Bitcoin News Today: BlockDAG Launches With 3025% Price Potential and 10 BTC Auction Pool

BlockDAG and Kaspa are both leveraging Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology to advance blockchain scalability and speed, but their approaches differ significantly in design, ecosystem development, and market positioning as of 2025 [1]. Kaspa (KAS) has positioned itself as a Bitcoin-inspired DAG-based network, utilizing a pure Proof-of-Work (PoW) model that enables one-second block times and simultaneous confirmations without orphaned blocks. This design allows for over 100 transactions per second (TPS) in practice, with near-instant confirmations [1]. Meanwhile, BlockDAG (BDAG) is emerging as a Layer 1 network that has raised $361 million, launched live trading tools, and attracted a growing user base [1].

BlockDAG employs a hybrid DAG and PoW model, emphasizing multi-layer scalability and broader application support. In testing, it has demonstrated the ability to process up to 10 blocks per second, with ambitions to scale to 2,000–15,000 TPS as its network expands. The platform is Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible, supporting Solidity contracts and Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps), which opens doors for decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and gaming projects. In contrast, Kaspa’s focus remains largely on payments and scaling, with fewer native tools for these emerging sectors [1].

BlockDAG also introduces a low-code contract creation interface, enabling non-developers to build smart contracts through a visual platform. This feature lowers the barrier to entry for a broader user base and could accelerate ecosystem growth [1]. The project has also launched a demo trading platform offering BDAG at $0.0016 until August 11, allowing users to practice trading without real financial risk. Its X1 mobile miner app has gained over 2.5 million users, and BlockDAG has attracted more than 200,000 token holders. Notably, it has also drawn the attention of over 4,500 developers and more than 300 dApps in development [1].

While Kaspa is already operational and has achieved a market cap of nearly $3 billion in early 2025, BlockDAG is entering the market with a strong infrastructure already in place, despite not yet being listed. Analysts have forecasted a potential price range of $1 to $10 for BDAG in the long term, contingent on adoption and ecosystem growth following its full launch. The current price of $0.0016 in its GLOBAL LAUNCH phase offers a potential 3,025% gain compared to its confirmed listing price of $0.05 [1].

BlockDAG’s marketing and engagement strategies are also notable. It has launched a 10 BTC Auction Pool, where purchases before August 11 contribute to a chance to win a share of 10 Bitcoin. This mechanism has generated increased participation from both retail and institutional buyers [1]. In contrast, Kaspa, with no initial coin offering (ICO) or premine, appeals to blockchain purists and traditional miners who value decentralization and fair distribution [1].

Both networks represent the evolving DAG-based blockchain landscape, but BlockDAG’s ecosystem readiness, user tools, and promotional strategies are setting it apart as the launch date approaches. As the industry shifts toward faster and more scalable solutions, both projects will remain key players, though BlockDAG’s infrastructure and user-driven approach appear to give it a competitive edge [1].
