TRON Gains 2.9%, DOGE Slides 57.9% — BlockDAG Hits Over $212M in Presale After Keynote 3

Crypto doesn’t move in one direction—and this quarter has proven it. Dogecoin’s dropped a steep 57.9%, losing steam as market hype fades. TRON, on the other hand, edged up by 2.9%, thanks to steady fundamentals and network activity. But neither coin delivered what BlockDAG just pulled off.
Keynote 3 flipped the switch. BlockDAG didn’t just promise; it executed—testnet live, hardware delivered, app launched. While others watched the market, BlockDAG raised $212 million during its presale and delivered a 2,380% ROI to early supporters. That’s not talk. That’s traction.

Dogecoin (DOGE): Once Hot, Now Feeling the Heat

Dogecoin (DOGE), the original meme coin, just took a massive hit. Priced at $0.3826 on January 5, 2025, it dropped to $0.1611 by April 5—a sharp 57.9% fall. That wiped out more than half its market cap, dropping it from $50 billion to $24 billion.

DOGE has always been a rollercoaster, but this dip points to something more. Retail interest cooled. Big-name endorsements faded. And 2025’s early market correction didn’t help.

Still, the community isn’t gone. Dogecoin’s fanbase remains one of the loudest and most loyal. Wallet activity is solid. Social chatter is steady. The next chapter? It depends on whether DOGE evolves into something more than nostalgia—or stays a crowd favorite hoping for another spark.

TRON (TRX): Quietly Climbing in a Choppy Market

TRON (TRX) might not be making headlines, but it’s quietly inching forward. On January 5, 2025, TRX traded at $0.2316. By April 5, it had moved up to $0.2383—a 2.9% gain. In a market where double-digit drops are common, this kind of resilience stands out.

TRON’s market cap rose from $22 billion to $22.6 billion in the same period. What’s behind the stability? High-speed transactions, a booming dApp ecosystem, and growing stablecoin activity. Plus, it’s become a budget-friendly option for smart contracts.

But to go from steady to standout, TRON may need to stretch beyond its stronghold in Asia. Strategic partnerships or revamped tokenomics could unlock the next phase. The question is whether it can keep pace as competitors ramp up Layer 2 innovations and scalability moves.

Keynote 3 Launches BlockDAG From Concept to Contender

Publishing a roadmap is easy—sticking to it and staying ahead of schedule? That’s rare. But that’s exactly what BlockDAG has done, and Keynote 3 proved it loud and clear. While most crypto projects push deadlines or quietly tone down ambitions, BlockDAG has been showing up early—and delivering big. This keynote wasn’t just another update; it was a full-blown statement of execution.

The Beta Testnet? Launched ahead of time. The X1 Miner App? Already live and in the hands of users. The X30 and X100 miners? Shipped and rolling out. While others talk about what’s coming, BlockDAG has already built it and put it in motion.

And if you want proof, just look at the numbers. The presale has pulled in $212 million so far, with batch 27 now priced at $0.0248. Over 19.1 billion coins sold. A mind-blowing 2,380% ROI for early participants. These aren’t projections—they’re on-chain proof of progress.

Keynote 3 wasn’t about hype—it was about hard facts. Working products, real users, and a project operating at full throttle. In an industry where delays are the norm, BlockDAG is proving it plays by a different rulebook. And if results are what separate the builders from the dreamers, BlockDAG is already claiming its spot on the winning side.

Why BlockDAG Looks Ready to Redefine 2025

Dogecoin’s fate still rests on community vibes. TRON is holding ground with solid fundamentals. But neither is setting new benchmarks right now. BlockDAG is. While others adjust to the market, it’s out there building—live testnet, miners in homes, app in users’ hands.

With $212 million raised and a 2,380% ROI already delivered, this isn’t a project chasing hype. It’s driving momentum. Over 19.1 billion coins sold and more than 170,000 holders say the same thing: execution wins.

BlockDAG isn’t following crypto’s typical cycle. It’s creating its own. And if Keynote 3 was the preview, the main event might just be getting started.
