XRP News Today: BlockDAG Hits $364.5M Presale as XRP and XLM Investors Take Notice

BlockDAG (BDAG) has captured the attention of cryptocurrency investors, particularly those with stakes in XRP and XLM, as it approaches a $364.5 million total presale value. With its $0.0016 Global Launch price set to expire on August 11, the opportunity for early investors to acquire BDAG at a fraction of its projected future cost is quickly closing. Post that date, the price will jump to $0.0276—a 17x increase—making the current window a critical consideration for investors seeking entry at the lowest available rate [1].

XRP has shown signs of a potential breakout, currently trading at $3.17 after reaching a July high of $3.70. Technical indicators suggest an ongoing upward trend, with key support now between $3.05 and $3.10. The RSI has dropped to a more neutral 61 from a recent high of 88, signaling a temporary pause rather than a reversal. While the asset benefits from growing institutional attention and a more stable price movement pattern, its performance remains contingent on broader market conditions and confirmed breakout signals [1].

Meanwhile, Stellar (XLM) has drawn renewed interest from traders, particularly after a notable shift in Peter Brandt’s assessment. Previously skeptical about its long-term value, Brandt now forecasts a $1.51 price target, a more than fivefold increase from its current valuation. His prediction is based on a symmetrical triangle pattern, which often precedes significant upward moves. However, reaching this target is conditional on a confirmed breakout and favorable overall market dynamics, making it more of a future opportunity than an immediate investment [1].

What sets BlockDAG apart is its current operational infrastructure and tangible milestones. The Dashboard V4 is already live, enabling real-time trading tests with updated chart data and live balance tracking. The X1 mobile miner app has attracted over 2.5 million users globally, and the project has secured listings on major exchanges including MEXC, BitMart, XT.com, CoinStore, and LBank. These developments position BDAG as a project with immediate utility and clear growth indicators, unlike XRP and XLM, which remain in development or dependent on broader market conditions [1].

Moreover, investors purchasing BDAG before August 11 will gain entry into the 10 BTC Auction, where larger holdings could translate into larger shares of a Bitcoin reward pool. This added incentive is unique to the current phase of the BDAG presale and not available through XRP or XLM at this time. The limited-time offer, combined with a working system and confirmed exchange listings, strengthens the case for BDAG as a compelling investment option in the current crypto landscape [1].

With the presale capped at $600 million, and the $0.0016 rate available only until August 11, the current period offers a definitive time window for investors to enter at the most favorable price point. After that, all new buyers will face the same public listing price, without the advantages of early access or auction participation. While XRP and XLM remain viable long-term options, BDAG is already demonstrating its operational readiness and growth potential, making it a unique proposition in the current market [1].
