Stellar XLM Eyes $0.63, Dogecoin Surges on Whale Activity, While BlockDAG’s $376M Raise & 200 ETH Giveaway Gain Momentum

August 18, 2025 By CryptoReporter

The crypto market is highlighting two familiar names, Dogecoin and Stellar, both showing strength under supportive conditions. Dogecoin has enjoyed an impressive rally, while Stellar continues its upward trend, supported by technical alignment and favorable sentiment. These moves are drawing attention, but their long-term sustainability remains uncertain.

In contrast, BlockDAG (BDAG) is building traction through a combination of cutting-edge technology and well-timed execution. While Dogecoin (DOGE) and Stellar (XLM) dominate headlines with short-term movements, BlockDAG is positioned as a stronger long-term option, backed by its presale achievements, advanced design, and an upcoming EVM-compatible testnet.

Stellar (XLM) Gains Momentum With Bullish Indicators

Stellar’s (XLM) steady climb has been supported by several bullish formations, including a reverse head-and-shoulders pattern and a bullish flag. Resistance is seen between $0.47 and $0.50, with a breakout potentially targeting $0.63. Its appeal is reinforced by its established role in cross-border payments, expanding institutional adoption, and growing payment partnerships.

Short-term fluctuations remain, but the trend of higher highs and higher lows keeps confidence strong. Exchange-held XLM has reached a record 1.03 billion tokens, valued at about $469.7 million. This build-up suggests sellers may be preparing to take profits once resistance levels are tested, a common feature before pullbacks during rallies.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Driven Higher by Whale Activity & Technical Signals

Dogecoin’s (DOGE) surge is being fueled by strong whale accumulation and the emergence of a Golden Cross, where the 50-day moving average moves above the 200-day. Historically, this signal has preceded large rallies, and sentiment now reflects patterns seen in previous bullish cycles. Retail traders have also re-engaged, drawn back by recent momentum.

DOGE’s accessibility and highly engaged community remain its main advantages. Its wide recognition and frequent media coverage add liquidity during bullish phases. Short-term targets point to $0.273, with $0.241 serving as critical support.

Still, long-term sustainability remains in question. Dogecoin’s price has often moved more on social mood than on innovation. Despite the latest rally, many long-term observers still categorize DOGE as speculative, especially when compared to projects advancing technical infrastructure and ecosystem growth.

BlockDAG’s 200 ETH Giveaway & Technical Edge Strengthen Its Presale

BlockDAG is preparing to launch an EVM-compatible testnet, allowing Ethereum-based smart contracts to function on its hybrid DAG and Proof-of-Work system. This architecture combines throughput, scalability, and network security, enabling quicker confirmations and lower transaction costs. By offering direct compatibility for Ethereum dApps, BlockDAG can tap into DeFi, NFT markets, and enterprise solutions.

Currently priced at $0.0276 in Batch 29 of its presale, BlockDAG has raised $376M and sold 25.2 billion coins. Early buyers are already looking at an ROI of 2,660%, reflecting strong adoption and confidence in the project’s delivery.

To maintain momentum, BlockDAG launched a 200 ETH giveaway, valued at about $1M, where buyers automatically enter by purchasing during the presale. The more purchased, the higher the chance of winning. Following the successful 10 BTC Auction, this campaign is designed to intensify demand, reward participants, and highlight the presale’s competitive structure.

Another driver of interest is the EVM-compatible testnet, which allows developers to migrate easily from Ethereum while benefiting from faster and cheaper transactions. This interoperability positions BlockDAG as an alternative to older, congested platforms struggling with efficiency.

Final Thoughts

Stellar (XLM) continues to advance with strong chart setups and growing utility in payments, making it appealing for those seeking functional use cases. Dogecoin (DOGE), supported by whale activity and a Golden Cross, shows strong short-term prospects, though its dependence on sentiment raises sustainability concerns.

BlockDAG, however, combines presale achievements with real technical advantages. With $376M raised, 25.2B coins sold, and 2.5M app users already engaged, it demonstrates early adoption and measurable traction. A projected ROI of 2,660% for initial buyers further highlights its potential.

While Stellar and Dogecoin offer notable trading opportunities, BlockDAG provides a utility-driven alternative, supported by advanced architecture, exchange-ready infrastructure, and an engaged community. This positions it as a forward-looking choice for those seeking consistent portfolio growth beyond short-term price swings.
