BlockDAG Hits 2,660% Gain as Presale Nears $360M Target Ahead of August 11 Deadline

Four cryptocurrency projects—BlockDAG, Bittensor (TAO), NEAR Protocol, and Render (RNDR)—are currently highlighted as top-performing options to buy ahead of a critical deadline in August 2025. Among these, BlockDAG is attracting significant attention due to its final presale phase, which ends on August 11. At this point, investors can purchase BDAG tokens at $0.0016, the lowest available rate before prices adjust to market levels [1].

BlockDAG’s presale has already raised $360 million and sold over 24.6 billion coins, with the current price at $0.0276—marking a 2,660% increase from the initial offering. The project has reached Batch 29 and is preparing for a full launch. A 10 BTC Auction will close on August 11, offering a final opportunity to secure BDAG at the discounted rate. Rewards for participants will scale based on contribution size, ensuring both small and large investors benefit [1].

In addition, BlockDAG has introduced Dashboard V4, a feature-rich platform that includes trading simulations, real-time market insights, and an order book to prepare investors for live trading conditions. The project has also confirmed 20 major CEX listings and launched mobile apps, further solidifying its infrastructure. These developments indicate a well-structured and active project, with measurable progress in both utility and market readiness [1].

Bittensor (TAO) continues to gain traction in the AI-focused decentralized learning space. The platform enables contributors to design, train, and deliver AI models, with rewards based on the effectiveness and real-world utility of the models rather than speculative trends. This approach gives TAO a unique edge, supported by a strong developer community and growing adoption across AI-driven industries [1].

NEAR Protocol remains a top choice for developers due to its developer-friendly tools and low transaction costs. The platform’s Nightshade sharding technology enables high throughput, making it suitable for scalable smart contract development. Ongoing initiatives like MetaBUILD hackathons further strengthen its appeal to Web3 builders [1].

Render (RNDR) is addressing a critical gap in compute resources for AI and 3D workflows by decentralizing GPU rendering. The platform connects GPU resource providers with creators and developers in need of high-performance computing. As demand for AI processing and metaverse tools increases, Render’s solution becomes more relevant, positioning RNDR as a viable long-term investment [1].

While all four projects offer compelling value propositions, BlockDAG stands out due to its imminent deadline and limited-time entry point. After August 11, the opportunity to purchase BDAG at $0.0016 will no longer exist, and investors will be subject to market-driven pricing. This creates a sense of urgency for those looking to capitalize on early-stage potential [1].

As the deadline approaches, participants are advised to assess the risks and rewards associated with each project. BlockDAG’s structured approach, combined with its presale progress and real-world tools, suggests a project with both immediate and long-term potential. However, as with any investment in the crypto space, due diligence remains essential [1].
