When price trends stall and market caps dip, many developers begin to focus less on surface metrics and more on deeper value and potential for the future. In the last three months, Cosmos (ATOM) saw a 28% drop in price, while OKB stayed steady thanks to its practical uses and exchange-based support.
While both coins continue to hold relevance, it is BlockDAG (BDAG) that’s currently attracting growing attention from the developer crowd—and not just because of financial gains. The recent announcements made in Keynote 3, introducing BlockDAG’s Academy and its grant program, have reignited interest among creators. This isn’t seen as just another crypto project—it’s being recognized as a long-term build space.
The $214 million already raised and the 2,380% ROI since the start of its presale point to a strong foundation—but what’s drawing in developers is the focus on building, not speculation. Many now view BlockDAG as a space to work on projects that matter in the long run, with resources and purpose behind them.
Cosmos (ATOM): Performance Review and Market Data
On April 1, 2025, ATOM was priced at $4.70 with 390,934,204 tokens in circulation, giving it a total market cap near $1.84 billion. On January 1, 2025, ATOM had been trading at $6.53, showing a sharp 27.9% drop over the quarter. This price fall is in line with broader crypto market uncertainty and shifting user confidence.
The market cap also fell as a result of this price decline, highlighting possible changes in strategy from participants in the space. Despite ATOM’s established reputation in blockchain technology, this downward trend reflects how even strong players face setbacks during unpredictable market phases. These shifts remind everyone how vital lasting utility and fresh development can be to staying relevant.
OKB (OKB): Stable Price with Steady Market Position
By April 1, 2025, OKB was priced at $48.31 with 60,000,000 tokens circulating, giving it a market cap of about $2.9 billion. At the start of the year, it had been $48.42—indicating a very small dip of just 0.2% over the first three months. Such limited movement signals a relatively calm market reaction around this coin.
Its market cap, as expected, also remained fairly stable, aligning with the unchanging price trend. This kind of consistency in performance is often seen as a strength, especially in a crypto space known for big shifts. Much of this reliability may be due to its role within the OKX exchange and its established user base. While growth was limited, the absence of losses might appeal to those seeking steady digital holdings.
BlockDAG Draws Developers After Keynote 3, Unveiling Academy and Grants!
Rather than offering just updates, BlockDAG’s keynote 3 shifted focus toward building tools for developers. The launch of the BlockDAG Academy—an education center for developers—alongside grant offerings and regular hackathons, has quickly brought the project into the spotlight for those ready to build.
The Academy aims to make it easier for developers of all experience levels to get started, while grants support the transformation of promising ideas into working projects. Paired with hackathons and rewards for competition, the setup encourages creation and not mere speculation.
These initiatives come alongside rising numbers. With $214 million raised during its presale, BlockDAG is currently in batch 27, priced at $0.0248. Over 19.1 billion coins have been sold so far. Those who joined from the first batch have seen returns rise by 2,380%.
This rapid growth—combined with actual support for builders—has created momentum: builders add value, value attracts more interest, and interest pushes further expansion. BlockDAG isn’t just offering coins; it’s providing a full system for contribution, creation, and purpose-driven progress. For Web3 creators, BlockDAG is setting a new benchmark.
Summing Up!
Price trends are just one part of the story—where developers commit their work says even more. While ATOM works through its recent decline and OKB maintains its position, BlockDAG is charging forward by offering not just funding but actual tools and support for building.
Although the headline figures—$214 million raised and 19.1 billion coins sold—are impressive, it’s the backing for builders through the Academy, grants, and hackathons that’s shifting the spotlight. Creators aren’t waiting on the sidelines anymore—they’re jumping in. While others focus on preserving value, BlockDAG is actively generating it, and for those building in Web3, that’s what truly matters.
