The 2025 crypto market has included a number of high-profile launches. BlockDAG (BDAG) says it has raised more than $381 million and sold 25 billion tokens as part of its token sale. These figures have not been independently verified.
Supporters point to the project’s technical design, community activity, and developer interest as reasons for attention. However, early fundraising and user metrics do not determine how a token will perform if it later becomes tradable on exchanges.
The project says it is in “Batch 29” with a price of $0.0276 and is targeting $600 million in total fundraising.
In a year when liquidity conditions have shifted across digital assets, the project’s reported demand is notable. Still, token sale results and “sell-through” rates are marketing metrics and should not be treated as a proxy for future market demand or price.
Inside BlockDAG’s Architecture
BlockDAG describes its design as combining Proof-of-Work with a DAG (directed acyclic graph) structure, which it says is intended to improve security and throughput. The team has reported early testing results of up to 10 blocks per second; these figures are not independently verified and may change as the network evolves.
Commentary around the project often focuses on whether it can translate technical goals into a stable, widely used network after launch, which remains uncertain.
BlockDAG also says it supports EVM compatibility, which could make it easier for developers to port Ethereum-based applications. The project reports more than 4,500 developers building over 300 applications prior to launch, spanning areas such as DeFi and gaming; these claims have not been independently verified.
As with other early-stage networks, developer counts and pre-launch app announcements can shift over time, and shipping production-ready applications depends on security reviews, tooling, and sustained usage.
On the adoption side, the project says its X1 Miner app has more than 2.5 million users, which it positions as a large pre-mainnet user base. These figures are not independently verified and may include different categories of activity (such as downloads, registrations, or active users).
BlockDAG also reports that 19,000 ASIC miners have been sold, representing $7.7 million in hardware tied to the ecosystem. Hardware sales, however, do not guarantee sustained network participation or token demand.
Overall, the combination of reported users and mining-related participation is presented by the project as evidence of interest, though the durability of that interest will depend on the network’s performance, security, and real-world usage after launch.
Price Discussion and Uncertainty
Some market commentators have discussed possible post-listing price levels for BDAG, including references to the $1 mark over a 12–18 month period. Any such targets are speculative, and outcomes can vary widely based on market conditions, circulating supply, exchange availability, and project execution.
Comparisons to prior Layer 1 launches are also common in crypto commentary, but those examples differ significantly in timing, funding structure, adoption, and broader market context.
How BlockDAG Describes Its Growth
BlockDAG’s materials emphasize milestone-driven progress, including testnet activity, mining initiatives, a developer hackathon, and partnerships it says it has formed with sports brands. As with other early-stage projects, readers may want to look for primary sources, contract addresses, audit reports, and independently verifiable disclosures when available.
The project’s fundraising scale has led to increased visibility. That said, “successful” token sales can still be followed by significant volatility, delays, security incidents, or changes in token economics, and there is no assurance of future performance.
Looking Ahead
Based on figures cited by the team, BlockDAG reports $381 million raised, 25 billion tokens sold, more than 2.5 million app users, and thousands of developers building ahead of launch. These metrics are project-reported and should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
The project has also promoted early-batch versus later-batch price differences during its token sale. Such comparisons are not evidence of realized gains and do not predict future market pricing once trading begins (if it does). Potential participants should consider the risks, including liquidity, lockups/vesting, smart-contract and operational risk, and the possibility of loss.
