A sponsored article from CryptoComLearn puts Zero Knowledge Proof, or ZKP, at the center of its 2026 thesis, claiming the project could deliver a 7000x return while arguing that Ethereum and Chainlink now offer slower upside. The piece says Phase 2 of the ZKP presale auction, described as the “Reward Peak,” began on January 24 with a daily supply of 190 million tokens before tighter issuance rules take effect.
ZKP pitch leans on fundraising, infrastructure, and auction timing
According to the article, ZKP is positioned as an AI-focused framework backed by $100 million in private funding, with $17 million spent on physical machines for network protection. It also states that the token price has already moved from $0.0002 to $0.0008. The article adds a projected target of $1.7 billion. Those figures appear as part of the promotional narrative, and the original post carries a disclaimer stating that it is sponsored content and not financial advice.
Chainlink section highlights technical levels and ETF launch
For Chainlink, the article says LINK is trading between $13.15 and $14.14, holding above its 20-day trend line, while the MACD histogram stands at 0.1719. It says a break above the $13.61 barrier on strong volume could open a path toward $15.50 by late January. The piece also mentions the debut of the Bitwise Chainlink ETF on the New York Stock Exchange with $2.59 million in initial capital, and cites a year-end bullish target of $45.00.
Ethereum comparison focuses on volume, price levels, and staking
The Ethereum portion centers on market activity and locked supply. The article places ETH in a range of $3,290 to $3,318 and says daily volume reached a record 2.8 million on January 15, up 125% from a year earlier. It adds that traders are watching the $3,388 200-day line, with a move above $3,400 described as a possible trigger for a 15% gain. The same article says 35.9 million ETH are currently staked, representing 30% of supply, and lists Bitmine’s staked position at $6 billion.
Original post ends with a sponsorship disclaimer
The source concludes with links to the project website, auction page, X account, and Telegram channel. It also explicitly says the material is sponsored, for informational purposes only, does not reflect the views of 36crypto, and should not be treated as investment advice. Based on the material itself, the piece is best read as a promotional comparison built around ZKP’s auction phase and price narrative rather than an independently reported market analysis.
