Ethereum is gaining strength, and Algorand may be preparing for a move higher, but another project is drawing attention through a different path. BlockDAG (BDAG) has now passed $309.5 million in presale funding and is still available at $0.0018 per coin until June 20, even though batch 29 is priced at $0.0276.
This short-term access, along with growing user activity and live mining features, is moving BlockDAG into focus. It stands out not through speculation, but through usage and visible growth. In 2025’s changing crypto space, how does BlockDAG compare with larger names like Ethereum and Algorand?
Ethereum Pushes Higher as Staking Drives New Confidence
Ethereum (ETH) is showing renewed strength in the smart contract market. After moving sideways for some time, ETH has reached a two-week high, supported by a rise in staking and long-term holding.
Recent reports show more users are locking ETH, showing belief in the network’s post-Merge changes and its proof-of-stake design. Analysts suggest this rise is not just based on short-term moves but reflects trust in Ethereum’s future.
Ethereum still holds a top place in the crypto market and has strong developer backing. But as it becomes more connected to larger institutions, it may offer less movement for those looking for quick growth. That shift is pushing attention toward projects like BlockDAG, which appeal more to users seeking early-stage opportunities.
Algorand Shows Recovery Signs with $1 Target in Sight
Algorand (ALGO) is starting to show positive signals again. Analysts point out that ALGO has entered an accumulation zone. If support between $0.16 and $0.20 continues to hold, the price may push back toward $1.00.
Algorand is built for scalable blockchain use, with a focus on government and enterprise adoption. Its base remains solid, though price momentum has stayed quiet in recent months. Many who hold ALGO are waiting for broader market moves to help lift the price.
While ALGO’s future depends on how external systems accept and use it, BlockDAG is building through direct user action. Its growth is coming from a live mining app and an expanding network, already in motion and active.
BlockDAG Crosses $309.5M with Community-Driven Progress
What makes BlockDAG different is its consistent delivery and user-first approach. It has now raised over $309.5 million, sold more than 22.8 billion BDAG coins, and brought in 2 million users who are already mining through the X1 mobile app.
Unlike Ethereum and Algorand, which had early support from large institutions, BlockDAG has grown through support from the wider public. There are no venture capital allocations, no private deals, and no central control. This open setup appeals to people who prefer transparency and fair access.
BlockDAG has also launched a limited-time window, pricing BDAG at $0.0018 until June 20, which is below the current batch price of $0.0276. This allows more users to join early. While many crypto presale projects focus on plans, BlockDAG is already live. Its X1 app lets users mine BDAG from their phones, with over 2 million people already active.
And this is just the starting point.
The X-series mining hardware, including X10, X30, and X100, is planned for release this summer:
- X30 and X100 will begin reaching early testers on June 30
- X10 devices are set to ship starting August 15
This combined system of mobile access and hardware options makes mining open to everyone. It helps reduce centralization and encourages steady, real usage.
By starting mining ahead of exchange listings, BlockDAG ensures early participants are active in the network, not just waiting for prices to change.
Now let’s look at the math.
At the current $0.0018 price (until June 20), potential returns vary depending on future price movement:
- If BDAG reaches $1: That would be a 555x increase
- If it climbs to $4: That becomes a 2,122x jump
- If it hits $20: The return could reach 11,111x
Even a small rise to $0.10 would still give a 5.5x gain for early users, before listings or full ecosystem launch.
With the progress already made, including a working mining app, upcoming hardware rollout, and more than $309.5 million raised, these targets are starting to look more possible.
Final Analysis
Ethereum is growing through staking, and Algorand is entering a build-up phase. Both continue to play important roles in the crypto space. But they don’t currently offer the same early access or open approach seen with BlockDAG.
With BDAG at $0.0018 only until June 20, a live mining network that includes mobile and hardware, and nine-figure funds already raised, BlockDAG stands out by showing real progress.
In a space where attention often goes to early hype, BlockDAG is focused on action. It’s building first, raising funds through results, and delivering step by step. For those looking beyond the usual crypto names, it may be one of the most interesting options right now.
