The post Best Crypto to Buy: Chainlink Puts S&P Ratings On-Chain, Render Scales AI Power While BlockDAG Presale Hits $430M+ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

As of October 2025, the global crypto market remains in a fragile yet fascinating equilibrium. Following heavy liquidations earlier this month, triggered by President Trump’s 100% tariffs on Chinese tech exports, total crypto capitalization has slipped to $3.7 trillion, down nearly 9.5% from its October peak.

Render: Fueling the Decentralized Compute Boom While most of the market hesitates, Render (RNDR) is scaling aggressively into the AI and distributed compute space. Currently trading at around $2.45 with a $1.75 billion market cap, Render is expanding its technical backbone through RNP-021, which introduces enterprise-grade GPUs such as…
