This week, investors' attention is focused on Ethereum and Polkadot, with new predictions and blockchain developments.
Predictions for Polkadot
Polkadot is trading around $3.90 after a recent drop and is trying to stabilize. Analysts expect a short-term rebound if DOT clears resistance at $4.67. If successful, the forecast sees a move toward $5.50-$6.50 in the coming weeks. However, downside risks are also clear: if DOT fails to hold the $3.93 pivot, the next stop could be $3.24, which would bring it close to its yearly low.
Predictions for Ethereum
Ethereum is now trading close to $4,700, its strongest level in more than two years. Standard Chartered recently set a price target of $7,500 by the end of 2025, while long-term outlooks go as far as $25,000 by 2028. One major driver is institutional demand: spot ETFs and treasury purchases have absorbed almost 4% of the circulating ETH since June. However, analysts warn that ETH must hold support near $4,631 to avoid falling back toward $4,000.
BlockDAG Project and Its Achievements
The BlockDAG project demonstrates positive results, raising $380 million in presales and selling over 19,350 X-Series miners. The X-Series bounty generates over $7.8 million in revenue and includes the X1 mobile app, used by 2.5 million users. The launch of BlockDAG Academy adds an educational component, offering users the ability to take courses and earn certificates. These accomplishments highlight real progress before the project's official launch.
Despite high expectations, price predictions for Ethereum and Polkadot remain under pressure from technical levels and external conditions. In contrast, the successful advancement of BlockDAG in the market suggests a significant contrast with analytical forecasts, demonstrating real adaptation and growth even before its official launch.
