BlockDAG presale nears end with 3.4B coins left as ZCash and XRP revisit prior highs
BlockDAG’s final presale phase is closing ahead of a January 26 deadline with only 3.4 billion coins remaining. The project has raised over $442 million, claims more than 312,000 participants, 3.4 million active users on its X1 app, and over 21,000 mining units distributed. Current presale pricing is $0.003 (Batch 34); analysts model a potential public trading open between $0.38 and $0.43, while the official launch price is listed at $0.05. Meanwhile, established assets are moving: ZCash (ZEC) recorded a near-24% weekly gain and is pushing toward a historical resistance near $616 with rising volume; XRP is holding above $2, with the percentage of holders in profit at a 13-month low, implying reduced near-term selling pressure. Traders face a choice between following legacy coins retesting prior highs (ZEC, XRP) or speculating on BlockDAG’s limited-time presale window.

Bullish
The item is overall bullish for short-term market interest. BlockDAG’s limited presale supply (3.4B left), large reported fundraising (> $442M), strong participant numbers, and analyst-projected open range ($0.38–$0.43) all create a scarcity-and-demand narrative that can drive speculative inflows at launch. Presale hard deadlines historically increase retail FOMO and may attract market makers providing initial liquidity, often resulting in a strong opening price versus presale levels. For ZEC and XRP, rising volume and a reduced share of holders in unrealized profit reduce immediate selling pressure and support further upside as these assets revisit prior resistance zones. However, risks remain: BlockDAG’s projections are promotional and subject to execution, and sudden profit-taking or market-wide volatility could reverse gains. In past cycles, new token launches with aggressive marketing and constrained supply (e.g., early presales that listed with large gaps to public prices) have produced sharp initial rallies followed by high volatility. Therefore, expect elevated short-term volatility and speculative flows (bullish), while long-term sustainability depends on on-chain activity, tokenomics, and broader market conditions (neutral to uncertain). Traders should size positions, set tight risk controls, and watch liquidity and order-book depth at launch.
