BlockDAG Gears Up for Testnet Launch on Sep 20: Presale Hits $72.5M While Aave’s EtherFi Market Debuts & Optimism Price Moves

September 13, 2024 By CryptoReporter

Not all coins are cut from the same cloth. While Optimism (OP) hints at potential growth and Aave makes waves with its new EtherFi market, another name is capturing attention—BlockDAG. Rising swiftly in the crowded crypto space, BlockDAG is becoming a go-to choice for enthusiasts.

Demand for BDAG coins is surging, driving the presale to an impressive $72.5 million. This is fueled by the excitement surrounding the testnet launch on September 20. This upcoming launch offers a playground for users to test smart contracts, stake tokens, mint BDAG coins, and create NFTs. The excitement is building, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Aave’s New Move: The EtherFi Market

AAVE crypto news reports that Aave DAO has launched the EtherFi market on its v3 protocol. This new market supports the rising demand for stablecoin borrowing with weETH as collateral. It aims to make borrowing easier and keep the main Aave market running smoothly.

More AAVE crypto news includes comments from EtherFi’s CEO, Mike Silagadze, who sees this market as a big step forward for borrowing against EtherFi assets. With this move, Aave continues to strengthen its place in the world of decentralised finance.

Optimism (OP) Price Prediction: What’s Next?

Recent Optimism trends show a falling channel pattern, with the price near $1.364. If a double-bottom forms, the price could rise to $1.639 or even $2. But if bearish trends continue, it might drop to the $1.165 support level.

Looking ahead, the Optimism (OP) price prediction for 2025 suggests a potential rise to $11.21. However, a strong bearish run could see it end at around $4.63. The focus on sustainable growth could support steady price performance in the future.

BlockDAG Testnet Goes Live on 20 Sep

BlockDAG has always been ahead of the game, and there’s a real buzz as they gear up for their next big move. On September 20, 2024, they’re rolling out the BlockDAG Testnet and Blockchain Explorer. The Testnet is turning heads, especially among developers who are eager to try out smart contracts and see their transactions happen live. It’s got a really user-friendly blockchain explorer and a feature that lets users mint their own BDAG coins.

But it’s more than just for show—it gives everyone a real peek at what BlockDAG’s blockchain can do. They’ve even made it compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), so users can test EVM-based apps right away. Plus, they can keep an eye on transactions, dig into block details, or even try their hand at staking tokens and creating NFTs.

As the launch day gets closer, the demand for BDAG coins has shot up, and the community is all in. This excitement has driven the presale to an impressive $72.5 million, reflecting growing confidence in BlockDAG. This isn’t just a testnet launch; it’s a sneak peek into the future of blockchain, and BlockDAG is inviting everyone to explore what’s possible.

Closing Note

Optimism (OP) is making strides with its vision of faster and cheaper Ethereum transactions, while Aave continues to innovate in the DeFi space with its new EtherFi market. Yet, BlockDAG is emerging as the leading player.

The upcoming testnet launch on September 20 offers developers a chance to explore smart contracts, mint BDAG coins, and create NFTs, capturing attention across the crypto space. With presale numbers already reaching $72.5 million, this layer 1 blockchain is a must-watch.
