LayerZero Launches ATLAS Exchange Infrastructure as ZRO Jumps 16%
The system lets venues keep their own interfaces while staking ZRO for fee rebates and directing 75% of remaining fees to token burns.
- On Tuesday, LayerZero unveiled ATLAS, a new trading infrastructure serving as a neutral backend for crypto and tokenized markets including stocks, bonds, and commodities.
- Building on its Zero blockchain announced earlier this year with partners including Citadel Securities and Google Cloud, LayerZero is moving deeper into trading infrastructure from its cross-chain bridging business.
- Rather than offering a consumer app, ATLAS provides two configurations: Open ATLAS targets crypto trading apps and prediction markets, while Institutional ATLAS lets financial firms set their own market rules.
- LayerZero's ZRO token surged more than 30% following the announcement, with 75% of remaining fees used to buy and burn the native token, strengthening its link to trading activity.
- The expansion follows a rough patch for LayerZero's cross-chain business after attackers stole about $292 million from a Kelp DAO LayerZero-powered bridge in April, prompting protocol departures.
