Ripple CTO Joins Meme Coin Effect, Fuels 40% Price Rally for PHNIX

Ripple CTO Joins Meme Coin Effect, Fuels 40% Price Rally for PHNIX

PHNIX, a token built on the XRP Ledger and the associated NFT, surged by almost 40% after Ripple (Twitter) profile picture to a PHNIX NFT. The move mirrors token reactions after the purported DOGE father flips his profit picture to a particular meme coin. Ripple CTO Sparks PHNIX Frenzy With Profile Picture Shift, Token Soars 40% The move sent traders into a frenzy, reviving comparisons with Elon Musk’s history of sparking meme coin rallies through subtle social media tweaks. “The Phoenix rises higher today. Thank you, Joel Katz, for embracing the vision. From ashes to eternity, $PHNIX lives on XRPL,” the official Phoenix account wrote. In the immediate aftermath, PHNIX token rose nearly 40% to trade for $0.00002264 as of this writing. Phoenix (PHNIX) Price Performance. Source: CoinGecko The rally mirrors past episodes tied to Elon Musk. In 2021, Dogecoin jumped 20% after Musk briefly changed his X profile picture to reference the DOGE meme coin. Earlier this year, his decision to rename his profile to “Harry Bōlz” triggered a 3,000% rally in the associated token. Similarly, the KEKIUS soared 120% in May after Musk adopted it as part of his X branding. Therefore, Schwartz’s move brings that same speculative energy into the XRP ecosystem. However, unlike Musk, the Ripple CTO is not known for meme coin antics, making the endorsement all the more surprising. The PHNIX surge highlights the influence of high-profile crypto figures on market psychology. While Schwartz did not comment on whether his profile change was intended as an endorsement, the effect was immediate. Data on CoinGecko highlights liquidity and trading volumes in PHNIX spiked as retail traders rushed to buy in. This phenomenon suggests a broader theme in crypto markets, where meme coins become a shilling point for speculative liquidity. “Meme coins may seem unconventional, but they highlight the power of community in crypto,” Tron founder and Huobi Global advisor Justin Sun said during Token2049. Personality-driven actions, memes, and cultural signals can often overshadow fundamentals in the short term. Nonetheless, Musk-related rallies have historically fizzled after initial euphoria, often leaving latecomers exposed. This suggests the PHNIX price could suffer a similar pattern unless a subsequent fundamental event or announcement presents.

BlockDAG Presale Nears $400M & 3M Miners Outshine BlockchainFX, Ozak AI

BlockDAG Presale Nears $400M & 3M Miners Outshine BlockchainFX, Ozak AI

The post BlockDAG Presale Nears $400M & 3M Miners Outshine BlockchainFX, Ozak AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. What separates hype from real traction? BlockchainFX and Ozak AI have both drawn attention, raising millions and promoting ambitious AI and multi-asset platforms. But while these projects focus on what’s ahead, BlockDAG is showing measurable adoption today. Its X1 app has already attracted over 3 million active miners, proving that engagement is locked in before launch. At the same time, its presale has surged to nearly $400 million with more than 26 billion coins sold. This momentum makes BlockDAG the defining top presale crypto of 2025. BlockDAG X1 App Hits 3M Users, Here’s Why That Matters BlockDAG has reached a major milestone, crossing 3 million active miners on its X1 mobile app, with real users mining BDAG directly from their smartphones. This kind of adoption typically follows a launch, yet BlockDAG is achieving it during presale, a clear signal of real-world traction. At the same time, thousands of X10 hardware rigs are being shipped globally, expanding access through both mobile and physical mining devices. Moreover, 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. Not to mention, the presale is close to amassing $400M in record time. Whale activity has reinforced this growth story. Leaderboard entries have reached $4.4 million and $4.3 million, topping previous highs and sparking competition among large buyers. This mix of strong community adoption, global hardware distribution, multi-million-dollar entries, and a presale that continues to break records gives BlockDAG a unique edge. By…

Whale Buys, ALGO Outlook & Pi Drop

Whale Buys, ALGO Outlook & Pi Drop

The post Whale Buys, ALGO Outlook & Pi Drop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Compare BlockDAG’s $4.4M whale entries and $395M presale with Pi Coin’s 90% crash and Algorand’s payroll push. Explore adoption, traction, and long-term potential. Market charts tell one story, but adoption tells another. Pi Coin has slumped to new lows near $0.33, dragged down by looming token unlocks and falling confidence. Algorand (ALGO) is quietly gaining traction with new payroll integrations and ISO compliance, opening doors for real-world payments. Yet the loudest headlines are being written by BlockDAG, which is proving that momentum built on fundamentals can outshine hype. With the launch of TRADEBDAG, the release of Dashboard V4, and 3 million participants using the X1 Miner App, BlockDAG is coupling growth with delivery. A fresh $4.4M whale entry signals confidence at scale, drawing attention to a presale that is rapidly transforming into one of the largest in crypto history. $4.4M Whale Entry Underscores BlockDAG’s Growth Large-scale commitments rarely follow noise; they follow proof. Recently, BlockDAG recorded two back-to-back whale entries of $4.4M and $4.3M, overtaking the prior leaderboard peak of $3.8M. These aren’t casual moves; they’re bets on a system already delivering product milestones ahead of its exchange debut. The rollout of TRADEBDAG, BlockDAG’s integrated trading module, has given participants utility in advance of listings. Alongside it, Dashboard V4 now offers a modernized UI, better analytics, and deeper presale insights, creating transparency that few presales match. Community push further amplifies the case. 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, BlockDAG has introduced a new special presale price of $0.0013 per BDAG until October 1. This rate will remain in effect for the final 30 days leading up to deployment.

BlockDAG’s 3M Miners & $395M Presale Outshine Lyno AI & Nexchain AI

BlockDAG’s 3M Miners & $395M Presale Outshine Lyno AI & Nexchain AI

The post BlockDAG’s 3M Miners & $395M Presale Outshine Lyno AI & Nexchain AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News See how BlockDAG’s 3M miners & $395M presale eclipse Lyno AI’s $17K raise and Nexchain AI’s $9.4M push, redefining the race in presale crypto coins. Where is real attention going in presale crypto coins right now? Lyno AI is making waves with its AI-driven arbitrage across 15+ blockchains, offering tools once reserved for institutions. Meanwhile, Nexchain AI is racing through Stage 26 of its presale, pulling in $9.4M with its AI-powered Layer-1 chain. Both are creating headlines, but a much bigger story is unfolding elsewhere. BlockDAG is not just raising money; it has already built a user base of more than 3M miners through its X1 app. This scale of adoption before launch is something most projects struggle to achieve even after listing. With a special price of $0.0013 available until October 1, BlockDAG (BDAG) is making its case as the standout pick of 2025. BlockDAG Turns X1 Adoption Into a Presale Surge BlockDAG’s X1 mobile mining app has shocked the market, growing from zero to 3M+ users in record time. Before listing, BDAG has managed to build one of the largest active communities in crypto. Each download adds another participant mining daily and sharing the project organically, proving adoption is already in motion. The presale has entered Batch 30 with tokens priced at $0.03, a sharp rise from the $0.001 entry point. But now, until October 1, buyers can purchase BDAG for $.0013. Adding to this 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, BlockDAG has introduced a new special presale price of $0.0013 per BDAG until October 1. This rate will remain in effect for the final 30 days leading up…

Massive Gains Caught Early: Here Are the Next Altcoins to Explode in 2025!

Massive Gains Caught Early: Here Are the Next Altcoins to Explode in 2025!

Trying to figure out the next altcoin to explode isn’t just about hype; it’s about finding projects with real momentum, strong fundamentals, and a growing user base. With Q4 2025 on the horizon, a handful of crypto names are separating themselves from the pack. Whether it’s high-speed Layer 1s, enterprise utility, or mobile-first mining, these coins aren’t just ticking boxes; they’re rewriting the playbook. This list highlights four standout projects making waves for all the right reasons. From massive presale raises to cross-chain innovations and real-world partnerships, these altcoins are proving they’re built for more than a short-term rally. Here’s why BlockDAG (BDAG), ADA, VET, and SEI deserve a closer look this August. BlockDAG: $395M Raised and Prepping for Major Deployment Event Forget choosing between Solana’s TPS and Ethereum’s flexibility; BlockDAG is doing both and more. This new-age Layer 1 is pushing boundaries with its dual-consensus setup: Proof-of-Work for rock-solid security and Proof-of-Engagement to bring mobile users into the fold. The result? A blazing-fast chain that clocks 2,000–15,000 TPS, supports smart contracts, and fuels a new wave of dApps. On the community side, 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, BlockDAG has introduced a new special presale price of $0.0013 per BDAG until October 1. This rate will remain in effect for the final 30 days leading up to deployment. BlockDAG has already amassed $395M in its presale, and this cutback is a huge discount on the $0.03 batch 30 price.  On top of that, 3 million users are actively mining on the X1 mobile app, while BlockDAG is preparing for 20 exchange listings and rolling out partnerships with big names like Inter Milan, Seattle Orcas, and UFC champ Alex Pereira. With this level of traction, it’s not just another presale; it’s the next altcoin to explode. Cardano: The Academic Chain Levels Up ADA might’ve stayed quiet through the summer heat, but it’s ramping up again. August brought renewed excitement around Hydra, Cardano’s L2 scaling solution that aims to handle instant payments and low-cost microtransactions. Add to that the privacy-focused Midnight sidechain, which is attracting developers thanks to its use of zero-knowledge proofs and compliance-friendly tech. While Cardano’s careful, research-heavy style has annoyed impatient traders in the past, its slow-and-steady approach might be paying off now. In an era focused on regulation and security, Cardano’s long-term strategy looks increasingly attractive.  At $0.43 in August 2025, ADA is still far from its all-time highs, which leaves the door wide open for a strong move, especially if activity surges post-Hydra launch. With $11 billion in market cap and one of the most loyal communities in crypto, ADA is lining up as the next altcoin to explode for those betting on fundamentals, not FOMO. VeChain: Business-Grade Blockchain in Action VeChain keeps proving that real-world use cases still matter in crypto. Best known for tackling supply chain inefficiencies, VET has had a solid Q3 thanks to new partnerships, particularly in logistics and food verification. In August 2025, VeChain sealed a pilot program with a leading European freight company that’ll integrate its blockchain into 2,000+ trucks, with more phases planned for later this year. The price has climbed nearly 20% in the past month, trading at $0.031. That’s still well below its peak, making it attractive for those hunting for value. But it’s not just about the charts, VET isn’t chasing short-term hype.  It’s plugging into businesses needing sustainability reporting, carbon data, and transparent product tracking. For anyone searching for the next altcoin to explode with long-term relevance and real-world demand, VeChain deserves a spot on the shortlist. Sei: Where DeFi Hits Hyperdrive SEI isn’t trying to be another all-purpose chain; it’s locked in on one mission: speeding up trading. Designed specifically for DeFi, SEI upgraded its native order-matching engine in August 2025, now offering sub-second finality for DEXs. That makes it a go-to pick for builders working on derivatives, games, and high-frequency DeFi apps. What’s really got the market watching SEI is its total value locked, TVL has doubled in six weeks, showing strong momentum in user and developer activity. Trading around $0.26, SEI is climbing steadily as more apps launch and liquidity incentives roll out. SEI’s not slowing down, either. It’s bridging with big chains like Arbitrum and Osmosis, unlocking more flexibility for cross-chain asset flows. With a tight focus on speed, integration, and trading utility, SEI stands out as one of the next altcoins to explode in the coming months. Final Words The next big winners in crypto won’t be chosen by hype; they’ll be backed by substance, strategy, and user demand. BlockDAG is charging ahead with a powerful hybrid model, over $395 million raised, and 3 million mobile miners already on board.  Cardano is stepping up with long-awaited tech upgrades like Hydra and Midnight. VeChain is locking in real adoption with enterprise clients, while Sei is rapidly becoming the go-to chain for fast DeFi execution. Each of these names brings something bold and unique to the table. For those watching the space closely, these aren’t just coins; they’re the next altcoins to explode in 2025 and beyond.
