The fourth quarter of 2025 is witnessing a seismic shift in crypto presales, with investor focus moving from meme-driven hype to projects delivering tangible utility and live infrastructure. BlockDAG (BDAG) emerges as the frontrunner, having raised over $410 million in its presale, sold 26.4 billion coins, and deployed a functional testnet ahead of its mainnet launch. Its hybrid consensus architecture—blending blockchain with Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology—enables up to 15,000 transactions per second, supported by a live ecosystem including 3 million users on the X1 mobile miner app and 20,000+ X-Series miners shipped globally.
Other notable contenders include Best Wallet Token (BEST), which has gathered nearly $16 million in presale funds and offers a multi-chain wallet with cross-chain swaps and staking perks, though it relies on existing chains like Ethereum. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) aims to enhance Bitcoin with layer-2 scalability, raising $16.2–$16.7 million, while Snorter Token (SNORT) combines meme coin virality with trading bot tools, securing over $4 million in presale backing. BlockDAG's testnet, active since September 25, 2025, features real-time miner syncing and EIP-4337 account abstraction, positioning it as the most advanced presale project with confirmed exchange listings and a current batch price of $0.0016.
