XRP News Today: BlockDAG Secures $371M, Launches Dashboard V4 Amid XRP Gains and Pi Whale Activity

The cryptocurrency market began the week with notable developments across multiple projects. Among them, BlockDAG emerged as a standout player, having secured $371 million in funding while launching its advanced Dashboard V4. The tool is designed to simulate real-time market conditions, allowing users to test trading strategies and track price movements in a risk-free environment. This innovation aims to turn the pre-launch phase into an educational experience rather than a passive waiting period [1].

BlockDAG’s fundraising success is underscored by the sale of more than 25 billion coins across 29 batches, with Batch 29 currently priced at $0.0276 and the eventual launch price locked at $0.05. This represents a 2,660% return for early Batch 1 participants. The project also reported $7.7 million in miner sales from over 19,200 units, indicating strong community and infrastructure adoption [1].

In parallel, XRP continued to show positive momentum. Although BlackRock confirmed it would not seek a spot XRP ETF, the broader market response remained bullish. This resilience is attributed to strong ETF inflows and Ripple’s strategic push into stablecoins, particularly the $642 million RLUSD. The XRP price forecast remains optimistic, with Teucrium’s XXRP and ProShares UXRP ETFs attracting over $568 million in assets under management collectively [1].

Meanwhile, the Pi Network has seen renewed interest following whale activity. A single wallet added 984,914 PI within 24 hours, pushing its holdings to 351.74 million—surpassing any single exchange’s holdings. Overall, whales purchased 2.25 million PI valued at approximately $901,500. While the price dipped slightly from a recent high of $0.4661, it remains supported above the 50 EMA on the 4-hour chart. Technical indicators suggest that regaining the 200 EMA at $0.4271 could push the Pi Network price toward the $0.4734 level, last seen in July [1].

These developments point to a broader trend of market readiness shaping success in 2025. BlockDAG’s Dashboard V4 redefines the role of presale tools, transforming them from mere sales counters into interactive learning platforms. As XRP navigates regulatory landscapes and Pi stabilizes above key support levels, the strategic advantage of being well-prepared for market entry becomes increasingly clear [1].
