This past week delivered three notable stories for crypto traders, SEI showing bullish technicals, PENGU riding an NFT-fueled rally, and BlockDAG extending its presale dominance. SEI’s Layer 1 activity and strong TVL growth have strengthened its case for a potential breakout. At the same time, PENGU has drawn hype through ecosystem expansion and cultural relevance.
Despite this, BlockDAG continues to outpace both. Now in Batch 29 at $0.0276, the project has raised more than $379 million while unveiling Dashboard V4, a presale platform that simulates post-launch market conditions. Backed by its global miner base and gamified buying incentives, BlockDAG (BDAG) is not only raising funds but also creating a functioning, competitive ecosystem before launch.
SEI Price Analysis Eyes Breakout Toward $0.90
SEI gained 5.82% between August 12 and 13, climbing from $2.75 to $2.91, fueled by $7.6 million in institutional inflows and trading volumes more than double its daily average. The price cleared multiple resistance levels, establishing firm support at $2.76 before testing $2.94. Selling pressure from a 396,000-volume pullback brought it to $2.88 before stabilizing around $2.90–$2.91.
Global crypto investment products recorded $572 million in inflows during the same period, with SEI’s weekly active users rising 18.4% to 16 million, surpassing Solana’s 14.8 million. Stronger developer activity, Aurora Labs partnerships, and wider Layer-1 adoption have fueled its rise. Chart patterns show an ascending triangle with higher lows and volume growth, supporting the bullish case. A breakout above $0.35 could set the path toward the $0.90 target, provided momentum holds.
PENGU Price Surge Fueled by NFTs & Cultural Reach
PENGU advanced 5.9% in 24 hours to $0.0376, extending its weekly gain to 10%. Trading volume climbed 19.62% to $785.63 million as the Pudgy Penguins brand, generating close to 1 billion daily impressions, drove strong visibility. The project’s first ecosystem game has launched, with two more in development, highlighting its ambition in NFTs and gaming.
Momentum received a boost when PENGU won Kraken’s Meme Coin Showdown with Williams Racing, outpacing DOG and BONK in trading activity and securing branding on a Formula 1 car. Institutional backing also emerged, as Nasdaq-listed BTCS Inc. added three Pudgy Penguins NFTs to its $300 million portfolio.
The NFT floor price rose 7% in a week, while speculation about a CBOE-sponsored ETF filing and SEC review continues. With market expansion into Asia, PENGU’s visibility is increasing, though its long-term trajectory still depends on sustaining adoption and maintaining ecosystem growth.
BlockDAG’s Dashboard V4 Creates a Competitive Presale Model
While SEI aims for a breakout and PENGU leverages cultural branding, BlockDAG is redefining presale participation by building an active, market-style experience before launch. Currently priced at $0.0276 in Batch 29, the presale has crossed $379 million with an expected listing price of $0.05. Its growth rests on three structural drivers.
The first is its X1 mobile miner network of 2.5 million participants. Using a Proof-of-Engagement model, users can earn BDAG coins without expensive hardware, ensuring adoption begins before exchange listing.
The second is Dashboard V4, an upgraded presale interface that mirrors live trading. Features include real-time price charts, wallet tracking, order book views, referral metrics, and leaderboard rankings. This creates transparency and keeps participants engaged like a live market environment.
The third is Buyer Battles, where the largest daily participant receives unsold coin allocations. This competitive incentive drives repeat activity, strengthens buying pressure, and keeps the presale highly interactive.
Together, these features turn BlockDAG’s presale into a functioning ecosystem. Instead of relying on hype alone, it blends adoption, transparency, and gamification, positioning itself for lasting strength.
Key Insights
SEI’s setup toward a $0.90 breakout and PENGU’s culture-driven surge both highlight the potential of short-term catalysts. Yet, they remain dependent on sentiment and market timing. BlockDAG, on the other hand, is creating a foundation that blends measurable adoption with interactive presale mechanics.
With more than $379 million raised and a presale price still under its $0.05 target, BlockDAG’s upside is clear. Dashboard V4 and Buyer Battles add interactive, real-market features that bridge presale anticipation with exchange-level trading.
As SEI tests resistance and PENGU works to sustain cultural momentum, BlockDAG is already proving its model. In a market that rewards both participation and infrastructure, it stands out as a project capable of holding attention long after initial hype fades.
