Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) Launches Unprecedented Daily Presale Auction, Aims for $7B+ Raise

Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) has launched what is being described as the largest project in crypto history, introducing a novel daily presale auction model. The project entered the market with a self-funded development war chest of $100 million and is now running a unique Initial Coin Auction (ICA) format.

The presale operates on a fixed-supply, variable-demand formula, releasing 200 million tokens every 24 hours. The final price for each day is determined by dividing the total daily demand by the fixed token supply, with all buyers in that round receiving the same settlement price. This model is designed to eliminate private rounds, insider allocations, and discount tiers, creating transparent price discovery.

Analysts are forecasting a total raise exceeding $7 billion. The project's scale is bolstered by $17 million in proof pod hardware inventory and $20 million invested in infrastructure. The auction's price progression is expected to follow a predictable upward curve as demand increases, with examples showing potential climbs from $0.05 to over $0.50. Early participants are positioned for significant upside, with a Day 1 entry at $0.05 potentially yielding a 7x profit if the token lists at a later benchmark price of $0.35.

Separately, the news also covers developments for other major cryptocurrencies. The Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem has confirmed a major 2026 upgrade for Shibarium, integrating Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) from Zama to enable on-chain privacy and confidential smart contracts, with a public testnet live on Ethereum Sepolia. Additionally, crypto educator Mason Versluis has made a bold long-term forecast for XRP, suggesting its price could surpass $1,000 driven by Ripple's institutional adoption for cross-border payments.
