BlockDAG Eyes $1.31, Dogecoin Builds to $0.40, But the Hybrid Tech May Outrun Them All

As the crypto market pushes forward into 2025, several well-known coins are regaining attention.

As the crypto market continues to heat up, several well-known coins are coming into focus once again. Among them, Cardano (ADA) is forming a bullish technical setup that could carry it to $1.31 by August 2025, offering a potential 78% return.

On the other hand, Dogecoin (DOGE) is nearing a potential breakout as it completes a long-term cup formation, which could propel it toward $0.40. Both coins show signs of strength and recovery, but their progress remains dependent on external sentiment, chart patterns, and community momentum.

However, one project is already demonstrating a different kind of traction—one based on infrastructure, real-world activity, and technical breakthroughs. Following its Keynote 3 reveal, BlockDAG unveiled a hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work system that solves the industry’s core bottleneck: scalability. It’s also integrating vast communities, a beta testnet, and a unique economic model for long-term sustainability.

Cardano Could Hit $1.31 by August 2025 as 50-Day SMA Set to Cross 200-Day SMA

Cardano’s price outlook is coming into sharper focus. As analyzed by Benzinga earlier, if Cardano maintains its current upward trajectory, it could reach $1.31 by August 2025.

This projection factors in the development of a “golden cross” pattern, where the 50-day SMA moves above the 200-day SMA, a classic technical indicator signaling potential continuation of the prevailing trend.

However, the outlook isn’t without cautions. The Fear & Greed Index remains relatively low, at 40/100, which suggests that there’s still some fear in the market.

Moreover, if sentiment weakens significantly, projections suggest that Cardano could slip below $0.45 by mid-2026.

Those evaluating near-term opportunities can identify the July to October 2025 stretch as offering the most potential. A $1,000 position today might return $1,789 if forecasts hold.

Dogecoin May Be Finalizing 4-Year Cup Pattern, Setting Stage for Soaring Toward $0.4

Dogecoin is approaching a pivotal stage in its long-term structure. A recent analysis from TradingView suggests that DOGE may still be finalizing a four-year cup pattern that began after the 2021 peak—deviating from earlier outlooks that saw a breakout already occurring.

This pattern, if completed, could clear the way for a substantial rally, potentially carrying DOGE to $0.4, especially if volume increases and market sentiment aligns.

Currently trading at around $0.1967, DOGE recently tested the $0.20 mark, and sustaining this level could be crucial for the next stage of the pattern. A successful breakout from the pattern might set the stage for a move toward $0.4, offering a potential gain of over 100%.

For those interested in longer-term setups, this structure offers potential value, especially if it draws in new investors and traders.

BlockDAG's Keynote 3 Presents Hybrid Tech That May Outperform Traditional Blockchains

While many crypto projects are still iterating or optimizing legacy systems, BlockDAG is introducing an entirely new approach—and it’s already operational. In Keynote 3, the team unveiled a hybrid architecture that fuses Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) with Proof-of-Work (PoW), creating a massively scalable, secure, and high-speed platform designed for long-term growth.

Traditional blockchains process transactions linearly—one block at a time, which limits throughput and increases fees. BlockDAG, on the other hand, processes multiple blocks in parallel, drastically increasing transaction throughput while reducing fees. The beta testnet, which is already being used by developers and community members, is capable of processing over 1.2 million transactions and supports 100+ active nodes. At mainnet, it’s expected to reach up to 15,000 transactions per second.

Crucially, BlockDAG retains PoW for data integrity, combining the decentralization benefits of mining with the speed advantages of DAG. Supported by MPC (multi-party computation) security, the GhostDAG protocol, and third-party audits, the platform delivers both performance and reliability.

The traction goes far beyond technical claims. More than 800,000 users are mining BDAG through the X1 app, and over 100,000 participate daily in the Tap Miner game for new users to earn their first BDAG. Developers are already building on the ecosystem using no-code tools like the Token and NFT Wizard, live testnet features, and pre-launch smart contract support.
