XRP News Today: BlockDAG Payouts $1.2M as Ethena Rises 150% and XRP Eyes Breakout

BlockDAG has made headlines with a $1.206 million giveaway to 10 winners, equivalent to 10 BTC, marking a significant milestone in community engagement and project development [1]. The winners, identified via their wallet addresses, received the reward as part of a campaign that emphasizes transparency and community recognition. This event comes as BlockDAG’s presale continues to gain traction, having raised over $374 million in Batch 29, with a current token price of $0.0276. Since the first batch, the project has delivered a 2,660% return on investment, with more than 25 billion BDAG tokens sold to date [1]. The combination of substantial presale growth and generous reward mechanisms has positioned BlockDAG as one of the most dynamic projects entering 2025.

Ethena has also made a strong showing, with its token (ENA) surging 150% in price over the past month [1]. The rise is attributed to increased adoption and a $10 billion total value locked (TVL) milestone, which reflects growing confidence in the project’s ecosystem. Technical indicators further support the bullish movement, with a golden cross forming on the ENA chart—typically a sign of sustained upward momentum [1]. This rapid growth highlights the synergy between network expansion and favorable technical conditions, making Ethena one of the most notable performers in the current market cycle.

XRP, on the other hand, appears poised for a breakout as price action moves beyond key resistance levels [1]. A stable base has formed near $3.00, supported by a daily trading volume exceeding $500 million. Analysts suggest that XRP could rise toward $10, driven by two main factors: the expansion of RippleNet’s On-Demand Liquidity and progress in achieving regulatory clarity [1]. Technical indicators, such as moving average crossovers, also point to a shift in momentum, reinforcing the possibility of a significant price move. With these signals aligning, XRP has become one of the most closely watched assets as the market approaches 2025.

The performances of BlockDAG, Ethena, and XRP illustrate different yet complementary strategies for achieving growth in the crypto space [1]. While Ethena’s focus on adoption and TVL has fueled rapid price gains, XRP’s breakout potential is supported by both technical and regulatory developments. BlockDAG, however, stands out for its unique combination of presale success, ROI, and community-driven incentives, demonstrating how measurable results and engagement can drive sustained momentum. These projects reflect a broader trend in crypto—where innovation, adoption, and community involvement are converging to create new opportunities.
