BlockDAG Presale Raises $321 Million, Whales Eye 49,900% Gain

BlockDAG, a Layer 1 blockchain project, has garnered significant attention from large investors, known as whales, as it approaches its $1 goal. The project's presale has already raised $321 million, with a special price of $0.0020 per token available until June 24. This price point is seen as a strategic entry for whales, who are known for their timing rather than sentiment. The project is set to launch at $0.05, with analysts predicting it could reach $1, making it one of the most anticipated presales in history.

BlockDAG's technology stack is a key factor in its appeal. It uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) architecture inspired by Kaspa, built on a hybrid Proof-of-Work system. This combination offers speed and security that few Layer 1s can match, with a target of 2,000 to 15,000 transactions per second. The DAG design also brings decentralized trust through its PoW system. Additionally, BlockDAG offers full EVM compatibility, a no-code smart contract builder, and a live testnet, putting it ahead of most chains pre-launch. Over 23.2 billion coins have already been sold, with nearly 200,000 holders and 18,000+ ASIC miners showing clear traction. The presale target is $600 million, and with $321 million raised so far, hitting or surpassing that goal seems likely.

Whales are applying a strategy by jumping on the $0.0020 price, but only for a limited time. A $0.05 launch price means over 2,400% gain if the listing hits the target. And if it reaches $1? Early buyers score around 49,900%. The logic is grounded, not hype. Testnet is live. Mainnet will debut on a clear six-week countdown into Q4 2025. The roadmap shows staking, wallet migration, full DeFi suite (DEXs, oracles, bridges), plus airdrops of 40% of presale coins two weeks before listing. If you missed early moves on Solana or Avalanche, this feels familiar.

BlockDAG’s structure also appeals beyond retail. Mobile mining via the X1 app has 2 million+ users. Institutional-grade X10, X30, and X100 miners ship July 7–August 15. They’re building a layered system: digital and physical infrastructure. That setup is rare. Most presales focus on either coin economics or tech. BlockDAG nails both. It serves DAG throughput, Bitcoin-grade resilience, and Ethereum-style programmability, all before launch. With confirmed listings on MEXC, BitMart, Coinstore, XT.com, and LBank, liquidity looks solid.

Analysts think BlockDAG could be the next crypto to $1, and not because of hype. Its fundamentals look like successful chains early on. The $0.0020 entry is seen as buying SOL under $1 or ADA in the early days. The presale currently offers a special limited-time price of $0.0020 (Batch 29 price: $0.0276) and attracts new retail buyers daily. In just one day, the price will rise to $0.0030. BlockDAG is also planning a U.S. sponsorship push. It has already confirmed a collaboration with Inter Milan. While details are under wraps, this kind of promotion has worked before. Polygon grew with public awareness via sports and enterprise ties. BlockDAG is taking that same approach: build a brand before liquidity.

That buzz is already speeding up presale demand. Nearly 200,000 holders and active Telegram and X communities show early network growth. Add in developer grants, no-code apps, and pre-launch hackathons, and you see an ecosystem forming, not just a coin drop. Everything aligns: tech readiness, whale strategy, and market timing. The crypto world wants a Layer 1 with real-world use and strong tech. BlockDAG checks all the boxes. That $0.0020 entry isn’t just cheap, it’s smart. The price jumps to $0.0030 in one day, and once presale ends, whales know the real show begins. In a game where the best opportunities come before the crowd, BlockDAG’s whale-centred strategy shows the path. Don’t chase. Predict. Want the next crypto to $1? Watch where whales dive. Right now, they’re deep in BlockDAG.
