The race for the market’s most popular crypto is heating up. Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) both carry bullish setups but face hurdles that keep momentum uncertain. Solana trades above $200, boosted by the Alpenglow upgrade and ETF expectations, yet whale movements continue to spark volatility. Avalanche is holding ground near key support while ETF filings hint at inflows, but resistance zones keep its price action contained.
Amid these developments, BlockDAG (BDAG) is emerging as the clear mover. With $403 million raised in presale, Batch 30 pricing fixed at $0.0013, and a confirmed launch value of $0.05, BDAG is showcasing progress few can match.
The project has started shipping miners; over 19600 miners are being shipped, locked in its Deployment Event in Singapore, and continues to grow through its referral rewards system. While Solana and Avalanche are testing the market’s patience, BlockDAG is showing results that make it stand out as the crypto with the most potential heading into 2025.
Solana Looks To Alpenglow And ETF Push
Solana (SOL) is staying above the $200 line even as profit-taking puts pressure on near-term momentum. Its bullish case into Q4 rests on three drivers: the Alpenglow upgrade, possible ETF approvals, and heavy whale accumulation. Alpenglow, already supported by 99.6% of validators, would cut transaction finality to just 150 milliseconds, faster than a Google search. For context, Ethereum finality still takes more than 12 seconds, putting Solana in the lead for high-performance usage.
ETF expectations also strengthen its case. With Grayscale, VanEck, and Fidelity applying for Solana ETFs, Bloomberg analysts see a 95% chance of approval. If confirmed, the move could channel institutional flows into SOL, echoing the rallies seen in BTC and ETH.
Still, volatility lingers, with whales buying $381M during dips but small $17M sell-offs cutting 5% from the price. Short-term targets sit at $220, with $250–$300 mid-term and a possible $500 target for 2025 if momentum stays bullish.
Avalanche Tests Resistance As ETF Interest Builds
Avalanche (AVAX) continues to trade within a bullish symmetrical triangle, holding steady at support levels despite market pressure. Analysts note that clearing resistance at $24.8 is key, with several past pullbacks showing its importance.
Indicators support optimism. The Parabolic SAR shows early rally markers under price action, while RSI at 52.3 suggests upside potential without overbought pressure. Off-chain signals also add strength: TVL climbed 1.8% to $1.9 billion, and decentralised exchange volume rose $67 million to $290 million over three days, signalling increased participation.
ETF demand is growing as well. After VanEck’s attempt, Grayscale filed for an AVAX ETF, showing rising appeal from major institutions. Approval could replicate ETF-driven rallies seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum. For now, AVAX holds a bullish posture but needs to break through resistance to confirm the next leg higher.
BlockDAG Deployment Event And Miner Rollout Capture Global Buzz
Solana and Avalanche continue to show upside potential, but BlockDAG (BDAG) is stepping into focus as the crypto with the strongest adoption story. Its presale has raised $403 million, ranking it among the top fundraising efforts of 2025. Now in Batch 30 at $0.0013 with a confirmed launch price of $0.05, BDAG provides early buyers with a clear growth path.
A major highlight is the delivery of 19,600 miners to users worldwide, signalling both readiness and adoption. With miners already active across 130+ countries, BlockDAG has built global traction before its official debut.
The upcoming Deployment Event in Singapore, organised with Coinstore, marks the shift from presale momentum to live execution. This milestone will showcase BlockDAG’s readiness and reinforce its role as a project delivering at scale.
BlockDAG’s referral program is fueling expansion by rewarding participants with strong bonuses. This gamified system, together with Buyer Battles that give unsold coins to top contributors, has created an engaged community with a focus on activity and adoption.
These features, combined with visible execution, explain why BlockDAG is being seen as a rising force. Unlike Solana and Avalanche, which depend on upcoming upgrades or ETF approvals, BlockDAG is rolling out infrastructure and growing its user base now.
Closing Insights
Solana and Avalanche remain competitive. Solana’s bullish case gains strength from the Alpenglow upgrade and ETF momentum, while Avalanche shows potential with its triangle setup, rising TVL, and new ETF filings. Still, both face challenges in maintaining consistent strength.
BlockDAG stands apart with achievements already delivered. With $403 million raised, a presale price of $0.0013 in Batch 30, and a launch at $0.05, its position is clear. Its 19,600 miners are being shipped, its Singapore Deployment Event, and adoption across 130+ countries prove growth is not just planned but active.
Supported by a referral program and gamified Buyer Battles, BlockDAG is expanding visibility and adoption worldwide. While Solana and Avalanche work to solidify momentum, BlockDAG is showing why it is being recognised as the most popular crypto with real use in 2025.
