BlockDAG TRX TON UNI Gain Momentum From Presale Listings Governance Shifts

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing renewed interest in alternative coins (altcoins) that combine robust technical infrastructure with active ecosystem development. Among the top altcoins to watch, BlockDAG, TRX, TON, and UNI stand out due to their unique value propositions and current momentum. Each project is positioned to deliver strong returns, supported by real user activity, institutional interest, or strategic governance changes.

BlockDAG has emerged as a standout with a presale that has already raised over $374 million toward a $600 million goal, with tokens sold at $0.0276. The project combines Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure with Proof-of-Work (PoW) and EVM compatibility, enabling high throughput and smart contract flexibility. Early investors in the first batch have already seen returns of around 2,660%, with estimates pointing to potential gains of 81% at a $0.05 listing price. With over 2.5 million users on the X1 Mobile Miner app and more than 300 dApps in development, BlockDAG is well-positioned for a strong post-launch performance. The project is confirmed for listing on 20 exchanges, including MEXC, BitMart, and LBank, with high expectations for a listing on Coinbase and Gemini [1].

TRX, the native token of the TRON network, has gained more than 7% in the past week, trading near $0.3618 with a market cap of $34 billion. Its momentum is fueled by a $1 billion buyback program and increased on-chain activity, including growing stablecoin transactions and whale accumulation. The TRON network is expanding in real-world usage, with a strong technical chart supporting further price appreciation. Analysts highlight TRX’s stability and upside potential as key factors for investors seeking a balanced altcoin strategy [1].

Toncoin (TON) is drawing attention due to a recent institutional move by Coinbase Ventures, which acquired TON tokens directly from Telegram. The token is trading around $3.53 with a market cap of $9 billion and daily volumes between $400–$500 million. The integration of the Hamster Kombat game with the Hamster Network—a Layer-2 built on TON—has boosted user engagement and developer activity. Institutional backing, combined with growing ecosystem adoption, makes TON a compelling option for investors focused on both fundamentals and user growth [1].

Uniswap’s UNI token is currently trading near $12.17, up approximately 5% in the past 24 hours and gaining over 31% in the last week. The token’s price movement is being driven by governance developments, including the proposed creation of a Wyoming-based entity called DUNI. This legal structure could enable the redirection of protocol fees to the DAO treasury, aligning tokenholder incentives with protocol growth. The Uniswap Foundation has also allocated $16.5 million worth of UNI for tax settlements and legal defense, with a potential vote set for August 18, 2025. This governance shift could serve as a key catalyst for further price appreciation, making UNI one of the top altcoins to consider [1].

These four altcoins—BlockDAG, TRX, TON, and UNI—represent diverse opportunities for investors. BlockDAG offers a high-growth presale and ambitious exchange listing goals. TRX combines buyback support with on-chain expansion. TON benefits from institutional backing and growing ecosystem integration. UNI is set to receive a governance-driven boost, enhancing token utility and value capture. Each project is currently undergoing developments that could shape its trajectory in the coming months.
