Solana News Today: BNB Holds Near $750 as Solana Surges to $171 and BlockDAG Targets 17x Gain to $0.0276

BNB has maintained its position near $750, supported by recent corporate treasury adoption and stable technical indicators, while Solana (SOL) has climbed to $171 amid growing retail and institutional demand. The price movement for Solana has been largely driven by a $12 million whale transaction moving tokens off exchanges, signaling potential long-term bullish positioning. On August 5, Solana recorded a net buy volume of $553,000, marking the third consecutive day of accumulation, and spot netflow remains at -$6.86 million, suggesting a trend of tokens being held rather than sold. Technical indicators, including a golden cross and a 79% long-position ratio in futures, point toward a potential price test at $148, with analysts forecasting a possible rally toward $200 if resistance is overcome [1].

Meanwhile, BNB has remained resilient despite a 1.2% dip in the last 24 hours. A recent $500 million treasury move by CEA Industries, now rebranded as the BNB Network Company, has reinforced the coin's price strength and corporate adoption. The move, led by YZi Labs and supported by 140 institutional partners, underscores BNB’s growing utility beyond speculative trading. Technically, BNB faces short-term resistance at $770, with a break above this level potentially testing the $790–$800 range. However, indicators such as MACD remain mixed, showing a bearish histogram of -8.31, suggesting consolidation unless volume increases past resistance [1].

Despite the strong performances of Solana and BNB, BlockDAG (BDAG) is emerging as a top crypto pick for 2025 due to its favorable risk-to-reward profile. Priced at $0.0016, BlockDAG is set to experience a 17x price surge on August 11, moving to $0.0276. This planned increase has already attracted significant attention, with the project raising over $368 million during its presale. The hybrid blockchain-DAG architecture and EVM compatibility position BlockDAG for scalable smart contract execution and low-code dApp development, distinguishing it from traditional layer-1 platforms [1].

In addition to technical advantages, BlockDAG has secured listings on major exchanges including MEXC, LBank, XT.com, CoinStore, and BitMart, and is the official blockchain partner of the Seattle Orcas (cricket) and Seattle Seawolves (rugby). These strategic partnerships reflect a broader adoption strategy beyond the crypto market. A live 10 BTC auction for presale buyers and the X1 mobile mining app, now with over 2.5 million users, further underline the project’s momentum and user engagement [1].

For investors evaluating the top crypto to buy in 2025, BlockDAG presents a compelling case with its ecosystem development, clear price roadmap, and limited entry window. With the $0.0016 price point expected to disappear in the next 48 hours, the project is drawing comparisons to high-momentum launches with long-term utility. The presale’s success and ongoing institutional interest suggest that the market is already positioning BlockDAG as a potential breakout contender [1].

BNB and Solana continue to serve as pillars of the crypto market, with Solana showing signs of testing the $200 level and BNB stabilizing near its key support. However, BlockDAG’s structured growth, ecosystem development, and limited-time entry opportunity have positioned it as a unique opportunity in the current market environment. While the future for both BNB and Solana remains bullish, BlockDAG’s trajectory appears to offer a higher risk-reward ratio, especially for investors with a medium to long-term outlook [1].
