Crypto News Today: Zcash Targets a Block-Time Cut From 75 to 25 Seconds as DigiTap Gives Retail Another Early-Catalyst Bet Below $0.06

Zcash is preparing for a major speed upgrade that targets a reduction in block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. The change gives ZEC traders a clear technical catalyst, but it is attached to an asset already trading on public markets. DigiTap gives retail a separate early-catalyst trade, with $TAP still priced below $0.06 before listing.

Both stories revolve around timing. Zcash holders are watching for a network upgrade. DigiTap buyers are entering before public trading while its beta app is already available.

Zcash Sets Up Its Next Network Catalyst

The presale is sitting at $0.0589.

Zcash’s NU7 upgrade targets faster transaction settlement by reducing block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. The NU7 mainnet activation is scheduled for November 5, giving the privacy network a dated event for traders to track.

The proposed change would make blocks arrive three times faster than under the current 75-second schedule. That gives Zcash a concrete development rather than a vague promise, which is why the upgrade has become part of the current crypto news cycle.

ZEC already trades on public exchanges, however. Its price reacts immediately as traders interpret upgrade progress, broader market conditions, and demand for privacy-focused assets.

DigiTap Offers a Below-$0.06 Entry Before Listing

The DigiTap presale currently prices $TAP at $0.0589. The next presale price is $0.0594, keeping both levels below $0.06 while Round 4 remains open.

That gives retail a clearly defined entry before an exchange chart exists. Buyers know the current round price and the next step in advance, rather than chasing a public-market move after news has already spread.

The comparison with Zcash is straightforward. ZEC traders are positioning around a scheduled network upgrade for an established asset. DigiTap buyers are positioning before $TAP enters the public market at all.

The Product Is Visible Before the Token Lists

DigiTap’s beta app is downloadable through the App Store and Google Play. Users can access wallet, card, and payment functions while the token is still in presale.

This makes the current catalyst more concrete than a token launch standing alone. DigiTap already has consumer software available, but $TAP has not yet reached the wider exchange audience.

The app also changes how retail can judge the presale. Buyers do not have to rely entirely on concept art or a distant development schedule. They can see the product layer while the below-$0.06 entry remains available.

Round 4 Is Already Over 85% Sold

Round 4 has passed 85% sold, so the remaining $0.0589 allocation is limited. When it closes, the next presale price becomes $0.0594.

That movement creates a different type of catalyst from Zcash’s scheduled upgrade. Zcash has a future network date. DigiTap has an active presale threshold that advances when the current allocation is purchased.

Retail therefore has two clocks to consider. ZEC traders can monitor the approach to NU7 activation. $TAP buyers face a live round that keeps filling, with no reset after the remaining tokens sell.

App Economics Connect Activity to $TAP

Under DigiTap’s token model, 50% of app fee profits are allocated to open-market $TAP buybacks and burns. The mechanism connects activity inside the financial app with demand for the token.

The buybacks take place on the open market, while burns permanently remove the purchased tokens from circulation. This gives $TAP a direct role in the app’s economics instead of leaving it detached from the product.

Combined with the live beta and the pre-listing price, the mechanism gives DigiTap a distinct catalyst profile. The product exists, the token remains below $0.06, and public-market trading is still ahead.

Two Catalysts at Different Stages

Zcash is preparing to accelerate its network through NU7, and that scheduled upgrade gives ZEC a strong technical headline. DigiTap offers retail an earlier market-stage opportunity.

$TAP currently costs $0.0589, Round 4 is over 85% sold, and the beta app is already downloadable. Buyers entering now do so before the token reaches public exchanges and before the current price advances to $0.0594.

The Zcash catalyst has a date. DigiTap’s catalyst is already moving as the remaining Round 4 allocation is sold.
