ZKsync is building an institutional-focused settlement layer. This infrastructure is gaining real-world adoption among financial institutions and sovereign entities. Recently, some exchanges have processed over $135 billion in transactions on it — a number that has been growing since the mainnet launch in 2024. These platforms are reshaping the infrastructure landscape for institutional-grade crypto trading through a hybrid model that combines off-chain matching with on-chain clearing.

1350 billion? That number sounds impressive, but I still have some doubts about the actual trading volume... Institutional-grade infrastructure has been talked about for years. --- Hybrid mode is indeed clever. The strategy of off-chain matching and on-chain clearing has been used in TradFi before. It's a bit late now that it's coming to crypto. --- Can ZK really win over institutions this time? It mainly depends on gas fees and confirmation speed. Just listen to the 1350 billion number. --- Sovereign entities are getting on board? That’s definitely something, but can they pass the regulatory hurdle... --- Since the mainnet went live, the number has been steadily increasing. That sounds a bit too idealistic; I don’t believe there are no fluctuations. --- Institutional-grade settlement sounds high-end, but honestly, it’s still about competing with CEXs for market share. Who will win is still uncertain.

135 billion dollars? I need to look at this number again... zkSync is really serious about its work In the institutional-grade infrastructure sector, it feels like we're just getting started Off-chain matching + on-chain clearing, to put it simply, it's still that old logic. How can it reshape the landscape? Just a year since the mainnet launched, and this scale—no hype, no blackening, it’s truly impressive It feels like another wave of infrastructure beneficiaries is about to rise... If it can operate stably, this is indeed a big deal By the way, is this 135 billion real transactions or just volume washing... ZKsync’s hand is quite good, and institutional buy-in is the most critical Hybrid mode sounds good, but I really don’t know how it works in practice Financial institutions and sovereign entities coming in at the same time—this signal is a bit intense

135 billion USD in transactions, now that's the real application implementation.

The institution's bottom-fishing phase has arrived. The figure of 135 billion looks intimidating, but it only becomes valuable once it actually materializes.

135 billion dollars? This is the real institutional-grade infrastructure, unlike some projects that just hype concepts all day long. --- The combination of off-chain matching + on-chain clearing is still the best; it balances efficiency and security. --- Since the mainnet went live, it has been rising continuously. This is what real application data speaks for. --- A truly institutional-level settlement layer should be done like this. ZKsync has taken the right path. --- 135 billion in transaction volume... now that's something. --- What does the hybrid model solve? Efficiency issues or cost problems? --- Institutions are voting with their feet; numbers don't lie. --- Sovereign entities are starting to use it? That makes this narrative even bigger. --- After all the hype about the settlement layer, finally seeing real data in black and white.

$135 billion? Wow, that's quite a number, but honestly, I still have some reservations about this institutional-level approach.

hypothesis: zksync's hybrid settlement model is basically the silk road of crypto — off-chain matching as the caravan routes, on-chain settlement as the final ledger. 1350B in volume tho? that's not just scaling, that's institutional adoption actually *happening*

135 billion? That number sounds intimidating, but how many institutions actually use it?

The scale of 135 billion is still accelerating. This trajectory is no longer a small rocket; the escape velocity of the leverage liquidation layer is about to break through the atmosphere.
