BlockDAG’s $269M Milestone and June Exchange Reveal Draw Attention: Is Holding BDAG a Smarter Move in 2025?

BlockDAG’s presale has now topped $269 million, and attention is shifting to the next step in its roadmap. The BDAG price remains fixed at $0.0020 until June 13, offering a final phase before the return to higher batch pricing. While some may think June 13 signals the start of exchange trading, that is not the case.

On that date, the BlockDAG (BDAG) team plans to announce the list of 20 centralized exchanges that are set to list BDAG once the $600 million presale target is achieved. This plan keeps the focus on completing the presale while preparing for listings with strong visibility. With its testnet already live, a growing user base, and ongoing community engagement, BlockDAG is continuing its progress in stages.

$269M Raised and a Key June 13 Announcement

Crossing $269 million makes BlockDAG’s presale one of the biggest of the year. The current price of $0.0020 remains in place until June 13, offering a limited-time rate. After that, pricing moves back to standard batch levels, so early access at this tier will close.

June 13 is not the day BDAG will be listed. Instead, it’s when the project will share the full list of 20 centralized exchanges that will support BDAG, but only once the full $600 million presale is complete. This gives the team room to build momentum and plan the listing schedule after all stages are sold out. The presale structure, combined with the rollback pricing model, created room for broader participation. Now, the upcoming announcement offers more detail on what’s next.

Those joining now are not only locking in the lowest rate but will also be ahead of the wider market in knowing where BDAG will appear once listings begin.

Built to Scale Right from the Start

BlockDAG is not just another project on a blockchain. It’s a Layer 1 network using a hybrid setup of Proof-of-Work and Directed Acyclic Graph. This design supports multiple block confirmations at the same time, increasing transaction speed and lowering costs. It also avoids the slowdowns common in older networks and creates a better experience for both users and developers.

Since March, the beta testnet has been running and already supports ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 standards. It features a real-time explorer, a tool for no-code token and NFT creation, and a full smart contract IDE. This progress is not only happening behind the scenes. It’s built for use as soon as the mainnet is ready. With strong testnet activity and developer tools already active, BlockDAG is showing it can support real use from day one. From launching tokens and NFT projects to full dApps, the setup is ready. When exchange listings come after the $600 million presale goal is reached, the network won’t need to wait to be useful.

Mining Activity and Growing Community Support

BlockDAG already has one of the most active communities among presale-stage networks. Over one million users are currently mining BDAG through the X1 app. Another 400,000 log in daily to the Tap to Earn game. These numbers show steady activity that even many live networks have yet to see. It creates a solid base before the network officially launches.

The team has also delivered more than 17,700 hardware miners, which will support the network’s mining process once mainnet is live. BlockDAG is one of the few presale networks using both hardware and mobile mining at the same time. Daily Buyer Battles, a 5% referral bonus, and a leaderboard with rewards help keep things moving. The testnet airdrop gave 10,000 BDAG to each user, and $2,000 in rewards went to the top 30 users. These types of rewards help build long-term engagement. The roadmap includes features like staking, DeFi tools, and governance, giving early users more than one reason to stay involved.

Exchange Reveal Set After Final Fundraising Target

BlockDAG has already confirmed exchange listings with MEXC, LBank, Coinstore, XT.com, and BitMart. But the team is not starting listings yet. They plan to wait until the full $600 million presale goal is met. On June 13, they will share the full list of 20 exchanges that will support BDAG once the entire fundraising is complete.

This approach gives time to build more interest and liquidity before trading begins. Instead of going live early with low activity, the goal is to launch at full strength. Buyers now are stepping in before listings, while community growth continues through mining and gameplay. The testnet is already live, and the mainnet timeline is set. The listing rollout is meant to be the start of the next big phase. Also, because the price rollback ends after June 13, early buyers will still be ahead on pricing before trading starts. This plan is designed to increase attention and create demand when it counts most.

Final Notes on What’s Ahead

BlockDAG is taking time to prepare for a strong launch, not just a fast one. The $269 million raised so far shows continued interest, and the price remains fixed at $0.0020 for now. That will change after June 13, when batch pricing returns. On that day, the list of 20 upcoming exchange listings will be revealed, but actual trading begins only after the full $600 million goal is met.

With the mainnet in progress, the testnet already running, and user activity growing, BlockDAG is building one step at a time. Each part of the plan is being put in place before the big push begins. For now, there’s still time to enter before the next price increase and before more announcements bring added attention.
