Upstart blockchain project, BlockDAG, raises $60 million in pre-sale, pushing blockchain innovation boundaries with UFC champion Alex Pereira; Polygon and Ethereum appearing to lose ground.
BlockDAG, the innovative blockchain platform, has recently formed a strategic alliance with UFC champion Alex Pereira. This partnership, part of a broader multi-sport sponsorship strategy, aims to boost BlockDAG's credibility, global reach, and adoption in the crypto market throughout 2025 [1][2][3].
The partnership aligns the respective goals and ambitions of both parties, blending sportsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Associating with high-profile athletes like Pereira aligns BlockDAG with values of excellence, tradition, and community trust, which are vital for mainstream crypto adoption [1][2].
This alliance is expected to significantly contribute to BlockDAG's positioning as a credible, widely recognized crypto project. The partnership helps BlockDAG tap into the digital-savvy, global UFC fanbase, complementing its reach in football and other sports markets to build widespread awareness [2][5].
The partnership also positions BlockDAG as one of the promising crypto projects of 2025. Supported by these partnerships and successful token presales raising over $376 million with reported early investor returns of 2,660%, BlockDAG is poised for strong market performance [1][4][5].
Beyond sponsorship, the alliance is part of initiatives exploring NFT ticketing, fan tokens, and novel blockchain-based fan engagement experiences, leveraging Pereira's sports persona and fan following [3].
BlockDAG's hybrid DAG-PoW blockchain architecture, combined with the marketing reach of such partnerships, aims to create a robust active network post-mainnet launch planned for 2025 [4].
In addition to its strategic partnership, BlockDAG boasts several technical advantages. It achieves 10 blocks per second and aims for 100+, setting it apart in speed and efficiency [6]. BlockDAG's layer 1 technology provides access to smart contracts, secure mining, and optimized performance [7].
Moreover, BlockDAG has raised an impressive $60 million during its presale, reflecting a 1400% increase from its initial price [8]. The current valuation of BlockDAG is $0.015, and the predicted launch price is $0.05 [9]. BlockDAG also boasts the fastest transaction processing speed among its peers [10].
Meanwhile, in the wider crypto market, Ethereum's daily trading volume has risen by 7.6% to $19.8 billion. However, the Ethereum supply on exchanges has reached a 34-month high, with $19.52 million ETH now available [11]. The Ethereum Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 60 points to slightly overbought conditions [12].
Elsewhere, Polygon (MATIC) has experienced significant whale activity, with large holders selling millions of MATIC tokens, causing price volatility. MATIC options worth $751.80 million will soon expire, with a put-call ratio of 0.76 and a max pain price of $0.51, just below the current price of $0.516 [13]. Whale transactions have dropped by 12%, indicating that smaller deposits drive the increase [14].
In conclusion, the partnership between BlockDAG and Alex Pereira, along with its technical advantages, positions BlockDAG as a promising player in the crypto market. The partnership is expected to drive substantial adoption and influence in the crypto market later this year [1][2][3][4][5].
