ZRO, the governance token of omnichain interoperability protocol LayerZero, surged more than 20% after news broke that “Money Tree Sister” Cathie Wood had joined its advisory board.
According to crypto-focused outlet Benzinga on February 11 (local time), ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood officially joined the advisory board of LayerZero Labs, expressing her commitment to accelerating interoperability innovation across the digital asset ecosystem. Announcing her appointment, Wood stated, “There has never been a better opportunity,” signaling unprecedented confidence in the protocol’s technological potential. Following the announcement, LayerZero (ZRO) skyrocketed more than 20%, shaking up the market.
LayerZero is an omnichain protocol designed to connect different blockchain networks into one unified system and is regarded as a key technology for addressing fragmentation in the digital asset market. While Wood has maintained an aggressive investment philosophy toward major assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), her participation as an advisor to a specific protocol is viewed as highly unusual. Market analysts believe her involvement could accelerate LayerZero’s entry into the institutional arena and serve as a powerful catalyst for attracting institutional capital.
Wood evaluated LayerZero as possessing unique technological capabilities capable of breaking down barriers between blockchains and realizing a truly integrated Web3 ecosystem. She expressed particular confidence that LayerZero’s messaging technology, which secures both security and efficiency, will drive the democratization of financial services. ARK Invest already manages a variety of crypto-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and Wood’s decision is seen as closely tied to the firm’s strategy to further diversify its future investment portfolio.
LayerZero Labs CEO Bryan Pellegrino welcomed Wood’s appointment, stating that her involvement would generate tremendous synergy for the protocol’s growth. He emphasized that Wood’s financial insight would serve as a key milestone in establishing LayerZero as a global standard. ZRO is currently experiencing strong buying pressure and attempting to break through major resistance levels, while trading volume has surged compared to the previous day, underscoring intense market enthusiasm.
The digital asset market is witnessing growing direct participation at the protocol level by influential figures like Cathie Wood, enhancing technological credibility. LayerZero plans to continue expanding partnerships with various blockchain networks to solidify its dominance in the omnichain ecosystem. As Wood’s advisory role gains momentum, expectations are rising for practical use cases of the ZRO token and the potential launch of institutional-grade financial products. Investors should closely monitor LayerZero’s technical updates and ARK Invest’s additional moves to formulate appropriate response strategies.
