BlockDAG Presale Surges Past $250M—Whales Rush In Before Exchange Launch
BlockDAG Continues Its Presale Streak, Clocks $250M+ Before Exchange Debut
BlockDAG ($BDAG) has crossed a new threshold in its aggressive presale campaign, surpassing $250 million in total funds raised as of mid-May 2025. The project, known for its developer-first ethos and high-speed Layer-1 architecture, has seen sustained traction across both retail communities and crypto whales.
The BDAG token is now approaching its final presale phase at $0.0248, with confirmed plans to launch across ten Tier-1 centralized exchanges between late June and early August 2025. Whale interest continues to swell as insiders expect BDAG’s price to hit anywhere from $0.25 to $1 within months of launch—contingent on macro trends and platform onboarding.
BlockDAG’s roadmap includes:
- A community-owned node structure
- Smart contract deployment from Day 1
- Integration with Web3 developer toolkits
While BlockDAG’s presale performance is undeniable, another name has started to eclipse it in both narrative momentum and utility promise.
Solaxy ($SOLX) Emerges with $36M Raise—Solana’s First Layer-2 Is Gaining Real Steam
If BlockDAG is this year’s Layer-1 headline, Solaxy ($SOLX) is quietly stealing the Layer-2 spotlight.
As of May 16, 2025, Solaxy’s presale has surged past $36.4 million, locking in funding from over 28,000 wallets, with a next price increase scheduled in under 24 hours. The platform brands itself as Solana’s first true Layer-2—targeting speed bottlenecks and congestion issues by enabling bundled off-chain processing and finality enhancements.
According to the project’s whitepaper and recent developer updates, Solaxy will:
- Serve as an off-chain computation layer for Solana dApps
- Enable scalable DeFi operations, token bridges, and NFT minting tools
- Reduce validator pressure and cost-per-transaction without compromising Solana’s base integrity
Presale momentum was initially fueled by $1M raised in 48 hours. But its real breakthrough came after daily presale inflows hit $600K+, pushing Solaxy to surpass many Layer-2 expectations across the Solana ecosystem.
Tier-1 Listings Confirmed
Solaxy has now confirmed listings across three major centralized exchanges, with a targeted launch window between June 12 and June 18. Analysts predict the post-launch price could see a 4x to 8x range, depending on Solana ecosystem alignment and on-chain adoption rates.
Why Solaxy Could Outrun Its Layer-1 Counterparts
Solaxy is not trying to compete with Solana—it’s trying to unlock its full throughput. With built-in EVM compatibility, zk-optimized modules, and low-gas liquidity mechanics, $SOLX is already drawing comparisons to Arbitrum’s early days on Ethereum.
More importantly, it’s tapping into a Layer-2 narrative that still hasn’t taken hold in the Solana ecosystem. If Solaxy executes its roadmap, it could become the go-to throughput optimizer for a rapidly growing Solana DeFi and gaming sector.
Final Thoughts
BlockDAG’s surge past $250M cements its reputation as one of 2025’s biggest presale juggernauts. But Solaxy is now closing in with $36M raised, faster transaction promises, and multiple Tier-1 listings on deck.
For investors looking beyond just token appreciation—and into infrastructure-layer adoption—Solaxy’s breakout Layer-2 strategy may offer the clearest growth runway on Solana this year.
