BlockDAG Presale Crosses $214M Milestone! Chainlink Rally Builds & Avalanche Tech Upgrade Launches
The crypto market is seeing renewed momentum, with some projects standing out due to substantial updates and progress. Chainlink (LINK) is showing strong activity, marked by a big rise in large transactions. Avalanche (AVAX), despite bouncing back slightly, is facing key resistance zones that could limit gains.
At the same time, BlockDAG (BDAG) is moving ahead steadily, not just with talk but with real developments. The presale has raised over $214 million, and a live Beta Testnet is already in use, placing BlockDAG among the top Layer-1 projects to watch in 2025. These three reflect different phases in the market cycle—Chainlink picking up pace, Avalanche dealing with resistance, and BlockDAG delivering meaningful progress.
Chainlink’s Surge Backed by Rising Whale Activity
Chainlink has been gaining strength steadily, and new data support its upward movement. In the past 24 hours, high-value transactions have jumped by 178%, hitting more than $166 million in volume. These movements—typically made by whales or large entities—often signal bigger market shifts ahead. This led to a 10.2% rise in LINK’s price, taking it to $11.80 and lifting confidence among holders.
This isn’t just a simple rally. It reflects growing belief in Chainlink’s importance in connecting blockchains with real-world data. With strong progress in its oracle services and wider adoption across multiple networks, Chainlink is seen more as a core utility than just a trending coin. If the pattern continues, LINK could aim to return to its 2021 peak, although that depends on whether current whale activity leads to broader market support.
Avalanche Struggles With Key Resistance Levels
Avalanche has managed to climb above $16 after a recent dip, but indicators show the path forward may not be easy. The range between $17.78 and $19.62 is crowded with over 14 million AVAX held by more than 155,000 wallets that are currently at a loss. This zone could act as a strong resistance level as users might sell to recover their holdings, limiting further price growth. Technical indicators back this view.
For example, the Chaikin Money Flow remains in negative territory, which implies selling pressure is stronger than buying interest. Even though AVAX has gained about 10%, traders seem cautious and are waiting for a more solid trend before becoming bullish again.
BlockDAG’s Huge Growth: $214M Raised, Beta Testnet Live, and Rewards Active
BlockDAG isn’t reacting to trends—it’s setting them. With $214 million already collected in its ongoing presale, the project’s rise has been driven by strong community support, with no venture capital help or celebrity marketing. So far, 19.1 billion BDAG coins have been sold, and interest remains high. What’s driving attention is the actual progress.
BlockDAG launched its Beta Testnet in March, allowing users to try out real features like creating tokens, deploying smart contracts, testing NFTs, and using dApps. The testnet includes an improved explorer, faster system response, and a no-code wizard for token and NFT deployment. It’s not just available—it’s being actively used.
BlockDAG also launched a $60,000 reward program to promote real activity. The top 10 wallets with the most transactions, highest BDAG holdings, and most active miner nodes will each get $2,000 worth of BDAG from the mainnet supply. This campaign is already running, and rewards will be distributed based on results by the end of May.
The project’s strength comes from its core tech. BlockDAG combines Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology with Proof-of-Work (PoW) to handle large-scale throughput with fast confirmation. DAG makes it possible to process blocks in parallel, while PoW secures the network.
In Keynote 3, CTO Jeremy Harkness explained: “Our hybrid system combines the reliability of PoW with the speed and flexibility of DAG.” When the mainnet launches, the network aims to support 2,000 transactions per second, targeting a scale-up to 15,000 TPS within two years. With a target of hosting over 1,000 dApps by 2026 and rising interest from larger entities, BlockDAG is shifting quickly from a new player to a serious Layer-1 project.
Final Thoughts!
Chainlink is gaining strength as large holders increase their activity and its real-world role grows. Avalanche is trying to push ahead, but resistance zones may hold it back.
Meanwhile, BlockDAG continues to move forward with solid execution. With $214 million in presale funding, a functioning testnet, and upcoming developments in DeFi, AI, and governance, BlockDAG is already delivering results many others are still talking about. As 2025 approaches, it stands out as a real contender among rising crypto platforms.
