Ask around about the leading crypto to buy now and you’ll get a familiar pattern of answers: a coin that just had a big move, a narrative about why it could go further, and an implicit promise that the trend continues. Zcash news today and Near Protocol price news both fit that pattern this week, genuine rallies, real catalysts, zero documented floor. BlockDAG‘s Legacy Sale skips the narrative entirely. At an entry price of $0.00000044, Legacy Sale buyers get a documented $0.10 buyback rate locked in before the sale even closes, a number that doesn’t depend on an audit clearing Zcash’s…

Sam Bankman-Fried’s collapsed empire sold off some of the best tech bets of the decade — at the worst possible prices. The FTX estate, scrambling to repay creditors after the 2022 implosion, dumped stakes in Anthropic, Solana, Robinhood, and Cursor for fractions of what they’d eventually be worth. The numbers are brutal. A $200,000 seed check that Alameda Research wrote for Anysphere — the company behind AI coding tool Cursor — bought a 5% stake. The FTX estate sold it back at cost. No premium, no negotiation. Just $200,000 returned. SpaceX later moved to acquire Anysphere in a $60 billion…

A new framework from asset manager VanEck is drawing clear lines between Bitcoin miners that are genuinely transforming into artificial intelligence infrastructure providers and those that are still selling a story.
