Speculation remains a powerful force in cryptocurrency, with meme coins and altcoins often moving on bold narratives rather than sustained delivery. Traders continue to chase volatility as sentiment shifts rapidly across the market.
PEPE is facing turbulence following Bitcoin’s correction, with forecasts pointing to further swings unless resistance levels are cleared. Cardano, meanwhile, is riding on speculation tied to potential ETF filings, with no confirmed developments but plenty of attention from retail and institutional watchers.
BlockDAG is setting itself apart by delivering measurable results before launch. With 3 million active users on its X1 Miner App and almost $400 million already raised in presale, it is proving that adoption and traction can outshine speculation. This foundation positions BlockDAG (BDAG) as the top bullish crypto story heading into 2025.
PEPE Price Prediction Teases Wild Swings Ahead
PEPE is trading near $0.00001027 after a sharp 5% drop in the last 24 hours, triggered by Bitcoin’s market correction that spilled into meme coins. CoinCodex projections suggest further weakness, with prices dipping to $0.000007935 by the end of August and hovering near $0.000008116 in September, signaling a 25% slide.

Still, technicals keep hope alive. Analyst Joe Swanson points to a double-bottom pattern forming with neckline resistance at 1265. A confirmed breakout could ignite a surge toward 1890, representing a 65% rally. Until then, traders view PEPE as a high-risk bet riding meme-driven volatility.
Cardano ETF Buzz Fuels Speculation on Price Jumps
Cardano is holding near $0.86 as speculation around a potential ETF sparks debate. Market chatter grew when rumors linked BlackRock to an ADA filing, even though the asset manager clarified its focus remains on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The influence of BlackRock is powerful, with its Bitcoin ETF driving BTC past $120,000, leaving traders to imagine a similar catalyst for ADA.

Analysts suggest an ETF filing could propel Cardano to $1.20–$1.50 quickly, with approvals pushing toward $2.50–$3.00 and revisiting past highs. For now, the idea remains speculative, but Cardano’s strong community and staking ecosystem ensure it stays on the radar of those betting on the next big move.
BlockDAG’s 3 Million Miners Presale Nearing $400M Signals a New Era
BlockDAG is proving that adoption can be measured in real numbers rather than speculation. The project has now surpassed 3 million users on its X1 Miner App, showing that people are engaging with its Proof of Engagement model before launch. This mobile-first system rewards simple daily activity with BDAG mining, making entry easy for anyone with a smartphone. Such a scale demonstrates that BlockDAG is building from the ground up with participation rather than chasing hype.
Features such as Buyer Battles, where the largest daily buyer secures unsold allocations, have added a competitive edge that keeps engagement high and ensures continued traction.
Adding to the hype, BlockDAG is ready to host a major Deployment Event in Singapore. After withdrawing from Token2049 due to local restrictions on presale promotions, the team opted to launch its own flagship event. Additionally, despite being priced at $0.03 in Batch 30 of its presale, BlockDAG has introduced a new special price of $0.0013 per BDAG until October 1. This rate will remain in effect for the final 30 days leading up to deployment. The presale has already raised nearly $400M in record time.

Looking ahead, analysts have set ambitious yet attainable projections, with targets ranging from $1 in the near term to as high as $20 in the long run. Backed by confirmed exchange listings, massive miner adoption, and gamified presale mechanics, BlockDAG is positioning itself as the bullish crypto that can outpace speculation and define 2025.
Key Points
PEPE and Cardano continue to capture interest, yet much of their movement is tied to speculation. PEPE faces pressure unless resistance is broken, and Cardano’s growth hopes remain centered on the possibility of an ETF that has not materialized. Both remain relevant but uncertain in their near-term direction.
BlockDAG is moving differently by proving adoption and building measurable traction. With 3 million X1 miners, almost $400 million raised in presale, Buyer Battles driving engagement, and upcoming deployment event, it is creating a framework for real growth. In 2025, BlockDAG stands out as a bullish crypto with staying power.
