Capital is crowding into the AI-IPO trade, and SpaceX sits at the centre of that narrative. The company filed its S‑1 on May 20, 2026, putting a date on one of the most anticipated listings of the cycle (SEC EDGAR (Space Exploration Technologies Corp. filings)).

The Zcash (ZEC) price is trading around $487 after surging more than 14% over the past 24 hours, extending its recovery from the sharp selloff triggered by the Orchard vulnerability disclosure earlier this month. After plunging by more than 50% during the panic, the privacy-focused cryptocurrency has staged a strong rebound as investor confidence returns following security fixes and the absence of any evidence that the vulnerability was exploited. The renewed buying momentum has now shifted traders’ attention from the recent correction to a more pressing question: How high can the Zcash price climb before the end of June if the…

By Sunday, traders scanning weekend charts saw an outlier: VELVET ripping through resistance while majors drifted. Exchange alerts flagged an 885% weekly gain, a 165% 24-hour surge, and derivatives open interest nearing nine figures—numbers that grab attention on any tape. Hours later, the same chart told a different story. The move had round-tripped sharply, with reports of a steep retrace and heavy token flows to exchanges. For anyone tracking post-crash rotations, the VELVET tape was a live-fire drill in how thin-liquidity altcoins can supercharge both upside and downside. This is not a verdict on the project; it’s a case study…
