BlockDAG’s Beta Testnet Offers $2K in BDAG— DOGE Whale Shifts $1.8M, XLM Aims for $10

Blockchain continues to reshape digital finance. Dogecoin and Stellar (XLM) are attracting attention with ambitious expansion plans and price projections. The Dogecoin Foundation has established a $1.8 million reserve to bolster liquidity, while Stellar's price is predicted to reach $10 per coin by 2025.

In contrast, BlockDAG (BDAG) is engaging users directly through a gamified approach, rewarding active participation with actual BDAG coins. Instead of relying solely on future predictions or liquidity initiatives, BlockDAG fosters interest through hands-on involvement and consistent user engagement.

Dogecoin Foundation Establishes $1.8 Million Official Reserve

House of Doge, the commercial arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, has launched the Official Dogecoin Reserve by acquiring 10 million DOGE, valued at approximately $1.8 million. This aims to improve transaction speeds and liquidity, promoting DOGE's adoption as a widely accepted payment method.

A key component of this initiative is a rewards program offering merchants cashback and discounts for accepting DOGE. By collaborating with payment platforms and businesses, the foundation seeks to make Dogecoin a convenient and practical option for everyday purchases, potentially driving mainstream adoption.

Stellar (XLM) Price Prediction: Reaching $10 by 2025?

Crypto analyst Lee the Captain suggests three potential price targets for Stellar (XLM) by 2025. A conservative forecast predicts $5, citing Stellar's strong fundamentals and its role in the $2 trillion payments industry and the projected $5 trillion finance market by 2028.

A more optimistic estimate places XLM at $7.50, assuming a market capitalization increase to $230 billion, based on capturing a significant market share. This is benchmarked against Ethereum's $550 billion market cap in 2021.

The most bullish prediction is $10 per XLM, contingent on increased global cryptocurrency adoption (from 300 million users in 2021 to over 600 million) and positive market shifts such as the approval of Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs. Lee notes that altcoins often peak around 18 months after a Bitcoin halving, suggesting a potential high point for Stellar in October 2025 following the April 2024 halving.

BlockDAG Beta Testnet Offers Real BDAG Rewards for Mining, Wallet Activity, and Holdings

BlockDAG is transforming blockchain activity into a game, rewarding users with real BDAG coins for active participation. The "Primordial" Beta Testnet allows users to compete based on wallet usage, mining power, and holdings. The top 10 participants in each category will receive $2,000 worth of BDAG coins at a fixed price of $0.05. This event runs from March 28th to May 31st.

This reward system is underpinned by a successful cryptocurrency presale. BlockDAG has already raised $209.5 million and sold over 19 billion BDAG coins. Currently in Batch 27, the coin is priced at $0.0248—a 2,380% increase since Batch 1. This financial backing strengthens BlockDAG's participation-based model and demonstrates significant community interest.

Furthermore, users who previously purchased BDAG through the backend system will automatically receive 10,000 testnet coins via an airdrop, vested over three weeks (40% immediately, followed by 20% weekly). No manual action is required.

By combining usability with a competitive element, BlockDAG creates a more engaging and rewarding ecosystem. All activities—mining, holding, or transacting—contribute to earning real BDAG rewards.

How BlockDAG's Reward Approach Differs from Dogecoin and Stellar

Dogecoin's focus on liquidity enhancement through its new reserve and Stellar's long-term price targets based on market growth represent distinct strategies. BlockDAG, however, takes a different approach—prioritizing real-time participation and rewards.

By offering tangible coin rewards for active participation, BlockDAG cultivates ongoing user interaction and utility from the outset. This strategy appeals to both blockchain developers and general users by emphasizing usage, not just future potential. It fosters an active system driven by consistent engagement, rather than relying on future market fluctuations.
