Polkadot News Today: BlockDAG Hits $374M Presale Driven by 2.5M Users and 19K Miners Sold

BlockDAG has emerged as the standout project in the cryptocurrency presale market, having raised over $374 million through its ongoing funding round. The project is currently in Batch 29 of its presale, with each token priced at $0.0276. This marks a significant milestone, positioning BlockDAG as the largest crypto presale since 2018 and surpassing past high-profile projects like Filecoin and Polkadot in both speed and scale [7].

The project’s success is supported by a rapidly growing user base, with over 2.5 million users on its X1 Miner app and more than 19,250 ASIC miners sold globally. Additionally, BlockDAG has attracted over 200,000 token holders and 4,500 developers who are building over 300 decentralized applications on the network [9]. These figures highlight not just capital accumulation but also early-stage ecosystem development.

At the core of BlockDAG’s technological offering is a hybrid architecture that merges blockchain with a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), enabling the network to process up to 15,000 transactions per second. This design supports high scalability and efficiency, while a dual consensus mechanism ensures robust security [1]. The network also features EVM compatibility, allowing for seamless integration of Ethereum-based applications.

Whale activity in the current batch has intensified, with analysts noting a potential 3,522% return on investment if the token reaches $1 post-launch, based on the current presale price [9]. While these projections are speculative, the project’s rapid adoption and strong community support suggest a bullish outlook. With $226 million still to be raised to meet its $600 million goal, the presale continues to attract both retail and institutional attention [2].

Beyond fundraising, BlockDAG has established a global brand presence through sponsorships with major sports teams such as Inter Milan, Seattle Seawolves, and Seattle Orcas. This visibility is expected to drive further adoption and liquidity once the project launches on 20 major exchanges [1]. As the presale progresses, the remaining token supply at current prices is depleting quickly, increasing urgency for potential participants.

BlockDAG’s success underscores a shift in the crypto market toward projects with clear utility, technological depth, and immediate real-world adoption. With a strong foundation in both technology and community, the project is setting a new benchmark for what a Layer-1 presale can achieve in 2025 [2].
