Are you ready for your portfolio to move at the speed of privacy, interoperability, and Decentralized Science (DeSci)?
At Bitso, we know that the financial future is built on movement. That’s why our mission is to give you the tools and assets you need so your money doesn’t stay still, but moves at the speed of innovation.
Today, we are ready to take the conversation and your portfolio to the next level. Five new assets are arriving on our platform: ZK, TNSR, RUNE, ZEN, and BIO. From professional NFT trading to Ethereum scalability, the democratization of science, and modular privacy, each token offers you a new way to diversify your strategy beyond the obvious.
In this article, we’ll tell you a bit about each project so you can learn more about them.
Meet the 5 new additions
We present the new assets with a simple approach, so you can get to know them better and diversify your portfolio with knowledge.
ZK
ZK is the token of the ZKsync protocol, a Layer 2 network designed to scale Ethereum with advanced Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proof technology. Its mission is to increase Ethereum’s processing capacity without sacrificing fundamental values like decentralization.
- What is it for? The ZK token allows participation in protocol governance and is used to pay network fees. ZKsync enables faster and cheaper transactions, making decentralized finance more accessible for daily use.
- Use Case: By holding ZK, you participate in the governance of a key solution for Ethereum’s scalability, helping to shape a future with ultra-fast and low-cost transactions.
BIO
BIO is the native utility and governance token of Bio Protocol, a blockchain platform designed to advance Decentralized Science (DeSci). Its mission is to empower global communities of scientists, patients, researchers, and biotech professionals to collectively fund, build, and own tokenized biotech projects and Intellectual Property (IP).
- What is it for? The BIO token is used for governance. By staking BIO, you obtain veBIO, which grants voting power over protocol updates, treasury asset meta-governance, and the selection of new projects seeking integration into the ecosystem. Furthermore, staked BIO generates BioXP points and gives holders access to new project launches and discounts on products and services offered by projects within the Bio Protocol ecosystem.
- Use Case: By staking BIO, you participate in voting on new BioDAOs and biotech projects, while the platform’s supported BioAgents (decentralized AI agents) allow you to automate scientific knowledge work.
TNSR
TNSR is the governance token of Tensor, a leading NFT marketplace on the Solana blockchain, known for its deep liquidity and an ultra-fast interface designed for professional traders.
- What is it for? Holders of TNSR can vote on proposals that affect protocol fee percentages, the distribution of those fees, and other key parameters that influence Tensor’s future development.
- Use Case: Tensor is setting a new standard for NFT marketplaces. By holding TNSR, you can participate in the decisions of a protocol that is building a professional-level trading experience within the Solana NFT ecosystem.
RUNE
RUNE is the native token of THORChain, a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol that allows users to swap crypto assets across different networks (including Bitcoin and Ethereum) without losing full custody of their assets.
- What is it for? RUNE functions as the base asset for settlement in THORChain’s liquidity pools and is used for governance and the network’s economic security. Node operators must commit RUNE to participate in consensus.
- Use Case: RUNE enables native cross-chain swaps without the need for wrapped tokens or bridges, offering a permissionless interoperability solution where you can directly swap BTC for ETH.
ZEN
ZEN is the native token of Horizen, a modular blockchain platform designed to make advanced privacy technologies like Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs accessible across the web.
- What is it for? ZEN is used for governance, gaining access to privacy services, and powering zkApps interactions. Horizen operates as a next-generation Layer 3 appchain on the Base network, allowing it to benefit from the security of Ethereum and the scalability of Base.
- Use Case: By holding ZEN, you support a platform that integrates diverse technologies to offer scalable and flexible privacy solutions, ensuring sensitive data is handled with accessible ZK verification.
How are these new tokens listed on Bitso?
Our purpose is to give you access to new tokens faster than anyone else. To achieve this while maintaining the security you expect, we implement the Limited Operations category.

Your next step: Research to invest better (DYOR)
At Bitso, we give you the tools, but you maintain control.
Remember: investment strategies are better when they have clarity, not complexity. Before making any investment, we invite you to do your own research (DYOR) so you can make informed decisions. You can find more technical details and the full vision of each project on their official websites.
