As crypto holders digest global policy shifts, two standout stories are commanding attention. Bitcoin got a lift from Donald Trump’s tariff promises, while BlockDAG lit up its presale with a headline-making Keynote 3. With over $208 million now raised, BlockDAG is quickly becoming one of the most heavily supported Layer-1 launches on the horizon.
The difference is clear. Bitcoin’s bounce came from political headlines, but BlockDAG is moving the needle through development, delivery, and real milestones. While the broader market looks ahead nervously, BlockDAG is charging forward with clarity and purpose.
Bitcoin’s recent jump was triggered by Trump’s announcement that, if re-elected, he’d push for a 25% tariff on any cars made outside the U.S. That move, aimed at reshoring manufacturing, shook traditional markets—but gave crypto a bullish jolt.
Bitcoin has held its gains above $87,000, according to FXStreet, as investors shift funds into decentralized assets amid concerns over trade policies and inflation. Altcoins such as AVAX, SOL, and Chainlink are also climbing, benefiting from rising demand for non-sovereign assets.
Still, Bitcoin’s movement hinges on outside factors. Meanwhile, BlockDAG is putting results on the table—and investors are paying attention.
Keynote 3 wasn’t just another promotional event. BlockDAG’s CEO Antony Turner, backed by developers and researchers, laid out a data-packed presentation detailing key milestones:
Beta Testnet V1 live, featuring a new explorer, smart contract tools, and NFT creators
$60,000 rewards pool launched for top-performing testnet wallets
Presale total surpasses $208 million from 170,000+ buyers
Target raised to $600 million before the Token Generation Event
Performance roadmap to scale from 2,000 TPS at mainnet to 15,000 TPS in 24 months
This wasn’t theory—it was execution on display.
“Our Mainnet launch will be a game-changer,” Turner said. “We’re starting at 2,000 transactions per second, and plan to hit 15,000 within two years. That puts us ahead of most proof-of-work networks out there.”
It’s a direct shot at current leaders—and a bold claim backed by a hybrid DAG + proof-of-work structure focused on real throughput and flexibility.
Keynote 3 also zoomed in on BlockDAG’s developer strategy. It’s not just about building a network—it’s about equipping people to build on it. The initiatives include:
BlockDAG Academy: A structured learning path for all levels, teaching everything from tokenomics to dApp creation
Grants Program: Funding developers across DeFi, gaming, and infrastructure
Hackathons: Competitive events to generate real dApps before launch
Bug Bounty: Security-first incentives for finding vulnerabilities before mainnet
This isn’t just about creating buzz. With 750,000 mobile miners and 400,000 Tap Miner users already active, BlockDAG has the community—now it’s building the ecosystem.
While many would consider $208 million a win, BlockDAG sees it as just the halfway point. The new target? $600 million before launch. The current presale price is $0.0248 in batch 27, with each batch bringing higher prices and lower availability.
The funds are already in motion. Keynote 3 confirmed they’re being used to hire globally, prepare for exchange listings, finalize security audits by Certik and Halborn, and launch the mainnet.
And it’s all moving fast—because BlockDAG isn’t trying to time the market. It’s trying to reshape it.
Trump’s trade rhetoric might have sparked a Bitcoin rally, but the real momentum is coming from BlockDAG. While most of the market waits for clarity, BlockDAG is sprinting ahead—raising $208M, launching a testnet, and pushing toward 15,000 TPS.
With an engaged community, live tools, and a crystal-clear roadmap, it’s not just another presale—it’s the kind of launch that sets the pace for the entire market cycle.
