Crypto headlines are active again as Ethereum Classic (ETC) trades above $25 and Cardano (ADA) draws attention following comments about a more optimistic market outlook. Both developments have contributed to renewed interest, although short-term sentiment can change quickly.
Separately, BlockDAG says it has raised more than $388 million through a token-sale fundraising process. Project materials also reference a current token price of $0.03 (Batch 30) and a planned launch price of $0.05, though launch timelines and market outcomes are not guaranteed. BlockDAG(BDAG) is one of several early-stage projects drawing attention alongside larger, more established networks.
The project also describes buyer incentives, security features and longer-term projections. Readers should treat these as project claims rather than verified outcomes.
Ethereum Classic Climbs Over $25 But Faces a Critical Test
Ethereum Classic (ETC) moved higher, rising more than 24% in one session and pushing its price from $20.53 to $25.52. It turned $24 into support and is now testing higher levels. A key resistance area to watch is around $26; whether it holds above that level may influence near-term direction.
Open interest is up by 23% in the last 24 hours, and funding rates remain positive, which can indicate increased speculative positioning. The Chaikin Money Flow is at +0.14, and the Money Flow Index suggests continued buying pressure. However, spot-market activity has been mixed: a downward trend in cumulative volume delta (CVD) can point to weaker follow-through from spot buyers.
If ETC drops below $25 and then below $23.50, the recent uptrend could weaken. Any continuation higher would likely require sustained demand rather than short-term leverage-driven activity.
Cardano Fuels Bullish Excitement With Bold Predictions
Cardano (ADA) has drawn attention following comments by its founder, Charles Hoskinson, who argued that a broader rally could emerge. He cited potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and possible regulatory developments such as the CLARITY Act. These are forward-looking views and should be treated as opinion rather than certainty.
Hoskinson also made a joking remark about Ethereum and the possibility of Cardano surpassing it by market capitalization. While the comment was made in a light tone, it reflects Cardano’s long-standing ambition to compete with larger networks.
Cardano has also highlighted partnerships and real-world use cases as part of its strategy. The project has referenced integrating the USD1 stablecoin on Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial platform and engaging with leaders associated with Ripple, Chainlink and Solana, though the scope and status of these efforts may evolve.
BlockDAG’s Reported Fundraising and Buyer Incentives
While ETC and Cardano are being discussed in connection with price levels and forecasts, BlockDAG’s communications have focused on fundraising progress. The project says it has raised more than $388 million in its token sale and that BDAG is priced at $0.03 in Batch 30. It has also stated a planned launch price of $0.05, but any future trading price would depend on market conditions and exchange availability.
BlockDAG also describes a “Buyer Battles” incentive mechanic in which the largest contributor for a given day receives additional tokens from any unsold allocation. Such incentives are marketing mechanisms described by the project and may influence participation dynamics.
On security, BlockDAG says it has completed audits by CertiK and Halborn and that it uses measures such as multi-signature approvals and parallel Proof-of-Work systems. Audit reports and technical claims should be reviewed directly by readers where possible.
Some third-party commentary has circulated price targets for BDAG after launch, including figures such as $1 or $10, but these are speculative and not reliable indicators of future performance. The project also says more than 3 million users are mining BDAG via its X1 app; this figure has not been independently verified in this article.
Final Thoughts
Ethereum Classic’s move past $25 is a price level market participants are watching. Cardano’s founder has offered a more optimistic outlook tied to macro and regulatory expectations, though those expectations may or may not materialize.
BlockDAG’s updates focus on fundraising figures, incentive mechanics and security claims, all of which should be assessed carefully by readers. Early-stage token sales can involve significant risks, including limited liquidity, changing timelines and heightened volatility.
