BlockDAG's Record $353M Presale Sparks 3,025% Gains as UNI, POL, DOT Rally 12-9.87%

This week, four altcoins—BlockDAG (BDAG), Uniswap (UNI), Polygon (POL), and Polkadot (DOT)—demonstrated significant price movements and technical developments, capturing attention in the cryptocurrency market. BlockDAG emerged as a standout with its record-breaking presale and infrastructure advancements, while UNI, POL, and DOT showed varying degrees of short-term momentum and recovery potential.

BlockDAG, a project leveraging a DAG-based architecture, has raised $353 million in its presale, setting a new record for crypto fundraising. The presale has sold 24.4 billion BDAG tokens, with a fixed price of $0.0016 until its global launch on August 11. Analysts estimate a potential 3,025% return if the listing price reaches $0.05 [1]. The project’s Beta Testnet, now live, supports 15,000 transactions per second and includes tools like a transaction tracker, smart contract deployment, and a developer IDE. Over 4,500 developers are building 300 projects on the platform, with a roadmap aiming for 1,000+ decentralized applications by 2026.

Uniswap (UNI) gained 12.08% over the past week, trading between $9.09 and $11.61. The token rose 57.68% in the last month, signaling renewed market interest. Technical indicators suggest further upside: an RSI of 35.19 and a Stochastic reading of 6.768 indicate the asset is nearing oversold territory, often a precursor to a rebound. If UNI breaks the $12.57 resistance level, analysts project a potential target of $15.09 [1].

Polygon’s native token, POL, surged 7.12% this week, trading within a $0.2288–$0.2658 range. The 41.84% increase over the past month highlights its recovery from a prolonged downturn, though it remains 44.59% below its six-month peak. Key technical metrics, including an RSI of 37.71 and a Stochastic of 23.05, suggest undervaluation. A breakout above $0.2795 resistance could drive POL toward $0.3165, a 25% gain from current levels [1].

Polkadot (DOT) exhibited a 9.87% weekly gain, trading between $3.98 and $4.81. Over the last month, DOT rose 30.33%, reversing a 32.71% six-month decline. The RSI (37.17) and Stochastic (23.95) remain bearish, but the recent upward trajectory has sparked optimism. If DOT surpasses the $5.13 resistance, a 25% gain to $5.97 is projected [1].

While all four projects demonstrate growth, BlockDAG’s infrastructure and presale success position it as a unique case. Unlike the others, its price is not subject to market fluctuations until the official launch, offering investors a fixed entry point. The project’s roadmap, including listings on 20 exchanges and plans for 1,000+ dApps, underscores its long-term viability. In contrast, UNI, POL, and DOT rely on market sentiment and technical momentum, making their trajectories more susceptible to volatility.

The current dynamics highlight a shift in investor preferences toward projects with tangible utility and scalable infrastructure. BlockDAG’s focus on high throughput and developer tools aligns with growing demand for efficient blockchain solutions, while UNI’s decentralized exchange (DEX) dominance and POL’s Layer 2 scaling remain critical to their ecosystems. DOT’s interoperability features continue to attract attention despite its slower recovery.

As the market digests these developments, traders are advised to monitor key resistance levels and project updates. The performance of these altcoins could serve as a barometer for broader market confidence in the latter half of 2025.
