BlockDAG’s Accelerated Presale Nears Finish Line as Binance Listing Speculation Intensifies
In a dramatic acceleration of its fundraising timeline, BlockDAG has moved its presale deadline forward by over two weeks, from February 10 to January 26, 2026. This strategic shift comes as the project demonstrates remarkable momentum, having already secured $440.64 million of its ambitious $600 million target, with only 3.55 billion coins remaining for purchase. The project's rapid advancement is further highlighted by its production-ready mainnet and an imminent Token Generation Event (TGE), signaling a mature development stage rarely seen in presale projects. This aggressive timeline revision suggests strong confidence from the development team and aligns with growing market anticipation, particularly regarding a potential listing on a major exchange like Binance. The presale price is poised for its final phase, creating a sense of urgency among investors seeking to capitalize on the project's advanced technological foundation and bullish trajectory before the window closes.
BlockDAG Presale Accelerates as Deadline Moves to January 26
BlockDAG’s presale phase has been abruptly shortened, with the deadline now set for January 26—a significant revision from the original February 10 cutoff. The project’s rapid progress is underscored by its production-ready mainnet and an imminent Token Generation Event (TGE).
Investors have already committed $440.64 million toward the $600 million target, leaving just 3.55 billion coins remaining. With the presale price poised to surge to $0.0133, the final stretch promises volatility. Speculation mounts that demand could exhaust remaining inventory before the revised deadline.
All eyes are on Binance, where a potential listing could catalyze further momentum. Historical precedents—like 2025’s $600 million token sale cohort—suggest exchange listings often trigger parabolic moves. The project’s roadmap now hinges on two critical dates: January 26 for presale closure and February 10 for a possible launch or exchange debut.
Indian Billionaire Nikhil Kamath Holds No Bitcoin Despite Crypto's Global Appeal
Indian billionaire and Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath has revealed he holds no Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, citing limited knowledge of the asset class. His cautious stance mirrors broader institutional hesitancy in India, where regulatory uncertainty and a 30% tax on crypto gains persist as adoption barriers.
"I hold none, never have, honestly don't know enough to comment," Kamath stated during a discussion with CoinDCX CEO Sumit Gupta. The Zerodha founder plans to study blockchain technology in 2026, reflecting the delayed institutional learning curve in emerging markets.
Binance APAC head SB Seker emphasizes that regulatory clarity remains the missing link for India's crypto ecosystem. While retail adoption grows, institutional participation awaits clearer frameworks from policymakers navigating this digital frontier.
CZ Calls for Industry Action After $50M Address Poisoning Scam
Changpeng Zhao, Binance's former CEO, has urged coordinated efforts to combat address poisoning scams following a $50 million USDT theft. The victim's funds were siphoned through a meticulously crafted attack exploiting transaction history manipulation.
The heist unfolded with surgical precision. After a routine test transfer, the attacker's spoofed address—planted via prior microtransaction—tricked the victim into sending nearly 50 million USDT. Security analysts note this ranks among the most substantial on-chain phishing losses in 2025.
Binance's infrastructure became the unwitting launchpad for the attack, highlighting exchange-level vulnerabilities. The stolen stablecoins initially remained static—a fleeting moment of hope before likely being routed through privacy mixers or cross-chain bridges.
