Headlines move quickly in crypto, but traction takes time to prove. Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) are gaining short-term attention from recent price bumps, but both come with lingering questions. Dogecoin’s uptick came after ETF news, while SHIB climbed after avoiding a major support break. However, neither story is without warning signs.
In contrast, BlockDAG is delivering consistent growth—adding $10 million in just a few days and pushing its presale total to $216 million. With a price of $0.0248 in batch 27 and a 2,380% return since batch 1, it’s drawing attention for results, not just headlines.
DOGE Gains on ETF Filing but Faces Mixed Signals
Dogecoin saw a 6.9% rise, touching $0.16, following news of an ETF filing by 21Shares and a 90-day tariff delay from the U.S. government. The ETF proposal outlines a product offering exposure to DOGE performance—without derivatives or leverage—making it more accessible to traditional investors.
Despite the jump, underlying metrics paint a different picture. DOGE’s transaction count has dropped 94% since March, and large holders have moved out over 1.3 billion tokens, signaling reduced interest from longtime players.
From a technical angle, DOGE now meets resistance at its 20-day EMA of $0.16588, with the RSI at 41.93, indicating a wait-and-see stance. Analysts believe there’s a 75% chance of ETF approval, which could support another push upward, but falling on-chain engagement means momentum may need more than regulatory news to hold.
SHIB Stays Above Key Level With Room to Climb
Shiba Inu recently avoided falling below the $0.00001 support zone, which has led to renewed calls for a 42% price increase toward $0.000017. This move followed a 12% recovery linked to U.S. policy shifts, giving traders something to build on.
SHIB’s immediate challenge is breaking through the $0.0000125 to $0.00001433 resistance range. Success here could bring additional buying volume and set the stage for a larger move. While the broader market remains cautious, SHIB’s ability to rebound at key points suggests it’s still holding interest among retail buyers.
The community’s involvement has always played a major role in SHIB’s price action. And now, with the chart offering clearer zones of opportunity, attention has returned—but it still needs volume to turn projections into reality.
BlockDAG’s $10M Surge Cements Position as 2025 Presale Leader
BlockDAG continues to show strong upward momentum, adding $10 million to its raise in just a few days. This brings the total to $216 million, a figure that few presale projects reach. More than 19.3 billion tokens have now been sold, with the latest batch priced at $0.0248—an increase that reflects a 2,380% ROI since the initial release.
Analyst Leo Martinez recently pointed to BlockDAG’s potential, noting its valuation growth is exceeding typical early-stage projects. With a beta testnet already live and a plan to support over 1,000 decentralized applications by 2026, he believes the current value is still underpriced compared to where things could head next.
The project has also topped multiple trend lists across social channels and market tracking platforms, showing that interest extends beyond developers and into the broader retail community. What many traders find appealing is the combination of user-first design, technical capability, and ongoing delivery—elements that set it apart during a period where many tokens still rely on ideas over output.
Looking at the current structure, analysts say there’s still potential for another 3x to 5x return during the presale period. As more milestones roll out and listing conversations grow, BlockDAG is expected to remain on the radar for traders looking for early entries with growth potential.
Looking Ahead: Which Projects Are Gaining More Than Buzz?
Dogecoin’s ETF proposal has opened a new door for institutional access, but without renewed activity on-chain, long-term traction remains unclear. Shiba Inu has proved it can hold ground under pressure, but still needs volume and breakout strength to maintain momentum.
BlockDAG, however, is steadily building a case through consistent performance. From its beta rollout to a structured presale with real traction, it’s attracting attention for the right reasons. With over $216 million raised, more than 19.3 billion coins sold, and batch prices continuing to climb, it’s quickly becoming one of the more actively followed early-stage projects of the year.
