BlockDAG has unexpectedly opened a "Final Private Round" for its BDAG tokens at a price of $0.00025 each, just days after officially closing its public presale on January 26. This private offering represents a 50% discount from the final public batch price of $0.0005. The project, which has already raised over $452 million in total fundraising, is positioning this as a strategic move to reward attentive investors and clear remaining token inventory.
The private round operates under different terms than the public sale, featuring allocation caps and verification requirements, including KYC completion. It is accessible through specific channels like Telegram groups, Discord servers, and direct emails to previous participants, rather than the main presale interface. The round includes bonus structures for larger allocations, further reducing the effective price per token for significant commitments.
A key advantage for private round participants is a nine-hour trading head start before the public listing opens on February 16. This window allows early buyers to establish positions, set limit orders, and provide initial liquidity while the broader market remains locked out. The project team provides direct communication channels for real-time updates on claim procedures and exchange confirmations during this critical transition period.
Meanwhile, the broader crypto market sees continued expansion into real-world assets (RWAs), with Mercado Bitcoin deploying over $20 million in tokenized private credit on the Bitcoin sidechain Rootstock, targeting $100 million in issuances by April. This development highlights the growing institutional adoption of blockchain for traditional financial instruments.
In the competitive presale landscape, BlockDAG faces comparison with other projects like DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT), which has raised over $1.49 million and offers AI trading tools, and Digitap ($TAP), which provides fintech utility with crypto debit cards. However, BlockDAG's substantial fundraising and final private round present a distinct opportunity for investors seeking entry before the public listing.
