SEI Eyes 160% Rally on $0.35 Breakout as BlockDAG Presale Surpasses $379M With 25 Billion Tokens Sold

The cryptocurrency market remained active this week with notable performances from SEI, PENGU, and BlockDAG. SEI showed bullish technical signals, with analysts forecasting a potential 160% rally to $0.90 if it successfully breaks through the $0.35 resistance level [1]. The Layer 1 network has surpassed 1 million daily wallets and processes 2.8 million daily transactions, outperforming competitors like Aptos and Injective. Its total value locked (TVL) increased by 274% to $636 million, partly driven by a $500 million liquidity boost from Stargate Finance. Additionally, stablecoin activity, particularly USDC, has surged due to integration with Circle, giving SEI an edge in circulating supply metrics [2].

Meanwhile, PENGU continued to gain traction, rising 5.9% in the last 24 hours to $0.0379 and achieving a 10% weekly gain. With a trading volume of $785.63 million—a 19.62% increase—the project is capitalizing on meme coin and NFT momentum. The Pudgy Penguins NFT brand is generating nearly 1 billion daily impressions and has launched its first game, with more in development. PENGU recently won Kraken’s Meme Coin Showdown with Williams Racing, outpacing DOG and BONK in volume and securing a branding partnership with a Formula 1 team. Institutional interest also grew, with Nasdaq-listed firm BTCS Inc. acquiring three Pudgy Penguin NFTs for its $300 million portfolio [3]. Speculation is also rising around a potential CBOE-backed ETF and ongoing SEC regulatory developments.

However, the most notable development this week was the progress made by BlockDAG. At $0.0276 in Batch 29, the project’s presale has raised over $379 million and sold 25 billion tokens, with a planned $0.05 launch price. The launch of Dashboard V4 has significantly enhanced user interaction, offering features such as live price charts, wallet balances, and a competitive leaderboard, which simulate a live trading environment before the official launch. The platform’s Proof-of-Engagement model has attracted 2.5 million mobile miners through the X1 app, enabling users to earn BDAG without high-end hardware [4]. Furthermore, “Buyer Battles” incentivize competition by rewarding the day’s top buyer with leftover allocations, driving engagement and volume. BlockDAG’s innovative approach is turning a traditional presale into a dynamic, interactive experience, setting it apart from projects that rely solely on hype.

SEI and PENGU are both supported by strong narratives—SEI by its fundamental performance and PENGU by its cultural branding—though both remain sensitive to market sentiment and specific catalysts. In contrast, BlockDAG is demonstrating measurable adoption and ecosystem development. Its presale has not only reached a high funding threshold but also created a sense of real-time market participation through tools like Dashboard V4. This level of engagement is rare in pre-launch environments and positions BlockDAG to maintain attention beyond the initial hype phase [5].
