Litecoin and Avalanche Surge 25 and 10 in Week BlockDAG Attracts $373M Presale

Litecoin (LTC) and Avalanche (AVAX) have shown notable momentum in the first half of 2025, with both cryptocurrencies attracting institutional attention and experiencing price gains. Litecoin, currently valued at $124.99, has seen a 3.82% increase in a single day and a 25% surge over the past week, driven in part by a $100 million investment from MEI Pharma and the potential for ETF approval. LTC is breaking out of a long-term consolidation phase, with $129.16 as the next key resistance level and $103.16 as a strong support zone. Technically, the RSI reading of 70.79 indicates overbought conditions, suggesting possible short-term cooling, but the overall bullish trend remains intact with strong volume and positive MACD indicators.

Avalanche (AVAX), priced at $23.79, is also on an upward trajectory, with over 10% gains in the past week. Institutional demand is a key driver, including a $240 million allocation from BlackRock in July and a $100 million Real-World Assets (RWA) fund from VanEck. The FIFA adoption of an Avalanche subnet for NFT ticketing further highlights its expanding utility. With RSI near 60 and MACD at -0.29, AVAX remains in a favorable growth phase. If it breaks through the $27 level, analysts predict a potential rise to $29.81 and even $40–$45 by late 2026, assuming ETF approval, which has an estimated 90% likelihood according to Bloomberg analysts.

While both Litecoin and Avalanche offer compelling growth narratives, BlockDAG (BDAG) is emerging as a standout long-term crypto play. Priced at $0.0276 in Batch 29, BlockDAG has already secured $373 million in its presale and confirmed 20 major exchange listings, including MEXC, BitMart, and LBank. This positions it for immediate liquidity and visibility upon launch. The project’s hybrid blockchain-DAG architecture supports high transaction throughput—between 2,000 and 15,000 transactions per second—alongside EVM compatibility and a low-code smart contract builder, making it a strong foundation for payments and scalable dApps.

BlockDAG’s presale experience is enhanced by real-time trading simulations via Dashboard V4, which provides live charts and order book data. The platform also uses a referral tracking system and gamified engagement tools such as Buyer Battles and leaderboards to maintain community interest and participation. Strategic partnerships with the Seattle Seawolves and Seattle Orcas introduce BDAG to broader audiences through NFTs and fan tokens. Early investors have already seen a 2,660% return since Batch 1, underscoring the project’s strong early performance.

While Litecoin benefits from a post-halving supply dynamic and AVAX advances in RWA adoption, BlockDAG’s pre-launch execution sets it apart. The project’s hybrid architecture, confirmed exchange listings, and mainstream integration efforts provide a launch-ready ecosystem with early traction and scalability. For investors looking to position themselves for the next market cycle, BlockDAG could offer a more complete and immediate long-term opportunity compared to its counterparts.
