The best crypto to buy now is usually the one sitting closest to a change nobody has priced yet. Solana just put a date on its own. Anza’s release schedule puts Alpenglow feature activation on mainnet at September 28, 2026, per CryptoTicker. SOL trades at $109 while eight US spot Solana ETFs have pulled past $1.16 billion in net inflows, per COINOTAG. Bitwise’s BSOL alone cleared $1 billion. The entire job of this upgrade is to strip cost out of a network. A presale called Pepeto is running that same play at a much smaller size, and $10.9 million has arrived while it does.
