As global policy shifts unfold, two major developments are taking center stage in the crypto space: Bitcoin's rise and BlockDAG's achievements following their latest Keynote 3.
Bitcoin Gains Amid Trade Policy
Bitcoin surged following Donald Trump’s announcement of a 25% tariff on all non-U.S.-made vehicles if elected, unsettling traditional markets but boosting interest in Bitcoin as a means of protection from political instability. Bitcoin trades over $87,000, with analysts noting increased interest in decentralized options amid renewed trade tensions and inflation concerns.
BlockDAG Achieves Success After Keynote 3
Keynote 3 presented by CEO Antony Turner and key developers announced several achievements: the launch of Beta Testnet V1 with improved explorer and smart contract tools, a global campaign rewarding active testnet users, and raising over $208 million from more than 170,000 contributors. The technical roadmap targets 15,000 TPS within 24 months.
Support for Developers and BlockDAG's Future Plans
BlockDAG also introduced developer support programs, including BlockDAG Academy, grants, hackathons, and bug bounty programs. Over 750,000 users are mining through the X1 mobile platform, with the community continuing to grow. Despite reaching the $208 million mark, the team now aims to collect $600 million in presale.
Trump's tariff proposals temporarily boosted Bitcoin's momentum, but the significant strides are being made by BlockDAG, demonstrating steady progress and resilient fundraising.
