LayerZero underperforms all other major crypto assets. According to CMC data, @LayerZero_Core's $ZRO token is down nearly -13% in the past week. This makes it the worst performing asset among the top-100 tokens on CMC, followed by @Stable and @Aptos. All three of these assets however are up over the past 24 hours.

LayerZero just launched its own Exchange model @LayerZero_Core deploys ATLAS (Aggregated Trading Liquidity and Settlement), an “unhosted” exchange model that unifies matching, clearing, and risk management into one cohesive system. Built on Zero Chain technology, LayerZero’s ATLAS protocol is designed from the start to handle 200,000 transactions per second with sub-millisecond latency. It targets the $4.7 quadrillion securities settlements market currently served by legacy titans such as DTCC. ATLAS is available as both the Open and Institutional ATLAS variants and enables global markets to provide 24/7 markets in RWA, FX, and derivatives while retaining verifiable self-custody.

LATEST: ⚡️ LayerZero announced ATLAS, which will let trading platforms run their own exchange venues by combining matching, clearing, settlement and risk into one engine, set to launch later this year.
