Ethereum Holds at $2,500 Amid Mixed Signals, Solana Drops 13% to $142, BlockDAG Raises $313.5 Million

Ethereum's price has been relatively stable, trading around $2,500, with a potential short-term bounce to the $2,540–$2,550 range. However, if support levels break, ETH could drop to $2,260. A strong rally would require breaking the key resistance at $2,950, which could open the way to $4,200 by the end of the year. Technical signals are mixed, with both upward and downward movements possible. Positive indicators include a 40% increase in ETH futures open interest and inflows into Ethereum-related ETFs, which support mid-to-long-term goals in the $3,100–$3,600 zone. Over 50% of stablecoin activity runs on Ethereum, and new upgrades like Pectra aim to improve network speed. However, until ETH crosses $2,950, short-term price action may remain in a tight band.

Solana's price recently fell 13%, dipping to around $142 before a small rebound. The drop was exacerbated by a large inflow of 2.8 million SOL to exchanges, increasing sell pressure. Technical indicators continue to point down, with both the Ichimoku Cloud and moving averages showing ongoing weakness. The current support zone is between $143 and $144. If buyers cannot defend this area, SOL could slide further. To reverse the trend, Solana needs to reclaim the $150–$155 range. Traders are cautious, monitoring exchange volume and liquidity changes. The next few sessions around the $144–$150 range will be crucial in determining Solana's next move this month.

While Ethereum and Solana await clearer signals, BlockDAG is actively making progress. The project has raised $313.5 million, sold 22.9 billion coins, and is currently in Batch 29 at $0.0276. Miner shipments are confirmed, with the X30 and X100 models set to ship by July 7, followed by the X10 model on August 15. A major U.S. partnership is set to be revealed on June 20. The $313.5 million raised is being used to prepare liquidity for 20 exchanges, including five top-tier platforms, and to support the rollout of BlockDAG’s mobile mining app, which already has over 2 million users. Other parts of the ecosystem include developer tools, smart contract support, and DeFi expansion. With real hardware and a working app, BlockDAG is checking every box before launch. Those who joined in Batch 1 have already seen gains of 2,660%. That growth, combined with fast rollouts and limited pricing, makes BlockDAG a serious contender for the top crypto breakout of 2025. A rare $0.0018 price window is still open but ending in a few hours.
