This week, three well-known crypto names are making major moves, each in their own way. Ethereum (ETH) is back in the spotlight with a strong market breakout that’s changed the tone around altcoins. The rally cut through key resistance levels in less than two days, setting up new expectations. Solana (SOL) is also back on the radar with its $200 goal looking more possible after a powerful move past $170, driven by fresh volume and market support.
But the biggest build might be happening behind the scenes. BlockDAG has cleared its CertiK audit and passed the $247 million mark in its ongoing presale. While ETH and SOL are trading, BlockDAG (BDAG) is quietly building toward a strong debut as a next-gen layer 1 network.
Ethereum Market Push Brings Altcoins Back in Focus
Ethereum (ETH) is back on traders’ radars after a sharp rally that caught many off guard. In just 48 hours, ETH surged nearly 37%, jumping from around $1,800 to above $2,500 before meeting resistance. This fast move surprised many long-time holders who had seen ETH lag earlier in the year.
While some cooling is expected based on the Stochastic RSI, this price jump has brought fresh attention to altcoins. Analysts believe if ETH holds above $2,500, it may push toward its all-time high near $4,800. For now, ETH is likely to settle between $2,150 and $2,500, as buyers wait for the next clear signal. This momentum has stirred optimism, showing that layer 1s like Ethereum are still setting the tone for the wider market direction in 2025.
Solana’s $200 Milestone Gains Momentum
Solana (SOL) is back in focus after its price jumped to $170, marking its highest point since early March. This sharp climb has given new strength to talks around its $200 short-term target. The network’s trading volume recently rose above $4.5 billion, and SOL’s strong technical pattern, known as a fakeout reversal, is fueling more bullish predictions.
Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC, shared that if SOL keeps above current levels, reaching $200 is well within range. DeFi activity on the Solana network has also passed $800 billion in 2025, showing deepening usage and interest. If SOL maintains its footing above $170 in the coming sessions, analysts expect the next leg up could begin soon. With network strength and rising volume, Solana is clearly on the radar again for short-term traders and layer 1 watchers.
BlockDAG Hits $247M After CertiK Audit, Sets Stage for Major Layer 1 Launch
BlockDAG (BDAG) has reached a major turning point by passing a full CertiK audit, showing its focus on secure architecture. The review covered everything, from consensus mechanics to the Fortify multisig layer, and came back without red flags. This builds trust for high-scale apps that depend on solid and secure infrastructure. It puts BlockDAG in the same conversation as other respected layer 1 networks.
The results are showing. The presale has now raised over $247 million, placing BDAG in Batch 28. Over 20.2 billion coins have been sold so far. The current price is $0.0020, and it’s frozen until June 13th. Early buyers have seen up to 2520% ROI, but even now, the upside remains strong as the launch price is expected to rise. BlockDAG’s growing adoption is backed by real numbers, $7 million in miner sales and more than 17,000 miners already sold.
Beyond fundraising, the project is also preparing to list on 20 exchanges. The first five have been confirmed: MEXC, LBANK, CoinStore, XT.com, and BitMart. However, it’s clear the team is focused more on building a solid network than rushing listings. That’s why the audit, growing global community, and clear roadmap matter so much.
If BlockDAG keeps up this pace, it’s set to become one of the biggest layer 1 launches this year. With security, traction, and scale in place, the focus is now on the countdown to launch, and batches are moving fast.
Final Thoughts
Ethereum’s sharp rise is leading the way again, and how long it holds above $2,500 will shape what comes next for other altcoins. Solana’s rise toward $200 also shows strength in layer 1s with real usage and volume growth. Both are back in the spotlight.
But BlockDAG is offering something different, a build-first approach. With a successful CertiK audit and more than $247 million raised, the project is earning attention through action, not just hype. Its low entry price of $0.0020, frozen until June 13, gives room for upside before the next batch kicks in. With exchange listings on the way and a clear roadmap, BlockDAG may be one of the most promising launches of 2025.
