The cryptocurrency market enters 2026 with significant developments from emerging projects. BlockDAG (BDAG) has officially announced its Token Generation Event (TGE) for January 26, 2026, concluding a presale that has spanned over two years and raised a substantial $440.71 million. The project is currently in Batch 34 of its presale, with the token priced at $0.0106, and the presale is scheduled to conclude on February 10, 2026.
Concurrently, DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) has achieved a major milestone, with its presale reaching $1 million in record time. The project is in its third presale stage with a token price of $0.03142. DeepSnitch AI distinguishes itself by having a partially deployed system already operational, featuring three AI agents—SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, and SnitchGPT—alongside a user-friendly dashboard.
Market analysts are drawing parallels between BlockDAG's launch setup and the early days of major Layer 1 blockchains like Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX). The comparison stems from a similar market structure: a large portion of the supply is held by early presale buyers at very low prices (below $0.01), while only a limited float is expected to be available at launch. This supply-demand dynamic has led some market makers to speculate on a potential opening price range near $0.40, which would represent a gain of 3,000% to 4,000% for early investors.
In related news, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a token associated with the Trump brand, saw its price increase by 1.5% to $0.1459 on January 1, following an announcement from Trump Media regarding the distribution of a new digital token to its shareholders. This event is viewed as another signal of former President Donald Trump's endorsement of the cryptocurrency sector.
Other projects mentioned include PepeNode, which is gaining attention through social media engagement with a presale price of $0.0011968, and Ozak AI (OZ), which continues its presale focused on AI-DePIN infrastructure, having raised approximately $4.8 million.
