BlockDAG Dominates 2025 Crypto Presales with $435M Raise, Challenged by Bitcoin Hyper and Emerging Altcoins

3 hour ago

The 2025 crypto presale market is witnessing intense competition, with several projects vying for investor attention through innovative technology and substantial fundraising. BlockDAG leads the pack, having raised an impressive $435 million in its presale, backed by a hybrid Proof-of-Work and Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture that enables transaction speeds of up to 15,000 TPS. Its live "Awakening Testnet" is operational, processing over 1,400 TPS, and the presale is set to conclude on February 10, 2026, with coin prices escalating from $0.005 in Batch 32 to a final stage price of $0.03, targeting a $0.05 listing. The project, led by CEO Antony Turner and audited by CertiK and Halborn, also boasts a partnership with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team.

Bitcoin Hyper, a Bitcoin Layer-2 solution, has raised over $26 million by integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to enhance Bitcoin's scalability and enable DeFi applications. Its $HYPER token was priced at $0.013225 in the presale, offering immediate staking opportunities with high APY. Meanwhile, BlockchainFX (BFX) has garnered $10.8 million from nearly 17,000 participants for its "super app" that unifies crypto, stocks, and forex trading, with a presale price of $0.029 and a planned launch at $0.05, featuring staking rewards that distribute 70% of platform fees to holders.

Nexchain focuses on an AI-driven DAG ecosystem for DeFi, with its $NEX token presale priced around $0.108, though it faces mixed analyst reviews as a mid-risk investment. Additionally, Little Pepe has raised $27.4 million by blending meme culture with an EVM-compatible Layer-2 chain, offering zero taxes and a 100 billion token supply to appeal to retail investors seeking utility beyond typical meme coins.
