XRP News Today: BlockDAG's $500M Ambition: Can It Conquer Critics and Deliver 76,800% ROI?

BlockDAG's presale has raised over $420 million as of October 2025, with the final discounted entry price of $0.0012 available until October 1st via the TGE code, positioning it as one of the year's largest token fundraisers. The project, which has distributed 26.2 billion tokens across 312,000 holders, is targeting a $500 million cap ahead of its November 26, 2025, Genesis Day launch. This progress contrasts with XRP's current price of $2.83 and DOGE's $0.21, as both remain subject to market volatility. BlockDAG's presale strategy, featuring a hybrid DAG-PoW architecture and partnerships with exchanges like MEXC, CoinStore, and LBank, underscores its focus on scalability and global adoption.

The presale, which began in December 2023, has faced delays, with the launch date shifting from August 11 to November 26. Critics highlight the two-year fundraising period as a potential overhang, with 150 billion total tokens and an initial 50 billion in circulation creating concerns about post-launch selling pressure. However, the team argues that the locked price of $0.0013 until October 1st offers a final opportunity for investors to secure tokens before the Singapore deployment event. Early buyers have already seen 2,900% returns from earlier batches, and analysts project up to 76,800% ROI if BDAG reaches $1 at launch.

BlockDAG's ecosystem includes 3 million daily miners using its X1 app, 19,800 hardware miners sold, and a global community spanning 130 nations. Institutional credibility is bolstered by audits from Halborn and Certik, though repeated delays have sparked skepticism about execution risks. In contrast, XRP and DOGE remain tied to technical levels: XRP trades near $2.83 with $3.00 as key support, while DOGE's cup-and-handle pattern suggests a potential move toward $0.30–$0.50.

Post-launch, BDAG's price trajectory is a focal point. While short-term dumping risks exist, long-term optimism hinges on ecosystem development and exchange liquidity. The project's roadmap includes a $0.05 debut price, with analysts forecasting $10–$50 targets within a year. Meanwhile, XRP's legal uncertainties and DOGE's meme-driven momentum lack the structural clarity of BlockDAG's presale-driven model.

The presale's success reflects broader market dynamics. With $420 million raised, BlockDAG has outpaced traditional altcoins in fundraising, leveraging aggressive marketing and strategic partnerships. However, the project must navigate regulatory scrutiny in Seychelles and prove its ability to deliver on technical promises. For now, the focus remains on the October 1st deadline, after which the presale price will adjust to market valuation.
