Bitcoin News Today: BlockDAG Surpasses Kaspa With 10 BTC Auction and 3,025% ROI Potential

BlockDAG (BDAG) is emerging as a significant contender in 2025’s top blockchain race, distinguishing itself through a $361 million presale, a 10 BTC Auction Pool, and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. These features position BlockDAG as a scalable, developer-friendly, and rapidly growing Layer 1 blockchain, competing with projects like Kaspa (KAS). While Kaspa has gained traction with its pure Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure and Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus, BlockDAG introduces a hybrid DAG + PoW model with ambitions to scale to 2,000–15,000 TPS, far surpassing Kaspa’s current capacity of over 100 TPS [1].

BlockDAG’s EVM compatibility allows for the deployment of Solidity smart contracts and Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps), opening the door for DeFi, NFTs, and gaming use cases—areas where Kaspa’s focus on core payments and scalability limits broader application development [1]. Additionally, BlockDAG’s low-code contract creation tools lower the barrier to entry for non-developers, potentially accelerating ecosystem participation and innovation [1].

In terms of ecosystem growth, BlockDAG is already seeing early adoption. It has raised $361 million in presale funds, with over 200,000 BDAG holders. The platform offers a live Demo Trading Platform and the viral X1 mobile miner app, which has attracted over 2.5 million users. Developer activity is robust, with 4,500 developers and 300+ dApps currently in development. Upcoming features, such as a Cold Wallet, will further enhance user control and DeFi accessibility [1].

Kaspa, on the other hand, has a strong foundation with a market capitalization nearing $3 billion and is widely recognized for its decentralized mining model and real-time block confirmations. However, its application layer remains limited compared to BlockDAG’s expanding ecosystem [1]. Analysts project Kaspa’s continued growth if it can expand into new application areas and secure institutional partnerships, but BlockDAG’s aggressive scaling and EVM integration may offer a more diversified path to long-term value [1].

BlockDAG’s price outlook is also compelling. Currently trading at $0.0016 in presale, it is projected to reach $0.05 at listing, offering a potential 3,025% return on investment (ROI). If the smart contract ecosystem gains traction, long-term price projections range from $1 to $10, depending on adoption and utility post-launch [1].

A key driver of BlockDAG’s momentum is its 10 BTC Auction Pool promotion. Every BDAG purchase before its August 11 launch grants users a chance to win a share of 10 Bitcoin, with larger purchases yielding a higher share. This incentive structure is attracting both retail and institutional interest as the presale progresses [1].

While Kaspa appeals to blockchain purists with its no-ICO, no-premine philosophy, BlockDAG is designed for broader adoption. It offers tools tailored for traders, developers, and everyday users, emphasizing infrastructure readiness and user experience. With a confirmed listing on over 20 exchanges and a clear roadmap, BlockDAG is emerging as a serious competitor in the scalable blockchain space [1].
