XRP News Today: BlockDAG's Hybrid Tech Solves Blockchain Trilemma with 15K TPS and Bitcoin-Level Security

BlockDAG (BDAG) has shattered expectations by raising $430 million in its presale, positioning itself as one of the most anticipated blockchain projects ahead of its mainnet launch, according to Racing Toward the Future. The project, which leverages a hybrid Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof-of-Work (PoW) architecture, has attracted over 312,000 holders and sold 27 billion tokens, as noted in Best Crypto Presale to Buy Now, with Batch 31 currently priced at $0.0015. Analysts highlight its ability to process 2,000–15,000 transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining Bitcoin-level security, addressing the long-standing blockchain trilemma of scalability, decentralization, and security, as discussed in Top 35 Debut Incoming?.

The project's rapid ascent is further fueled by a strategic partnership with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team, which grants BlockDAG global exposure to millions of fans. This collaboration, coupled with a multi-year roadmap featuring 20 confirmed exchange listings, has intensified speculation that BDAG could reach $0.05 at launch and potentially surge to $1 or higher. A Binance-organized AMA on October 24 is expected to provide fresh insights, as reported in Pi Slips, ADA Builds Momentum, ahead of its November 26 Genesis Day, as covered by BlockDAG Nears Genesis Day.

Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) is positioning for a breakout, with technical analysts pointing to a wedge pattern that could drive its price to $2.00 if bullish momentum holds, according to Cardano bullish breakout. The coin has gained support at $0.63–$0.64, with a fully diluted valuation of $29.97 billion. However, some traders argue that while ADA's fundamentals are strong, BlockDAG's tangible progress—including 3.5 million active X1 app miners and 20,000 hardware miners distributed—offers a more compelling near-term narrative.

XRP is also showing signs of recovery, trading above $2.45 as traders anticipate a potential rebound. The token's bullish RSI and MACD indicators suggest fading bearish momentum, according to Ripple Price Forecast, with a daily close above $2.50 seen as a key catalyst, as signaled in XRP Back to $2.48. Additionally, Ripple's treasury firm, Evernorth, plans a SPAC merger to raise $1 billion for XRP purchases, adding institutional credibility to the asset.

BlockDAG's dominance in presale headlines contrasts with struggles in other projects. Pi Network faces liquidity challenges, with its price near $0.26 and fears of thin exchange reserves. Similarly, Solana (SOL) and Arbitrum (ARB) face uncertainty ahead of major token unlocks and ETF approvals, respectively. In this climate, BlockDAG's $430 million in verified presale funding and real-world adoption metrics—such as 3.5 million app users and CertiK/Halborn audits—underscore its appeal to risk-tolerant investors.

As Genesis Day approaches, the project's hybrid architecture and institutional-grade security measures have drawn comparisons to established Layer-1 protocols. With 20 confirmed exchange listings and a projected $0.05 listing price, BlockDAG's post-launch trajectory could see it challenge mid-cap cryptocurrencies for top-tier rankings, as explored in BlockDAG's Post-Launch Outlook.
