BlockDAG Presale Hits $357M as AAVE Falls 14% and PEPE Loses 50%

The cryptocurrency market is currently showing a mixed landscape, with key tokens like AAVE and PEPE under pressure while BlockDAG’s presale continues to gain traction. AAVE’s price has fallen below its recent range, struggling to hold the $269.86 support level after a 14% drop from its July 19 high of $334. Technical indicators, including the RSI and MACD, point to a bearish trend, with the price now below both the 7-day and 20-day SMAs[1]. Analysts are closely watching whether AAVE can maintain this critical level, as a breakdown could push the price closer to $213[1].

Meanwhile, PEPE has remained stagnant around $0.0000126, having lost 50% of its earlier value. Despite a 32.5% increase in whale activity, weekly volume has dropped by 40%, and the token has yet to break out of its tight trading range[1]. Some market participants are noting a bullish hammer pattern and a CMF reading of 0.08, suggesting potential accumulation, but a strong signal has yet to materialize for a breakout[1].

In contrast, BlockDAG is gaining attention with its recent no vesting offer, which allows buyers to unlock all their BDAG coins immediately upon launch. This update, valid until August 4, is part of a presale that has already raised over $357 million and sold 24.6 billion BDAG coins[1]. The presale is now in batch 29, priced at $0.0276, but the no vesting option remains at $0.0016. With a projected launch price of $0.05 and expectations of a move toward $1 soon after, the return from current levels could be as high as 3,025%[1].

The no vesting option is particularly significant given the presale’s proximity to its end date. After August 4, all purchases will follow the standard vesting schedule, limiting early access. This timing has drawn interest from large buyers who recognize the short window for immediate liquidity[1].

While AAVE and PEPE remain in consolidation, BlockDAG's structured approach is generating momentum. For investors tracking top crypto for 2025, the no vesting option presents an early-stage opportunity with potential upside without the typical lock-up period[1].
