BlockDAG Raises $420M in Record-Breaking Presale; Pi Network Faces Mainnet Delay
BlockDAG, a pioneering blockchain project, has generated buzz in the crypto world by raising over $420 million in its presale. The project has sold more than 26.5 billion coins, with the current batch 30 price set at $0.0015. Meanwhile, Pi Network, despite its impressive smartphone miner count, faces queries about its mainnet rollout and price predictions.
BlockDAG's presale has been nothing short of remarkable. It has redefined presale standards in 2025 by raising over $420 million and selling more than 26.3 billion BDAG tokens. The project is building a full-fledged Layer-1 infrastructure that promises high throughput, energy efficiency, and horizontal scalability. BlockDAG has also secured a significant partnership with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team for global blockchain branding in motorsports.
Arbitrum, another prominent blockchain project, continues to dominate the Ethereum scaling solutions landscape. Its reduced fees, faster confirmations, and growing developer activity have set new records in daily Layer-2 transactions following its September 2025 technical upgrades.
However, Pi Network's mainnet rollout delay has raised concerns. Despite surpassing tens of millions of smartphone miners without a live, open-access mainnet, questions persist about its price prediction and real utility.
BlockDAG's successful presale and promising infrastructure have positioned it as a project to watch in the blockchain space. Meanwhile, Arbitrum's dominance in Ethereum scaling solutions shows no signs of waning. However, Pi Network's mainnet rollout delay serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by projects in the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
