This week’s cryptocurrency market saw a surge of activity around three key storylines: NEAR Protocol’s push towards the $3 mark, TRUMP Coin’s ETF talks and BlockDAG’s record-breaking presale. NEAR, with rising user activity and capital inflows, climbed toward $3 on the back of institutional support and expanded DeFi applications. TRUMP Coin jumped as news emerged that Canary Capital had established a trust in Delaware, laying groundwork for an ETF in the United States. However, BlockDAG continues to lead the pack. With over $379 million raised during its presale, it has connected 2.5 million mobile miners through its Proof-of-Engagement framework. This feat has positioned it as a significant player in today’s market. Its success is further driven by features such as Dashboard V4, which offers real-time trading simulations and Buyer Battles that transform daily buying into a competitive game, while the presale feels more like a functioning network than an anticipated waiting game. Built on interaction and infrastructure rather than speculation, BlockDAG has carved out its own space in the crowded market landscape.
