Dogecoin News Today: BlockDAG’s 2049% Bonus Steals Spotlight as SHIB and BCH Pursue Gains

Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced diverging trajectories in September 2025, with SHIB facing downward pressure while DOGE remained relatively stable. At the end of August, SHIB traded at $0.0000126 but pulled back by 11% by early September, hovering near $0.00001245. Analysts identified key support levels at $0.0000103–$0.000009 and resistance at $0.000013. On-chain data indicated weaker activity on the Shibarium blockchain, though whale accumulation and steady token burn rates offered some optimism. Technical indicators, including bullish divergence on weekly charts, suggested the potential for a 156% rally if buying momentum strengthened [1]. Meanwhile, Dogecoin maintained its position as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $32.75 billion, significantly outpacing SHIB’s $7.34 billion [2].

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) saw a more bullish outlook during the same period, trading near $558 with short-term targets pointing toward a $600 threshold. Analysts, including Changelly and CoinCodex, projected a potential climb to $636 by the end of September and $715–$755 in the following months [1]. Traders Union also highlighted a 12-month target of $639. Looking further ahead, BCH was expected to reach $720–$863 by the end of 2025, with longer-term forecasts from Capital.com suggesting a climb to $874 in 2026 and $1,888 by 2029 [1]. These projections underscored the growing interest in BCH, with whale activity and broader market optimism contributing to its steady upside potential.

While SHIB and BCH drew attention, the most disruptive development came from BlockDAG, which leveraged the TOKEN2049 conference to amplify its presale. With a 2049% bonus multiplier, the project incentivized early participation, turning the conference into a focal point for investors seeking high-growth opportunities. By October 1, every token purchase would be amplified twentyfold, a strategy that positioned BlockDAG as a major contender in the 2025 market. The presale had already raised over $387 million, with 25 billion tokens sold and a price of $0.03 in Batch 30 [1]. This aggressive approach highlighted a shift in how projects could dominate industry events, using incentives to capture market attention.

Looking ahead to October, the Shiba Inu team expressed confidence in a bullish autumn season, citing historical patterns where SHIB reached peaks in October 2021. Marketing lead Lucie hinted at expansion plans across Asian markets, including South Korea, Japan, and China, emphasizing the importance of community growth over short-term price fluctuations. The team also underscored the long-term value of Shiba Inu’s ecosystem, focusing on utility development and adoption rather than immediate price gains [3]. Analysts like Eunice Wong and Himanshu Maradiya pointed to potential seasonal gains and the possibility of a Federal Reserve rate cut, which could further fuel investor interest in riskier assets like SHIB and DOGE.

Despite challenges, SHIB’s position as the 23rd-largest cryptocurrency presented a significant hurdle in overtaking DOGE. To surpass Dogecoin, SHIB would need to achieve a 376.83% increase in market cap, reaching $35 billion while maintaining DOGE’s current valuation [2]. This would require a unit price of $0.00005939, a level the token once reached in 2021 before retreating. While some analysts, including Alikze and Davie Satoshi, remained optimistic about a potential return to $0.000059, others, like BitScreener’s AI model, projected such a price only by 2035. The lack of institutional interest in SHIB, compared to DOGE’s ETF filings and treasury initiatives, further complicated its path to dominance [2].

As the crypto market entered October, the focus remained on both traditional altcoins and emerging projects. SHIB and BCH continued to offer long-term potential, while BlockDAG’s presale strategy showcased a new paradigm in market capture. Investors monitoring these developments closely anticipated further volatility, with the possibility of significant price movements as the quarter progressed [1].
