SOL Slides, ADA Steadies as ZKP Enters Stage 2 with 190M Daily Tokens in Presale

The start of 2026 has seen a more reflective market tone, with Solana registering a sharp pullback attributed to broader macro pressure and Cardano stabilizing near long-term support as traders favor defensive positioning ^[1].

Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) moved into Stage 2 of its presale auction, with reports indicating a daily token distribution of 190 million tokens during this phase ^{[1] [6]}.

The ZKP presale has been accompanied by a promotional campaign, including a reported $5 million giveaway, which outlets say has generated increased user participation and drawn traders’ attention to the offering ^{[4] [5]}.

At the same time, major-cap digital assets showed muted volatility: coverage noted tightening or holding patterns in Ethereum and Dogecoin price action amid the broader subdued market backdrop ^{[5] [6]}.

Overall, reporting indicates a cautious market environment where asset-specific developments — such as Solana’s pullback, Cardano’s defensive footing, and ZKP’s active presale stage and promotions — are driving pockets of attention within otherwise restrained conditions ^{[1] [5]}.
