The post ZKsync Eyes Institutional Flows with ZK Utility Pivot appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pivot: Founder Alex Gluchowski proposed shifting $ZK from governance to a fee-capturing utility token. The Model: Revenue from cross-chain messaging and enterprise licenses would fund token buybacks. The Goal: To monetize the “ZK Gateway” as a unified settlement layer for institutional finance. ZKsync founder Alex Gluchowski has proposed a new utility token model for the innovative Ethereum-based protocol. In his latest post on X, the renowned innovator highlighted various aspects of digital finance that he believes need to be improved upon, while outlining a proposed solution to those needs.

According to him, the lack of a shared, verifiable coordination layer forces them to reconcile data across many systems, driving operational cost, risk, and delays. These are the problems that he is aiming to resolve through the newly proposed ZK token utility model. Gluchowski’s latest proposal, ZK Interop, aims to become the foundation for direct institutional connectivity. The renowned innovator describes it as a game-changer, with implications that extend far beyond payments. For instance, the solution can synchronize multi-bank instructions and acknowledgments in treasury and express authorization and clearing messages as verifiable receipts in card networks. According to Gluchowski, the ZK Interop can collapse costly, multi-step post-trade confirmations and settlement processes into verifiable, near-atomic events between chains when dealing with securities, and… The post ZKsync Eyes Institutional Flows with ZK Utility Pivot appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
