BlockDAG Presale Surpasses $353M, 3,025% Gains Projected as ONDO Holds $0.90 and SHIB Dips 10%

The BlockDAG (BDAG) token presale has surged past $353 million, driven by strong investor demand ahead of its global launch, while ONDO maintains a stable price near $0.90 and Shiba Inu (SHIB) faces downward pressure. The presale, priced at $0.0016 per token, has sold over 24.3 billion BDAG coins, positioning the project as one of the most capital-intensive crypto initiatives this year. With a projected post-launch price of $0.05, early buyers could potentially achieve a 3,025% return if the token reaches its listed value. The project’s infrastructure includes real-world utility features like mobile mining, plug-and-play hardware, and partnerships with entities such as UFC champion Alex Pereira and sports teams in the U.S. and Italy. Independent audits by CertiK and Halborn have further bolstered confidence in its security framework [1].

ONDO, a token linked to real-estate collateralized assets, has shown resilience, holding above $0.90 despite a recent 10% intraday dip. The price stabilized on key support levels, suggesting continued institutional demand for its asset-backed model. In contrast, SHIB has struggled, with its price falling to $0.00001356—a 10% drop in 24 hours—leaving 80% of holders in a loss position. Over 786 trillion SHIB tokens remain in long-term wallets, indicating lingering optimism among investors who have held the token for nearly three years on average [1].

BlockDAG’s rapid fundraising success is attributed to its developer-driven ecosystem, with over 4,500 developers already building more than 300 projects on its testnet. These initiatives span AI tools and decentralized applications, emphasizing the platform’s focus on real-world utility. The project’s roadmap includes a phased mainnet rollout, with partnerships expected to drive adoption in Q3 2025. Analysts highlight the active developer community as a key differentiator, potentially accelerating the creation of a self-sustaining ecosystem [2].

The divergent performances of ONDO and SHIB underscore a market shift toward projects with tangible use cases. ONDO’s stability aligns with its role in institutional real-estate financing, while SHIB’s lack of clear utility beyond meme culture has left it exposed to volatility. Meanwhile, BlockDAG’s technical innovation—its BlockDAG consensus mechanism—aims to improve scalability and transaction speed compared to traditional blockchain architectures. However, post-launch success will depend on translating these advantages into user adoption and real-world demand [2].

BlockDAG’s global launch, set for early August, is expected to be supported by listings on over 20 exchanges, including MEXC and BitMart. This infrastructure, combined with its strategic partnerships, has solidified its position as a top crypto project to watch. As the market matures, the contrast between projects like BlockDAG and tokens lacking clear utility is likely to widen, with investors prioritizing innovation and infrastructure over speculative assets [1].
