Recent Important News on ESP:
1️⃣ Token Launch and Airdrop Policy Initiation
The ESP token was officially launched recently, accompanied by a 10% airdrop plan. As a milestone following the Espresso Network mainnet launch, the token release with large-scale airdrops may cause a rapid increase in initial market supply, putting downward pressure on the price. Additionally, the airdrop provides a low-cost entry point for new ecosystem participants, but may also trigger short-term cash-out behaviors, which are related to the 12.35% decline over the past 24 hours.
2️⃣ Intensified Competition in Layer 2 Scaling Ecosystem
Espresso Network aims to support Layer 2 scaling solutions such as rollups, Validiums, L2, and L3 on Ethereum and other chains, at a time when Layer 2 solutions are gaining market attention. The competitive landscape is complex, with multiple mainstream players vying for cross-chain infrastructure dominance. Market evaluation of different solutions is still in exploration, which may limit valuation recognition for new ESP projects entering the space.
3️⃣ Staking Mechanism and Ecosystem Incentives
The ESP token’s staking function is now open, allowing stakers to unlock enhanced staking rewards. As an infrastructure project, its value capture depends on real usage demand and participation within the ecosystem. In the early stages, while staking provides incentives for holding tokens, actual adoption and network effects need time to develop. Short-term market valuation of this mechanism remains uncertain.

Zcash Price Prediction: Major Holders Sell 38% in 7 Days, ZEC Technical Pattern Indicates 66% Downside Potential
February 13 News, Privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash has recently come under significant pressure. In the past 24 hours, its price has dropped by approximately 7%, and over the past week, large holders' holdings have decreased by about 38%, triggering strong concerns about the medium-term trend. Although the asset still rebounded by around 5.8% within a week, the monthly decline has exceeded 40%, with volatility significantly amplified.
On-chain data shows that although there was a brief net outflow of funds on February 12, indicating some low-level accumulation, subsequent inflows of tokens related to exchanges continued to increase, suggesting that more Zcash is moving from private wallets into circulating addresses. This structural change is often interpreted as a potential sell pressure signal. Meanwhile, the top 100 addresses still control about 70% of the total supply, indicating a high concentration of holdings, which makes the price more susceptible to large holder actions.
