The CLARITY Act Isn't a Bank vs. Crypto Fight. It's a Test of America's Ambition
The CLARITY Act isn't banks vs. crypto — it's about whether the U.S. builds digital financial infrastructure that works for everyone, including community banks.

We're excited to announce that $ZK, the native token of ZKsync — the institutional privacy and settlement network on Ethereum — is now available on Revolut, Europe's largest fintech.
With over 70 million users globally, Revolut is one of the most trusted digital banking platforms in the world. The availability brings $ZK directly into the hands of 15M retail users across the UK and EEA, enabling them to access $ZK with 0% FX fees, seamless fiat onramps, within the convenience of a regulated finance app.
This moment reflects a broader shift already underway.
Across the financial system, institutions are moving onchain. Not as an experiment, but as a transition toward more efficient, programmable, and globally interoperable finance. ZKsync has been building for this shift, enabling private execution, selective disclosure, and settlement anchored to Ethereum, with strong adoption already underway. As the $100 trillion global banking system evolves toward programmable settlement, $ZK underpins and captures the economic activity of this emerging network.
The availability of $ZK on Revolut expands access to this network connecting retail users to the same underlying infrastructure that institutions are rapidly adopting.

April 18's $290M loss at Kelp DAO came with a remarkable statement: the protocol worked exactly as designed. That sentence is the entire argument banks need to understand before choosing tokenized infrastructure — because some systems sold as blockchains are, underneath, just wires. And wires fail open.
