BlockDAG reports $2M raised in ICO
What's the deal? BlockDAG Network reports raising more than $2 million through its ongoing token sale, priced at $0.00000003 per token. The project claims a valuation of roughly $500 million.
Why now? BlockDAG says the after-sale round is nearing its scheduled conclusion, with the $2 million raised since Friday. The team plans to transition into what it calls "The Big Reset," with further details due at an upcoming Vision Keynote 6.
What's the endgame? The project is building a broad crypto ecosystem. It reports a recent BDAG AI launch — which it credits for the $500 million valuation — and says its network now runs at 7,000 transactions per second to support gaming, payments, lending, stablecoins, and future apps.
BlockDAG also reports upgraded infrastructure that handled 100,000 transactions in 24 hours, and says its casino and sportsbook component has logged more than $200 million in wagering activity. A crypto exchange, BlockDAGX.ioDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, and a planned "Super App" are also in the works.
What could go wrong? The operational and valuation figures are reported by the project and have not been independently verified. Token sales of this kind carry high risk, and the assets remain speculative and volatile.
The signal: BlockDAG's fundraising lands in a mixed market. ChainlinkDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → is holding near $8.30 in a tight range, while DogecoinDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → trades around $0.0701, down 0.43% in a day, with a Fear & Greed reading of 31 pointing to caution. Against that backdrop, presale-stage projects continue to court investors chasing early entry.
