from a $10 million LayerZero Labs token buy.
  • Bulls pushed to intraday highs of $1.87 and could target further upside.

LayerZero’s native token ZRO is trending among top gainers today with double-digit gains.

The token is seeing significant attention amid a volatile cryptocurrency market, with ZRO price buoyed by a strategic move aimed at bolstering the project’s treasury strategy.

Bulls pushed to highs of $1.87 before slipping to around $1.66 as of writing, but could this be the starting of a big move for ZRO?

ZRO price surges after $10 million LayerZero Labs token buy

LayerZero Labs, the team behind the LayerZero protocol, announced a major move on Nov. 7.

It said it had executed a $10 million open-market purchase of its own ZRO tokens, with the fresh buy adding to the company’s balance sheet.

“We at LayerZero Labs believe ZRO is currently one of the most mispriced assets in the world,” the announcement stated, emphasizing the protocol’s central role in facilitating a “once-in-a-generation change in the financial system” through global-scale, permissionless infrastructure.

ZRO had plummeted to a multi-month low of $1.28 earlier in the week.

This came amid a broader crypto downturn and the October 20 token unlock event that released 25.71 million ZRO into circulation.

On Nov. 7, the token experienced a robust rebound. It climbed from lows of $1.43 to $1.87.

Trading volume also spiked dramatically, with over $142 million exchanged across major platforms amid a 190% surge.

The unlock in late October had initially pressured prices, leading to a consolidation phase followed by a sharp dump as bearish sentiment gripped the market.

Bulls can now target gains to $2 or higher if prices hold key support levels in the $1.66-$1.52 region.

More about LayerZero

LayerZero’s proactive intervention signaled strong internal conviction, countering narratives of dilution and restoring faith among holders.

LayerZero now connects over 50 blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and non-EVM networks like Aptos.

This enables seamless omnichain applications for decentralized finance (DeFi) projects such as Stargate Finance and Radiant Capital.

The buyback not only reduces circulating supply marginally but also positions ZRO as a cornerstone for governance and staking rewards, incentivizing long-term participation.

As could be the case, this action could catalyze further accumulation by large holders. The race for cryptocurrency treasury strategies could heat up for ZRO.

ZRO price today

ZRO has maintained its upward trajectory even as it trades at $1.66 and off intraday highs.

Gains of over 13% in the past 24 hours, as of writing, bring the weekly uptick to 8% and cut losses in the past month to 31%.

While in the red on longer time frames, the ZRO price is above a key downtrend line.

This positions the token above its recent support at $1.60, with intraday fluctuations ranging from a low of $1.64 to a high of $1.87.

Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 57, having pivoted from overbought conditions.

Meanwhile, the moving average convergence divergence indicator provides support with a bullish crossover.

NEAR surges 24% as bulls break key resistance

  • NEAR price rose more than 20% to highs of $2.34.
  • The uptick comes amid gains for several altcoins despite ongoing crypto market weakness.
  • Bulls reclaiming the $2 mark could allow them to target $4.6 for a fresh 100% rally.

NEAR Protocol’s native token has skyrocketed 24% in the past 24 hours, shattering a persistent resistance barrier and reigniting investor enthusiasm amid broader cryptocurrency volatility.

NEAR currently trades at $2.27, slightly off the intraday high of $2.34 that marked its highest level since mid-October.

Gains signal a potential shift in sentiment as multiple tokens eye bounce, including Tezos (XTZ).

NEAR price today

NEAR’s bullish performance has seen the token climb from lows of $1.83 to fresh highs of $2.34 in the past three days.

Although the price is slightly off the intraday peak, market data shows aggressive buying.

Per CoinMarketCap data, the token’s daily trading volume increased by over 300% to $753 million.

It’s a significant show of conviction from bulls and the main metric behind the NEAR price breakout.

Ostensibly, the move saw bulls decisively clear the $2.00 psychological resistance, allowing them to target fresh momentum.

This outlook could gain additional tailwinds from parallel developments in the privacy sector.

In particular, this is a market where Zcash (ZEC) has exploded nearly 700% in the past month, drawing renewed attention to shielded transactions and anonymous DeFi.

Zcash’s resurgence is closely tied to NEAR’s innovative Intents protocol, a cross-chain coordination layer that simplifies complex swaps while preserving user privacy.

Privacy is NEAR

Zcash’s official Zashi wallet has deepened its integration with NEAR Intents, enabling seamless on-ramps and off-ramps for shielded ZEC conversions from assets like BTC, SOL, and USDC.

For NEAR, the linkage amplifies its appeal as the “blockchain for AI,” where Intents not only streamlines interoperability but also embeds privacy-by-design features.

As Zcash’s shielded pool nears 30% of its supply, NEAR benefits from the spillover, with ecosystem projects like OceanPal committing $120 million to treasury-backed intents.

Is NEAR price poised for a 100% bounce?

The technical outlook for NEAR paints a decidedly bullish picture, with key indicators aligning for a possible 100% bounce from current levels toward $4.60.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart has surged to 51, hitting neutral territory after dipping into oversold readings of 28 on Nov. 4.

Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram has flipped positive, with the line crossing above the signal.

This suggests a potential bullish divergence, similar to what preceded NEAR’s June-July rally from $1.97 to $3.12.

Trading volume, already elevated, shows sustained spikes, averaging the breakout above $2.00 as genuine rather than a fleeting pump.

A sustained hold above $2.30 could trigger a breakout.

However, downside risks remain as the price hovers near $2.00.

If the confluence of current support fails, bears could push the token’s value well below the psychological mark.

Nonetheless, as Zcash’s boom reflects demand for secure, intent-based DeFi, NEAR stands to benefit from traction.

Tezos price surges 20% to one-month high on Etherlink and RWA momentum

  • Tezos price jumped 20% to $0.69 and could edge higher amid an altcoin bounce.
  • XTZ bulls could target gains to above $1 amid traction for the Layer 2 platform Etherlink.
  • The Tezos price traded above the $1 mark in July 2025.

Tezos (XTZ) is among the standout performers in the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap today, with the token’s price seeing an impressive 20% price surge in 24 hours.

Gains have allowed XTZ bulls to hit highs of $0.69 on November 7, 2025, the highest level in over a month.

While the overall uptick in medium cap altcoins points to Tezos’ price gains, the blockchain platform has notable momentum down to key events within its ecosystem.

Its Layer 2 solution, Etherlink, which continues to drive ecosystem expansion and real-world asset (RWA) integration, boasts yet another milestone.

Gains for XTZ have also come after crypto exchange MEXC added deposits and withdrawals on Etherlink.

Tezos touches multi-week high with 20% spike

Tezos’ XTZ climbed more than 20% to reach a multi-week high of $0.69 during early trading sessions on November 7, 2025.

Key move outlines bullish potential as buyers build from recent consolidation, where XTZ had traded in a narrow range between $0.56 and $0.62 since mid-October.

Notably, bears had taken control as cryptocurrencies began Nov on a losing streak.

XTZ dropped to lows of $0.50, but the price rebounded and retested the $0.60 area before climbing further.

As for what’s next for Tezos, technical indicators reveal a bullish short-term picture.

A crossover in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), with the histogram flipping positive, gives buyers the upper hand.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed to 60, but is not extended into the overbought territory above the 70 threshold. There’s also a possible falling wedge pattern breakout.

If bulls hold onto gains and benefit from an overall market flip upwards, XTZ could eye a retest of July 2025 highs of $1.07.  Above this, buyers may target $1.50.

XTZ gains as Etherlink powers tokenized Uranium trading

Amid Tezos’ latest momentum is bullish adoption news related to Etherlink, its EVM-compatible Layer 2 network.

Etherlink’s traction in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world assets RWA market has reached a new milestone.

The L2 has seen its Total Value Locked (TVL) surge amid strategic integrations, including with Curve Finance for stablecoin liquidity and Lombard’s LBTC Bitcoin liquid staking token.

On November 6, Etherlink gained further traction in the burgeoning tokenized uranium sector.

Uranium.io, a decentralized application powered by Tezos, UK-regulated custodian Archax and uranium trader Curzon, has unveiled the first tokenized physical Uranium asset.

Users across DeFi can now tap into the asset as collateral for loans.

The impact on XTZ could include institutional interest in the Tezos ecosystem amid DeFi and RWA adoption.

Lido adopts Chainlink CCIP to secure cross-chain wstETH transfers across 16+ blockchains

  • Lido is integrating Chainlink’s interoperability standard to power wrapped Staked Ether (wstETH) transfers.
  • The Chainlink cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) is now the official cross-chain infrastructure for wstETH.
  • wstETH will implement CCIP on supported chains in stages.

Lido, a leading liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, has announced a strategic partnership with Chainlink. 

The protocol has adopted the oracle network’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as the official infrastructure for securing all cross-chain transfers of the Lido wrapped staked Ether (wstETH) token. 

Integration comes after the Lido DAO community approved the partnership via snapshot voting

Key details of the Lido and Chainlink partnership

According to details, the partnership leverages the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard to power wstETH transfers. 

It means all future cross-chain operations for wstETH will route through CCIP, replacing native bridges and third-party providers. Chainlink plans to implement this integration progressively across Lido’s 16 supported chains, which include Arbitrum, Base and Linea.

As well as that, there are early deployments on emerging networks, including Plasma, Monad, Ink, and 0G. 

Key benefits and strategic impact

Adopting CCIP unlocks multiple advantages for wstETH holders and DeFi builders. 

CCIP builds on Chainlink’s proven decentralized oracle network that secures over $100 billion in DeFi total value locked.

For wstETH, CCT enables self-serve token deployments, complete DAO ownership of contracts, and programmable features. 

For instance, future-proof expansion supports permissionless onboarding to most top blockchains, while  layered defenses add to security.

Already, Lido’s previous Chainlink integrations, including Data Feeds, power stETH/wstETH adoption across protocols like Aave. 

Lido’s move expands on these features. 

Jakov Buratovic, Master of DeFi at Lido, commented on the integration.

“For stakers, the ability to move assets quickly across the ecosystem is essential for seizing opportunities, rebalancing liquidity, and managing their staked ETH efficiently. By adopting Chainlink CCIP as the official cross-chain standard for wstETH, we’re giving users and builders a standardized, secure way to move wstETH across chains,” Buratovic said.

This partnership positions Lido for greater competitiveness in evolving markets.

Johann Eid, chief business officer at Chainlink Labs, also holds a similar view.

“This integration is set to significantly expand access to wstETH across DeFi, with cross-chain flows secured by Chainlink’s defense-in-depth architecture.”

Lido DAO price outlook

Lido DAO (LDO), the governance token of the Lido liquid-staking protocol, has gained about 5% in the past 24 hours. 

The LDO token gives holders the chance to vote on key protocol decisions such as validator onboarding and protocol upgrades.

The token traded around $0.76, up on the day but still well in the red over the past week and month. However, the token has bounced more than 133% from the all-time lows of $0.3278 reached on October 11, 2025. 

If bulls show resilience amid DeFi resurgence, they could retest the $1 mark.
