Crypto token sales have become more visible over the past few market cycles. Some projects now raise significant sums before tokens are available on major exchanges, though fundraising levels and timelines vary widely across initiatives.
In 2025, four projects drawing attention in this area include TOKEN6900, Bitcoin Hyper, Maxi Doge and BlockDAG (BDAG), each of which describes a different product focus and token-distribution approach.
Together, the four projects highlight how early-stage fundraising and distribution can influence the narrative around new crypto assets. Any token sale carries material risks, and outcomes depend on execution, market conditions and broader adoption.
1. BlockDAG: Project-reported $365M raised ahead of planned launch
BlockDAG says it has raised $365 million and sold 24.8 billion BDAG to date. The project also reports completing 28 sale batches and having roughly 200,000 holders ahead of a planned broader rollout. BlockDAG’s materials list a token-sale price of $0.0016 at the time of writing and reference August 11 as a key date in its schedule; timelines and pricing plans can change.
BlockDAG also cites ecosystem activity, including more than 2.5 million users mining via its X1 app and 4,500 developers working on over 300 Web3 projects on its platform. These figures are project-reported and have not been independently verified.
As with other early-stage crypto projects, fundraising totals and stated plans do not indicate future performance, and exchange listings (if pursued) depend on third parties and market factors.
2. TOKEN6900: Meme token with a project-described staking feature
TOKEN6900 describes itself as a meme-driven project and references SPX6900 as part of its branding narrative. Built on Ethereum, it emphasizes community and humor in its public-facing materials.
According to the project, TOKEN6900 includes a staking mechanism with advertised rewards of up to 35% APY, though such rates are variable and are not guaranteed. The project also reports raising $1.6 million and lists a token-sale price of $0.00685 at the time of writing.
3. Bitcoin Hyper: Project pitches a Bitcoin-focused scaling approach using Solana VM
Bitcoin Hyper says it aims to bring higher throughput to Bitcoin-linked applications by using Solana’s virtual machine, while maintaining a connection to Bitcoin’s base layer. The project positions this architecture as a way to support applications such as DeFi, gaming and meme tokens, though technical feasibility and adoption remain uncertain.
The project reports raising more than $7 million, with the $HYPER token listed at $0.012525 in its token sale at the time of writing. It also advertises optional staking ahead of launch with stated rewards of up to 150% APY; staking terms, reward rates and risks can change and may not be sustained.
4. Maxi Doge: Meme branding with project-described engagement features
Maxi Doge uses fitness-themed meme branding and promotes community engagement through features it describes as competitions, staking pools and tournaments. As with many meme-focused tokens, messaging and community activity may be a significant part of the project’s strategy.
The project says it has raised $350,000 and lists a token-sale price of $0.0002505 at the time of writing. Maxi Doge also advertises staking rewards that it describes as high, but such incentives are typically variable and may be adjusted or discontinued.
Key Insights
Across these four projects, themes include meme-led community building (TOKEN6900 and Maxi Doge), a stated focus on scaling and application support (Bitcoin Hyper), and a project-claimed ecosystem footprint alongside large fundraising figures (BlockDAG). Investors and readers should treat project-reported numbers and projected timelines as claims that may change and that can be difficult to independently verify in real time.
BlockDAG’s fundraising scale, if accurate, would place it among the larger reported token sales in this group. However, fundraising totals and product roadmaps do not ensure successful delivery, liquidity, or market demand after any listing.
