BlockDAG $386M Presale Outshines Worldcoin and Shiba Inu

The crypto market in 2025 is filled with stark contrasts. Some projects are weighed down by regulatory challenges and fading hype, while others are making headway with clear products, expanding communities, and momentum that is impossible to ignore.

Worldcoin (WLD), once hailed for its iris-scanning technology and futuristic vision, is now buckling under global pushback. Shiba Inu (SHIB), long a meme-driven favorite, is struggling to maintain relevance, even as traders keep an eye on historic support levels.

Then there is BlockDAG (BDAG). Unlike the others, it has quickly risen to the top of the conversation by backing bold claims with tangible delivery. With $386 million raised, 25.5 billion tokens sold, and a 2,900% ROI already achieved from its earliest presale batches, BlockDAG is no longer just another presale name.

Worldcoin (WLD): Regulatory Headwinds and Bearish Technicals

Worldcoin’s story has shifted from bold innovation to regulatory pressure. Trading around $0.94, the token has dropped 6% over the past week, and analysts warn that a move toward $0.50 could be on the horizon if sentiment doesn’t improve.

The problems are mounting. On August 14, China’s Ministry of State Security declared Worldcoin’s iris-scanning practices a national security risk, adding to a growing list of governments raising red flags. Earlier, regulators in Germany launched an investigation, while Brazil, France, and India suspended its activities altogether. With 46% of its user base in Asia, these restrictions cut directly into the markets that once promised growth.

From a technical standpoint, the outlook looks shaky. Worldcoin has failed to reclaim the $1.28 resistance, and it now trades below all major moving averages. The 7-day SMA sits at $1.02 and the 30-day at $1.07, both pointing down. Momentum indicators confirm weakness, with the MACD histogram at -0.006 and the August 17 low of $0.913 now serving as a critical line. A decisive drop through that level could accelerate declines toward $0.85, with $0.50 as the ultimate bearish target.

Yet speculative energy persists. Open interest remains high at $290 million, showing traders are still attracted to volatility despite declining fundamentals.

Shiba Inu (SHIB): Support Test at $0.000010

Shiba Inu continues to wrestle with its meme-coin identity. Trading near $0.00001261, SHIB has slipped 4.5% in the last week and is down more than 35% year-to-date. Its saving grace may be the $0.000010 support level, which has repeatedly sparked rebounds in the past.

History supports this view. SHIB dropped to $0.00000714 in July 2022 before staging a strong rally. Similar recoveries followed in June and October 2023, and again at multiple points in 2025. For many traders, $0.000010 remains the line in the sand for SHIB’s survival as a bullish asset.

If momentum holds and SHIB can break above its descending trendline, analysts see explosive upside potential. Targets include $0.00003364 (170%), $0.00005480 (330%), and even $0.00007716 (500%). But short-term forecasts are more restrained, with most expecting movement between $0.000012–$0.000013 through September.

Market sentiment reflects this divide. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 60 (Greed), showing optimism, but technical indicators lean bearish. Whale activity and exchange flows are expected to determine whether SHIB can repeat its history of rebounds or if this time support fails to hold.

BlockDAG (BDAG): The Top Crypto of 2025

While Worldcoin wrestles with regulators and Shiba Inu clings to support, BlockDAG has been quietly rewriting what a presale can achieve. It has raised $386M, sold 25.5B tokens, and reached Batch 30 at $0.03, delivering 2,900% ROI for Batch 1 participants who entered at $0.001. With a projected listing price of $0.05 and long-term analyst forecasts eyeing a climb toward $1, BlockDAG is shaping up as the year’s defining project.

Its momentum comes not just from fundraising, but from actual products that are already in the hands of users. The release of Dashboard V4 has transformed presale engagement by simulating a live trading environment. Participants can track real-time BDAG charts, wallet balances, order books, referral data, and purchase leaderboards.

Adoption is accelerating through mining as well. The X1 mobile miner app already has 2.5 million users, each capable of earning up to 20 BDAG daily. The X10 plug-and-play miner, which can generate 200 BDAG per day, has sold 19,501 units, generating $7.8M in revenue. These milestones show that BlockDAG is not just preparing for launch it is already building an active user base and revenue streams.

Partnerships and visibility have followed. BlockDAG has secured sponsorships with Inter Milan and other sports franchises, connecting with mainstream audiences. It has also confirmed 20 exchange listings, ensuring liquidity and accessibility from day one.

Community engagement is another strength. Features like Buyer Battles, where the day’s largest buyer earns unsold allocations, gamify the presale. The BlockDAG Academy, a three-tier education system with on-chain certification, is already attracting participants eager to deepen their blockchain knowledge.

Final Verdict

The 2025 market has revealed three very different stories. Worldcoin is weighed down by regulatory crackdowns and bearish charts, making recovery a steep uphill battle. Shiba Inu continues to hover near historical support, with its future hinting on whether sentiment and whale activity can generate another rebound.

BlockDAG, however, has surged into the spotlight by doing what many others fail to do: delivering real results before listing. With $386M raised, 25.5B tokens sold, Batch 30 priced at $0.03, $7.8M in miner sales, 3M app users, and a 2,900% ROI for early buyers, it has proven its momentum is more than speculation.
