XRP News Today: BlockDAG Rises in 2025 Crypto Payments With $383M Presale and 2,660% ROI

BlockDAG has emerged as a standout contender in the 2025 cryptocurrency payment landscape, raising $383 million during its presale by selling 25.5 billion tokens in Batch 29 at $0.0276. This represents a 2,660% return on investment compared to its initial batch price [1]. The project is built on a hybrid DAG-plus-blockchain architecture, enabling parallel confirmations, which offer faster transaction speeds, lower fees, and scalable infrastructure. BlockDAG’s Explorer tool also sets it apart by visualizing smart contract deployments, token movements, and user achievements from its Academy [1]. With 20 major exchange listings secured and a confirmed listing price of $0.05, the project is preparing for a strong market entry. Additionally, the X1 mobile mining app has attracted 2.5 million users, and the sale of 19,440 mining units has generated $7.8 million in hardware revenue [1].

XRP, developed by Ripple Labs, continues to serve as a preferred solution for cross-border settlements, offering near-instant confirmations and minimal transaction costs. Its energy-efficient, non-mining ledger model has helped it regain traction in 2025 amid growing institutional interest and expanded financial partnerships [1]. XRP’s primary appeal lies in large-scale remittance and institutional transactions, rather than everyday consumer spending.

Litecoin (LTC) remains a reliable option for daily crypto payments, with sub-three-minute transaction times and fees under a cent. Widely integrated into major wallets, payment processors, and ATMs, LTC provides a familiar, accessible payment experience. Its Proof-of-Work model and long track record of uptime reinforce its position as a stable, everyday digital currency [1].

TRON (TRX) has found its niche in the Web3 ecosystem, particularly in microtransactions, gaming, and creator platforms. Its blockchain supports fast, low-cost transactions and has become a key infrastructure for stablecoin transfers, notably USDT. TRX is widely used in developing markets where crypto plays a significant role in remittances and digital commerce [1].

Among these, BlockDAG is redefining the payment utility space by combining scalability, transparency, and user accessibility. With a growing user base, strong presale performance, and technical differentiation, it is being positioned as a potential default payment coin in the evolving crypto ecosystem [1].
