Ethereum and XRP are experiencing varied market performances amid ongoing volatility. Ethereum's price has declined by 25% from $2,680 in 2024 to $1,985 in November 2025, despite significant upgrades such as the Shanghai release. In contrast, XRP has surged 66% from $0.56 to $0.93, fueled by ETF speculation and cross-border payment partnerships. Meanwhile, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is emerging with a self-funded model, boasting a $100 million infrastructure and on-chain auctions. ZKP aims to differentiate itself by focusing on real utility, transparency, and community involvement, setting itself apart from more speculative projects like Ethereum and XRP.
