Dogecoin Targets $1 as Sentiment Rises, BlockDAG Confirms 20 Listings, Solana Builds DeFi Strength

May 18, 2025 By CryptoReporter

Crypto markets are heating up with three major names drawing different kinds of attention. Dogecoin is getting closer to the $1 mark as market interest grows. Solana is pulling developers and users with fast growth in the DeFi space. Meanwhile, BlockDAG (BDAG) is making headlines with a $254.5 million raise and plans to reveal 20 centralized exchange listings on June 13.

Each project is advancing with a different strength. Dogecoin’s price chart looks promising, Solana is being used more for real apps, and BlockDAG is rolling out infrastructure with clear steps. What stands out most is BlockDAG’s steady approach. It’s offering a rare fixed-price entry, real exchange listings, and a schedule that’s already in motion.

This moment in crypto isn’t about who might grow someday. It’s about who’s actually delivering. As June nears, more people are paying attention to what’s real, not just what’s trending.

Dogecoin Builds Strength, Analysts Predict $1 Soon

Dogecoin is moving again after months of slow price action. Open interest has jumped on major derivatives exchanges, showing that big traders are entering the market. Some of this activity is backed by large wallet holders who are buying more DOGE. Others are closing out shorts, which is helping lift prices.

DOGE is now trading around $0.17 to $0.22. Analysts expect it to reach $1 by the third quarter of 2025 if current trends continue. The price movement looks stronger than before, and market watchers say DOGE’s history of comebacks could play out again.

Even though it started as a joke coin, Dogecoin keeps bouncing back. Part of that is due to its loyal user base, which stays active no matter the market cycle. With rising activity and a steady price range, DOGE is now one of the crypto top gainers to watch. Many are betting that the meme coin could see another strong rally this year, depending on how the broader market behaves.

Solana Strengthens Position Through DeFi and NFTs

Solana is showing it’s more than a fast blockchain. It’s becoming a strong base for new apps in DeFi and NFTs. CoinTribune recently shared that more users are joining Solana’s top DeFi apps. This rise is tied to better user experience and more use cases for the platform’s native coin.

Total Value Locked (TVL) in Solana’s DeFi tools is growing, and this shows real capital is being used on the chain. At the same time, Solana is also gaining ground in NFT markets and crypto gaming. This proves that Solana isn’t just good at one thing, it’s supporting several sectors at once.

The current SOL price holds above $180, but price isn’t the only highlight. Developers are building fast, and Solana’s speed and low cost make it a preferred choice. If things continue this way, SOL could soon be competing with Ethereum in more areas. As more users enter the space, Solana may remain among the crypto top gainers this year.

BlockDAG Secures 20 Listings, Hits $254.5M, and Locks in $0.0020 Entry

BlockDAG is taking a different path by focusing on confirmed steps, not promises. It has raised over $254.5 million and locked in a $0.0020 price until June 13. At that point, it will announce all 20 exchanges ready to list BDAG after the presale ends.

So far, five exchanges are confirmed: MEXC, BitMart, CoinStore, LBank, and XT.com. These platforms serve users across Asia, North America, and Europe. The other 15 names will be announced at the June 13 “Go Live” event. This plan is clear, direct, and already in action.

June 13 is not a launch day. Trading will begin only after the $600 million presale cap is met. The Go Live Reveal simply shows that the groundwork is done. It also gives early buyers clarity on what’s coming next.

More than 20.6 billion BDAG coins have already been sold. Miner sales have crossed $7 million, and 17,568 mining devices have been purchased. To boost user action, BlockDAG runs a daily Buyer Battles contest. The daily reward pool is now 150 million BDAG. The top buyer of the day wins any unsold coins. This keeps demand strong and adds a fun challenge to each presale day.

With Batch 28 priced at $0.0262, early buyers are already looking at a 2,520% gain since Batch 1. The listing price is set at $0.05, making BlockDAG a top contender among crypto top gainers this cycle.

Why These 3 Coins Are Standing Out

Dogecoin, Solana, and BlockDAG are all on different tracks, but each is pushing forward with purpose. DOGE is gaining strength through price action and community support. Solana is being used more as developers build on its network. And BlockDAG is delivering key milestones with a clear schedule.

The $254.5 million raise, $0.0020 price freeze, and 20 upcoming listings make BlockDAG stand out. With so many projects making big claims, this one is quietly delivering steps that can be verified. In today’s market, that makes all the difference.
