BlockDAG Nears $600M Presale Target with $376M Raised, Fueling Layer-1 Hype

18.08.2025 14:21

BlockDAG, a new Layer-1 blockchain, has secured over $376 million in its ongoing presale, selling 25.2 billion BDAG coins and accelerating toward a $600 million goal. The project's Batch 29 is priced at $0.0276, with a confirmed exchange listing price of $0.05, locking in an 81% gain for early investors. Analysts project potential post-listing prices up to $1, representing a 36x return from current levels.

Unlike typical blockchain launches, BlockDAG has built substantial adoption pre-mainnet: over 200,000 holders, 19,000+ ASIC miners sold, and 2.5 million users on its X1 mobile mining app. Its hybrid technology merges Proof-of-Work with Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture, enabling speeds of 10 blocks per second while maintaining security. The network is EVM-compatible, easing migration for Ethereum developers, with 4,500+ developers preparing 300+ dApps for deployment.

Whale participation has accelerated batch sell-outs, and the testnet is live ahead of a mainnet launch in six weeks. Security audits by Halborn and CertiK add credibility. BlockDAG's record-breaking traction—surpassing early funding of Avalanche ($350M) and Aptos ($200M)—positions it as a top 2025 presale contender.
