Across Asia, wealthy families and family offices are increasing their allocations to cryptocurrency as digital assets gain broader recognition. Wealth managers in Singapore, Hong Kong, and mainland China report rising interest, with exchange activity and demand for crypto funds increasing.
UBS has observed that some overseas Chinese family offices now target up to 5% of their portfolios in crypto, while younger generations in these groups research digital assets as potential long-term diversification tools.
Some of this interest has coincided with large market moves—Bitcoin has traded above $124,000 in recent sessions—and policy developments such as Hong Kong’s stablecoin rules and the U.S. GENIUS Act. Market participants often cite these factors as contributing to perceptions of crypto as a more established asset class, though views vary.
Strategies are also evolving. Singapore managers highlight arbitrage and basis trades among high-net-worth investors, while global firms like Fidelity have discussed Bitcoin’s potential role as a portfolio diversifier due to reported correlations with some traditional assets.
This shift reflects a move from limited ETF exposure toward a broader mix that can include direct ownership of tokens and participation in early-stage fundraising events for new projects.
Against this backdrop, token sales for early-stage projects continue to attract attention, often marketed as ways to support development before broader exchange trading begins. Below is an overview of BlockDAG and six other early-stage crypto projects that have been circulating in market discussions. Project details and figures referenced are as described in public project materials and have not been independently verified.
1. BlockDAG (BDAG): reported $388M raised
BlockDAG is promoted as a hybrid Proof-of-Work and DAG network. The project reports raising more than $388 million and selling over 25.5 billion BDAG tokens as part of its token sale. Project materials have also referenced a sale price of $0.03 in “Batch 30” and have discussed plans for a future listing price; any future listing, liquidity, and pricing are not guaranteed.
According to the project, BlockDAG uses a hybrid Proof-of-Work and DAG model and is designed to process multiple blocks per second. The team positions this approach as a way to balance throughput with mining-based consensus.
The project also reports adoption and development metrics, including an “X1 mobile miner” user count, sales of ASIC mining hardware, and an ecosystem of builders and decentralized applications supported by EVM compatibility and low-code tools. These claims should be treated as project-reported and may change over time.
Some market commentary around BlockDAG has included forward-looking rankings and valuation targets. Such projections are inherently speculative, depend on market conditions and execution, and should not be treated as forecasts.
2. JetBolt (JBOLT): Layer 1 network described as high-speed
JetBolt is presented by its team as a Layer 1 blockchain intended for applications such as DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. Project materials describe sub-second transaction times and low fees, positioning the network as an alternative to older designs.
The JBOLT token is described as supporting validator staking and governance. The project also references interoperability goals with Ethereum; integration and adoption outcomes remain uncertain.
3. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER): alternative network using “Bitcoin” branding
Bitcoin Hyper markets itself as a project aiming to support faster payments than Bitcoin. The team describes features such as faster block times, staking mechanisms, and low-cost transfers.
Project materials have referenced low unit pricing during its token sale. The project has also discussed planned integrations and exchange listings; timelines and execution are not guaranteed.
4. Solaxy (SOLX): energy-related tokenization concept
Solaxy describes a concept that links blockchain with renewable energy markets, including tokenization of carbon credits and renewable energy certificates.
According to its materials, SOLX may be used for governance and staking features, and for participation in programs the project characterizes as eco-focused. As with similar initiatives, regulatory, verification, and market-structure considerations may affect how such models work in practice.
5. Snorter Bot (SNORT): bot tooling framed around DeFi use
Snorter Bot describes a set of automated tools and positions them as AI-assisted features for market monitoring and DeFi workflows. The project says holders of the SNORT token can access certain bot-related functionality.
Automated trading or strategy tools can introduce additional technical and market risks, including smart-contract risk, execution risk, and the possibility of losses even when tools function as intended.
6. TOKEN6900 (T6900): meme-oriented token with incentive mechanisms
TOKEN6900 uses meme branding and describes a token model that includes supply “burns,” staking features, and integrations the project associates with NFTs and community contests.
Marketing around meme-oriented tokens often emphasizes low per-token prices, but that framing does not on its own indicate value, liquidity, or long-term viability. Outcomes can be highly volatile.
Final Words on the early-stage crypto token sales
Institutional and family office engagement is one indicator that crypto markets continue to mature, though participation levels vary widely by region, mandate, and risk tolerance. Bitcoin remains a common reference point for broader market sentiment, while early-stage token sales represent a separate, higher-risk segment with limited operating history and uncertain liquidity.
Among the projects listed, BlockDAG is one that has published relatively detailed fundraising and ecosystem figures, including a reported $388M+ raised. Readers should treat all project-reported metrics cautiously and consider the elevated risks associated with early-stage tokens referenced as presale crypto coins in marketing materials.
