LayerZero ZRO token market activity
Entities: Binance · Spartan Group · NEAR Protocol · LayerZero · ZRO token
Overview
On 20 July 2026, LayerZero began unlocking 25.71 million ZRO tokens – about 2.36 % of total supply and worth roughly $20 million at $0.79‑$0.81 each. The release was split between strategic partners (≈13 million tokens) and core contributors (≈10.6 million tokens) under a three‑year vesting schedule.
In the week that followed, ZRO price fell more than 11 % amid heightened liquidations and the unlock. By 27 July 2026 the token rebounded sharply, climbing over 10 % in a single day. The rally coincided with large transfers of roughly 1.2 million ZRO (about $1.13 million) from wallets linked to LayerZero’s Mint MultiSig and the Spartan Group to Binance. Open interest in ZRO futures rose to a multi‑week high, suggesting fresh capital inflow, while a partnership with Near Protocol lifted social‑media chatter. Nevertheless, analysts remained cautious due to a bearish market structure and proximity to key technical support levels.
