The cryptocurrency market continues to grab headlines with significant developments. Ethereum Classic (ETC) has crossed the $25 mark, while Cardano’s founder predicts a potential bull market ahead. Additionally, BlockDAG is showing success in its presale.
Ethereum Classic Breaks the $25 Barrier
Ethereum Classic (ETC) has demonstrated a bullish trend, exceeding $25 for the first time in months. In one session, the price surged over 24% from $20.53 to $25.52. This confirms the strength of the upward trend as the $24 level has become support. Analysts point out that if Ethereum maintains this upward trajectory, ETC could hold above this support and build on its gains.
Key market indicators have shown positive sentiment, with open interest rising 23% in the last 24 hours, while funding rates remain positive.
Cardano's Bold Forecast for a Bull Run
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has brought renewed energy to the market with his forecast of a 'massive bull rally,' anticipating that a combination of Federal Reserve rate cuts and the passing of the CLARITY Act could foster stronger adoption in the crypto sector.
He humorously remarked that if Cardano surpasses Ethereum in market capitalization, Ethereum's creator Vitalik Buterin might seek 'anti-aging technologies' to cope with the shock.
BlockDAG Presale Surges Past $385M
While Ethereum Classic and Cardano are making waves, BlockDAG's presale has pulled in over $385 million, marking one of the most successful fundraising campaigns of 2025. Priced at $0.03, with a target launch price of $0.05, BlockDAG presents a clear and measurable growth trajectory ahead of its exchange debut.
Key strengths include the presale mechanics, robust security, and a unique feature called 'Buyer Battles,' incentivizing larger contributions and daily engagement.
The breakout of Ethereum Classic past $25 and Cardano’s bullish forecast highlight the positive energy in the market. However, BlockDAG distinguishes itself with its presale success and comprehensive strategy, showing potential for long-term growth.
