BDAG Crosses $260M Milestone as SUI Expands and Tether Stays on Top

BlockDAG Raises $260M Ahead of its GO LIVE Reveal on June 13; Tether Dominates Stablecoins & SUI’s DeFi Value Climbs

The crypto space continues to evolve, with different leaders making their mark in distinct ways. Tether (USDT) has firmly held its place in the stablecoin arena, supporting daily liquidity. On the other side, SUI is making noise through ecosystem growth and increased stablecoin volume.

Still, the one gaining the most attention is BlockDAG (BDAG). With over $260 million raised already and its GO LIVE reveal scheduled for June 13, it’s making headlines as one of the top cryptos to watch in 2025. This reveal will announce the names of 20 exchanges BlockDAG is set to list on, 5 of which are already confirmed.

It offers confirmed listings, a fixed price of $0.0020 until June 13, and tools that reward buyers daily. With 21 billion coins sold, the platform stands as a strong pick for anyone tracking meaningful blockchain adoption.

Tether Holds Strong as the Stablecoin Market Leader

Tether (USDT) holds a dominant spot among stablecoins, now representing over 62% of the total $243.8 billion market. Its role in daily trades and liquidity flows makes it the go-to for users during uncertain times.

Its market cap has climbed past $151 billion, a reflection of its continued demand and reliability. Tether also integrates with top DeFi protocols and exchanges, giving users flexibility and ease when navigating market conditions.

However, despite this dominance, Tether stays within a limited function. While it provides consistent performance, it does not push boundaries. That’s where projects like BlockDAG show potential. Instead of being just a medium of exchange, BlockDAG brings infrastructure-level features and growth tools for users.

SUI’s Rapid DeFi Growth Signals Rising User Confidence

SUI is a Layer-1 blockchain focused on speed and scalability. It’s now beginning to show strong results. The supply of stablecoins on SUI crossed $1 billion recently, jumping 218% in half a year. This growth hints at deeper confidence in its DeFi potential.

The project’s total value locked (TVL) has also risen to $2.1 billion, a sign of rising capital across SUI protocols. As of now, SUI trades near $3.79, with some analysts pointing toward a mid-term price target of $10.

But even with this growth, SUI competes in a saturated Layer-1 market. It lacks certain things like wide user incentives, exchange presence, and simple access. That’s where BlockDAG is filling the gaps with better availability and user-driven strategies.

BlockDAG Hits $260M and Prepares for June 13 GO LIVE Reveal

BlockDAG’s crypto presale has surged past $260 million, moving closer to its $600 million goal. At the moment, the project offers BDAG coins for $0.0020, a rate frozen until June 13. After that, Batch 28 pricing will shift to $0.0262, reflecting a 2,520% jump from the first batch.

June 13 is also when the GO LIVE reveal will happen. That’s when BlockDAG will announce the full list of 20 centralized exchanges set to list BDAG. Five are already confirmed: BitMart, CoinStore, XT.com, MEXC, and LBank. It’s rare to see listings locked in before public trading starts, but BlockDAG is offering that clarity.

This date is not the trading launch. It’s a visibility update to showcase what’s ahead. Real trading begins only after the $600 million cap is reached. Until then, early backers gain access under fixed terms.

The Buyer Battles program gives out 150 million coins daily. If not fully bought, the top buyer gets the leftovers. This model boosts daily activity and rewards aggressive buying.

A 25% referral program adds another layer of growth. Referrals are helping add new users each day. On the hardware side, the X10, X30, and X100 crypto miners are ready for delivery. These will be used post-mainnet launch. BlockDAG is already delivering tools before it even lists, proving it’s more than just ideas.

Tether still leads the stablecoin sector. SUI shows fast growth in DeFi. But BlockDAG is moving with structure, clear goals, and real infrastructure. With $260M raised, over 20.9B coins sold, 150M daily Buyer Battles, and a $0.0020 fixed offer until June 13, it’s building the path, not just planning it.
