XRP News Today: BlockDAG Secures $353M With 2,660% Presale Gains as Enterprise Deals Emerge Litecoin Surges 10% and XRP Eyes $16.17

BlockDAG has secured over $353 million in funding and sold 24.4 billion coins in its presale, positioning itself as a long-term infrastructure project with enterprise integration potential [1]. The project, which operates on a hybrid Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof-of-Work model, is set to launch its mainnet in 2025 after securing 20 exchange listings. Early participants in the presale have already seen a 2,660% increase in holdings since Batch 1, with the current Batch 29 price fixed at $0.0016 until August 11 [1]. A developing U.S. partnership, though not yet disclosed, has drawn attention for its potential to integrate BlockDAG into enterprise systems such as fintech, tech companies, or retail platforms, enabling use cases like tokenized loyalty programs or decentralized identity solutions. Analysts emphasize that unlike speculative coins, BlockDAG’s value lies in its focus on real-world utility and scalability [1].

Litecoin (LTC) surged 10.13% in a single day, reaching $90.13, accompanied by a 28% rise in trading volume. The coin maintained its gains, prompting speculation about a potential trend reversal. With a market capitalization of $6.7 billion, Litecoin’s sustained momentum suggests growing institutional or retail interest in its role as a utility-driven asset [1]. Technical analysis indicates that if Litecoin breaks key resistance levels, it could signal a longer-term uptrend, though analysts caution that the move remains speculative [1].

XRP, meanwhile, has drawn attention after breaking above critical resistance levels, with analyst Lark Davis noting a symmetrical triangle breakout pattern that could push the asset toward $4.10–$4.68 in the short term. More ambitious projections suggest XRP could reach $8.96 or $16.17 by late 2025, supported by indicators like the MVRV golden cross. A structural shift in weekly charts has also reinforced bullish sentiment, with $3 emerging as a potential support level [1].

While Litecoin and XRP’s recent gains reflect market momentum, BlockDAG distinguishes itself through its tangible progress in enterprise adoption and infrastructure development. The project’s hybrid technology balances decentralization with high-volume processing capabilities, making it a candidate for boardroom-level deployment [1]. With a mainnet launch in 2025 and an active presale, BlockDAG’s focus on practical applications contrasts with the short-term volatility of other cryptocurrencies.
