Ethereum Breaks $4,500 Barrier Amidst Market Volatility, BlockDAG Surges Past Presale Milestone

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a shift in sentiment, separating projects with strong fundamentals from those driven by hype. Bittensor’s (TAO) price drop of more than 15% reflects the broader market volatility, while Arbitrum (ARB) has seen a 25% decline this week. Despite these declines, BlockDAG is defying the trend, raising over $430 million in its presale and positioning itself as a top-trending crypto for 2025.
