Recently, the combination of zero-knowledge proofs and artificial intelligence has started to make a big splash. This pairing could truly change the bottleneck of computational efficiency in blockchain. But there's a catch—current real-world cases are still few and far between, more like a child taking its first steps. The true validation period should be in the next two years. Don't get blinded by FOMO; observe and wait.

DOGE is currently facing the $0.128 hurdle. Historically, this price level was a springboard for rebounds in 2023, but the situation has completely changed now. Elon Musk-related hot topics are cooling down, and the rotation of altcoins is also starting to weaken. If you plan to chase the trend, you need to first understand the flow of funds; otherwise, you'll risk buying high and getting caught.

In contrast, XLM is quietly accumulating. Several Southeast Asian countries are testing Stellar's cross-border payment systems, which is different from projects that only talk about stories. Although its active user count doesn't match some major projects, real transaction volume is a hard indicator. The problem is, similar "practicality" prospects have been talked about for nearly a year without market ignition. Will this time truly see it land?

As for risks, these projects all have areas worth cautioning. ZK technology might hit a computational bottleneck when scaled up, DOGE's price volatility is often heavily influenced by market sentiment and easily swayed by speculation, and XLM's "practical story" still lacks endorsement from large-scale user validation. It could turn into just a concept hype.

Looking ahead to the end of 2025, it will be a watershed moment. Tech-driven investors should focus on the progress of ZK development, keep an eye on short-term price support levels, and for those aiming to buy the dip—wait and see how much the hype can burn before making a move.
