In June 2025, the cryptocurrency market witnessed a thrilling black swan event: the native Token ZKJ of Polyhedra Network experienced a flash crash on the Binance Alpha platform, plummeting from $1.946 to $0.3767, with a maximum daily fall of 80.64%, and nearly $100 million in liquidations across the network. This incident not only exposed the fragility of the liquidity structure of altcoins but also prompted investors to reassess the true value and technological potential of ZKJ.
As of June 23, Gate.io exchange data shows that the ZKJ price continues its fall trend, currently reported at 0.2368 USD, with a market cap maintained around 76 million USD. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of ZKJ’s future trends based on data from the Gate platform, combining technical aspects and ecological developments.
On June 15, 2025, at 20:30 (UTC+8), ZKJ and KOGE Tokens experienced a “domino effect crash” on the Binance Alpha platform. On-chain analyst AI Aunt (@ai_9684xtpa) tracked the coordinated actions of three key addresses:
The sudden depletion of the liquidity pool triggered a panic sell-off, with ZKJ trading volume surging by 320% within two hours, but the price still experienced a big dump of 80%.
The underlying causes point directly to the flaws in Binance’s Alpha point mechanism — users have been long-term trading the ZKJ/KOGE trading pair to inflate trading volume points, creating “false liquidity.” When large investors withdraw funds, breaking the narrow price range, there is a lack of real buying support, ultimately triggering a chain collapse. Additionally, the unlocking of 15.53 million tokens (accounting for 5.04% of the circulating supply, valued at approximately 30.3 million USD) on June 19 may be a significant reason for the further pressure on ZKJ’s price.
After the flash crash, ZKJ shows typical “high volatility repair” characteristics (based on Gate exchange data):
On-chain data further supports that market confidence has been undermined: the number of active addresses holding ZKJ decreased by 12% within 24 hours (according to Glassnode data), and the trend of funds migrating to stablecoins increased by 10%. Coupled with a 1.8% drop in the S&P 500 index on the same day, institutions are reducing exposure to high-risk crypto assets, and inflows into crypto ETFs have decreased by 15%.
Setting aside price fluctuations, the technical architecture of Polyhedra Network remains competitive:
In terms of ecological progress, after the listing of the ZKJ/USDT trading pair on Gate.io, Polyhedra’s liquidity increased by 40%. Its wallet supports account abstraction (AA) and multi-chain asset management, with a user experience rating of 4.7/5. If the progress of ecological application implementation exceeds expectations, it could become a catalyst for price recovery.
Based on Gate historical data and industry analysis, the market shows polarized views on ZKJ’s trend in 2025:
predict direction | Core logic | Target range | possibility |
---|---|---|---|
bullish expectation | The expansion of technology applications drives valuation recovery. | 1.2 - 2.5 | low |
bearish expectation | Liquidity risk and unlocking selling pressure | 0.3 - 0.9 | high |
In the short term, focus on the trading depth of the ZKJ Token on the Gate platform. If the selling pressure is successfully digested, a technical rebound may occur in the third quarter.
For investors with different risk preferences, the Gate platform offers differentiated operation paths:
The future of ZKJ is like a metaphor for zero-knowledge proof technology: the truth is hidden in an encrypted black box, waiting for the market to gradually validate it. In the short term, the unlocking of selling pressure and liquidity recovery creates a “long-short double kill” pattern; in the long term, its zkBridge still has room for imagination in the technical barriers of Web3 interoperability. Investors should take the depth of the Gate platform as a weather vane and strictly control their positions within the risk tolerance range, seeking a balance between technological revolution and market bubble.
