Solana News Today: BlockDAG Hits 81% Presale Gain as Shiba Inu Pepe Bonk Push Higher in 2025 Crypto Rally

Four cryptocurrencies—BlockDAG, Shiba Inu, Pepe, and Bonk—are currently being highlighted as promising buys in 2025, each offering distinct value propositions driven by presale performance, community engagement, technical development, and market dynamics [1]. The market is seeing renewed interest in these projects, which reflect varying paths to growth and adoption within the crypto landscape.

BlockDAG (BDAG) is emerging as a top contender due to its hybrid architecture combining DAG-based design with Proof-of-Work and EVM compatibility. It supports transaction speeds between 2,000–15,000 TPS and has already raised $375 million across 29 presale batches, with 25 billion coins sold. Early investors in the first batch are reportedly seeing gains of 2,660%. The confirmed $0.05 listing price could bring an 81% return for current buyers [1]. Analysts speculate that the project could reach $1 post-launch, driven by 20 confirmed exchange listings and a growing ecosystem, including 2.5 million daily users on the X1 Mobile Miner app and 4,500 developers building decentralized applications [1].

Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to maintain relevance as a meme-based token with expanding utility. Priced around $0.000014, SHIB has seen a 5% rise in the past 24 hours and a similar weekly increase. It now commands a market cap of nearly $8.3 billion [1]. The project has evolved beyond a meme with the introduction of ShibaSwap and Shibarium, a Layer-2 scaling solution. Additional tokens like LEASH and BONE are enhancing its ecosystem, reinforcing its position as a long-term player in the meme coin space.

Pepe (PEPE), another decentralized meme token, has attracted attention with tax-free, ownerless, and presale-free characteristics. Trading near $0.0000126, it has shown 19% gains over the past seven days and $1.4 billion in 24-hour trading volume [1]. The lack of centralized control and ongoing liquidity support have made it a favorite among speculative investors. Its consistent presence on major exchanges like Binance and CoinMarketCap further underscores its market traction.

Bonk (BONK), built on the Solana blockchain, has also seen a surge in activity. With a price of $0.0000279, it has risen 3–5% in the last 24 hours and 15% over the week [1]. The token benefits from Solana’s high-speed infrastructure and growing DeFi ecosystem. On-chain data indicates increased whale activity, contributing to its volatility and appeal as a short-term trading asset. While analysts consider a $1 price tag unrealistic in the near term, its integration with Solana and liquidity make it a compelling meme-based play.

Together, these four cryptocurrencies represent different facets of the 2025 crypto narrative—presale-driven innovation, community-driven growth, pure decentralization, and network-integrated momentum. Investors are advised to assess their own risk tolerance and investment horizon before engaging with these projects. As the market continues to evolve, these tokens are likely to play a significant role in shaping the next chapter of digital asset adoption [1].
