ADA Surges 42% on Leios Upgrade Hopes, BNB Hits $854, BlockDAG Launches Live Trading Dashboard

Cardano (ADA), BNB, and BlockDAG (BDAG) are among the most active cryptocurrency projects this month, each showing strong price movement and technological progress. ADA has surged 42% in July, driven by anticipation for the Leios upgrade expected in 2026. This update aims to significantly enhance the network’s scalability, potentially increasing the transaction speed from 250 TPS to levels more competitive with platforms like Solana. Additionally, the upgrade is seen as a catalyst for boosting Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem, which currently has $361 million in total value locked [1].

BNB has also made headlines, reaching $854 on July 28, representing a 32% monthly gain. The token’s market capitalization now exceeds $115 billion, placing it ahead of major corporations such as Nike. Analysts suggest BNB could break the $1,000 threshold by 2025, supported by growing usage across Binance’s trading, staking, and project launch platforms. The token is currently in a “price discovery” phase, with derivatives open interest hitting a record $1.7 billion, indicating strong engagement and potential for further upward movement [1].

Meanwhile, BlockDAG has launched Dashboard V4, allowing users to trade BDAG before its official listing. The platform has raised $361 million and sold over 24.7 billion BDAG tokens so far. The new dashboard offers real-time price updates, live order books, and full buy and sell functions, simulating the experience of a full trading platform. BDAG is currently priced at $0.0016 in Batch 29, and analysts project a potential 2,660% return if the token reaches its listing price of $0.05. Over $7.6 million in miner sales have already been recorded, with more than 18,900 miners sold [1].

While ADA and BNB are positioned for long-term growth driven by platform upgrades and increased adoption, BlockDAG is offering immediate access to its trading environment, attracting early adopters with the promise of high returns. The unique presale structure and live trading dashboard provide a transparent view of BDAG’s performance, setting it apart as an innovative project in this bull cycle.

As these three projects continue to gain momentum, the market remains focused on how each will perform in the coming months. ADA benefits from a clear roadmap with the Leios upgrade, BNB is supported by Binance’s ecosystem and growing demand, and BlockDAG is leveraging early trading access to build a strong user base ahead of its official listing.
