Bitcoin News Today: Whales Bet Big on BlockDAG—Could This Presale Outrun the Rest?

BlockDAG, one of the most prominent presale projects in 2025, has raised over $386 million, with more than 25.5 billion tokens sold across 30 batches. The project’s current token price stands at $0.03, and analysts project a potential 30x return if the token reaches a $1 listing price. This ambitious target has attracted both retail and institutional investors, with whale activity intensifying the presale momentum. Two whale buyers have recently invested $4.4 million and $4.3 million, displacing the previous top holder and signaling strong confidence in BlockDAG’s trajectory [2].

BlockDAG’s success is not just driven by capital inflows but also by its demonstrated adoption. Over 3 million users are actively mining BDAG through the X1 mobile app, and more than 19,000 ASIC miners have been shipped worldwide. Additionally, the project has attracted 4,500+ developers who are building 300+ decentralized applications (dApps), reinforcing its infrastructure and real-world utility [3]. The hybrid DAG and Proof-of-Work architecture, along with full EVM compatibility, positions BlockDAG as a versatile Layer 1 platform with strong technical foundations.

The project’s exposure is also growing ahead of its planned showcase at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, where it will occupy a 72 sqm booth with live demos and branding across the venue. This strategic visibility is expected to further boost investor interest and adoption. Furthermore, a 2049% token bonus offer remains active until October 1, incentivizing early participation and increasing token allocation for buyers before the event [1].

Among the other presale projects, Bitcoin Hyper has raised over $12 million and offers staking rewards in the 90–97% APY range. It functions as a Solana-based Layer-2 for Bitcoin, aiming to introduce smart contracts and scalability while retaining the Bitcoin brand. Snorter, a Solana-powered Telegram bot, has raised between $2 million and $3.5 million and is positioned as a meme-utility hybrid with staking rewards as high as 1,700% APY. Remittix, which focuses on bridging crypto with fiat transactions, has raised between $21 million and $21.7 million, with a mobile wallet in development to support 40+ cryptocurrencies and 30+ fiat currencies [1].

Despite the growing interest in these projects, BlockDAG remains the standout presale due to its unprecedented fundraising scale, adoption metrics, and strategic positioning. With over 25 billion tokens already sold and a projected $600 million cap, the project is entering a critical phase where smaller investors may face diminishing entry opportunities as each batch nears completion [2]. The combination of high ROI expectations, active mining and developer ecosystems, and the project’s visibility at major crypto events has solidified BlockDAG’s position as the top presale coin of 2025.

While Bitcoin Hyper, Snorter, and Remittix each offer compelling use cases and potential returns, they have yet to reach the scale and investor traction of BlockDAG. Analysts note that while Bitcoin Hyper brings utility to Bitcoin and Remittix bridges crypto and fiat, neither project has demonstrated the same level of infrastructure and user adoption as BlockDAG. Snorter’s meme-based approach, while appealing to a specific audience, also lacks the broader utility and capitalization of the leading presale project. As the presale landscape continues to evolve, BlockDAG remains at the forefront of investor attention, with its presale mechanics and growth trajectory setting a new benchmark for the industry [3].
