A shift in the crypto landscape is shaping investor sentiment, with three projects – Bitcoin Hyper, Pepenode, and BlockDAG – emerging as frontrunners. Institutional buying of Bitcoin continues to drive volume surges and increased long-term holdings. Pepenode stands out by offering a unique combination of play-to-earn mechanics and deflationary tokenomics, attracting both meme enthusiasts and serious investors. Yet, the real impact lies with BlockDAG. Its 3.5 million miners create an unprecedented demand surge that is further fueled by its limited supply (4.6 billion coins). The project’s presale has already raised $435 million, positioning it as a clear frontrunner in the 2025 presale market.
