The ZORA token (ZORA) has seen a dramatic increase in value, jumping nearly 50% in the last 24 hours and over 118% in the past week. This surge has pushed its market capitalization to $450 million. While there's no single piece of news driving the rally, the sharp price movement suggests a large investor may be accumulating tokens.
On-chain data confirms a major boost in activity, with Sunday seeing the highest number of new coin creations and creators since late July. This follows Zora's integration into the "Base App" discovery flow in mid-July, which has improved retail accessibility.
Adding to the momentum, trading volume for ZORA soared to $284 million on Sunday, up from under $160 million the day before. This spike coincided with major exchanges, like Binance, listing ZORA perpetual contracts. These new contracts allow for leveraged trading, attracting more speculative capital and further fueling the token's rally. The ZORA token was initially launched in April through an airdrop to early users, resulting in a limited number of tokens available for public trading.
