Optimism price remains steady today at around $0.1772, fluctuating between $0.1751 and $0.1853 over the past 24 hours. The slight increase follows Optimism’s announcement of a partnership with Succinct Labs to integrate zero-knowledge validity proofs into the OP Stack, which will transform withdrawal processes across the Superchain.
Price action, however, remains measured. Buyers have defended the lower end of the daily range, but momentum has yet to expand.
Optimism Formalizes ZK Integration With Succinct
Optimism announced Succinct as its first preferred ZK proving partner, making OP Succinct canonical for OP Stack rollups. OP Mainnet, which secures roughly $2 billion in total value locked, will integrate OP Succinct in the coming months.
The upgrade replaces the standard seven-day challenge window used by optimistic rollups with cryptographic validity proofs. Withdrawals that once required a week move toward minute-level finality.
For custody providers and market makers, that reduces capital lockups. Treasury operations gain faster settlement. The change directly addresses the structural friction that has limited institutional capital mobility across L2s.
Succinct’s proving system already secures billions in TVL. With OP Mainnet integrating, its coverage extends to 90% of the rollup market by total value secured, spanning chains such as Base, Unichain, Ink, Mantle, and Celo.
OP Succinct converts OP Stack chains into Type-1 zkEVMs while preserving modular architecture. Optimism has positioned the move as part of a broader multi-proof future in which chains can, over time, select prover networks.
Analysts Spot Bullish Divergence as OP Holds Support
Optimism price remains well below its all-time high of $4.85 from March 2024 and is just 9% above its recent all-time low of $0.1621, recorded earlier this month. On the chart, the OP price recently moved toward the $0.175 level before stabilizing. The session high at $0.1853 defines near-term resistance.
Michael van de Poppe highlighted small bullish divergences appearing across multiple altcoin charts, including OP. In the Optimism coin case, price pressed lower while underlying momentum showed early stabilization, a classic bullish divergence on the candles.
There is no confirmation yet, as the broader trend still slopes downward. But divergence often signals that selling pressure is thinning, even as prices print marginal lows.
With volume contracting, conviction remains limited. A sustained move back above $0.1853 would be required to shift short-term structure. Until then, Optimism price continues to trade in consolidation, with early technical stabilization emerging against a backdrop of structural ZK upgrades.
