XRP News Today: BlockDAG Eyes $0.05 Listing Price After $374M Presale Surge

BlockDAG, Shiba Inu, Cardano, and XRP are being closely watched as potential candidates for the next major cryptocurrency to surge in 2025, each offering unique growth catalysts and market dynamics [1]. BlockDAG has gained attention for its record-breaking presale, raising over $374 million out of a $600 million target. The project is leveraging its Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility and hybrid consensus mechanism to build a scalable and secure platform. Current investors who participated in early batches have seen over 2,600% returns, and with a projected listing price of $0.05, further gains appear possible. The project is set to launch on major exchanges including MEXC and BitMart, with ambitions to secure listings on Coinbase and Gemini, potentially enhancing its liquidity and visibility [1].

Beyond exchange listings, BlockDAG is developing a robust ecosystem with over 2.5 million users on its X1 mining app, 200,000 token holders, and 19,000 physical mining units sold. The project is also fostering a strong developer community of 4,500 contributors working on over 300 decentralized applications. These factors position BlockDAG as a strong contender for explosive growth in the near term [1].

Meanwhile, Shiba Inu is showing signs of renewed interest, supported by aggressive burn activity and increased whale buying. The token has surged 8% following a 48,000% spike in burn rate, reinforcing investor confidence. Large holders continue to accumulate, maintaining a significant portion of the total supply. Technically, SHIB is consolidating in a weekly triangle, and a breakout could push the price toward $0.000150. Marketing lead Lucie has suggested that a strong altcoin season could drive SHIB up by 300–600%, particularly if the market cap expands to $30–50 billion, which could benefit the broader Shiba Inu ecosystem [1].

Cardano is another project gaining traction, particularly with the rising speculation around a potential spot ETF approval. The odds of approval have climbed from 63% to 85% in a single week, boosting market sentiment. In just two days, $157 million worth of ADA was added to whale wallets, indicating strong institutional or large-scale accumulation. Technically, ADA is showing strength with key support near $0.70 and a breakout above $0.884 potentially leading to $0.95 and $1. Some long-term analysts project the price could rise above $3 if adoption continues and broader market conditions improve [1].

XRP is benefiting from favorable market conditions and legal developments. The token has risen over 470% in the past year, supported by Ripple’s settlement with the SEC and increasing institutional interest. A symmetrical triangle pattern is forming on its chart, and a breakout above $3.31–$3.32 could propel the price toward $4. Broader macroeconomic factors, including easing inflation and regulatory changes allowing crypto in retirement plans, are also supporting its growth. Analysts have set medium-term targets of $5–$7 and long-term forecasts above $10, making XRP a compelling option for investors seeking a high-momentum, large-cap token [1].

Among these four projects, BlockDAG stands out for its clear trajectory, strong presale results, and targeted exchange listings. With a growing miner base and active development ecosystem, it is positioned for rapid adoption and potential outperformance in the post-listing phase. If its momentum continues, BlockDAG could secure a prominent place among the most-discussed crypto projects in 2025 [1].
