Is your crypto app actually doing something—or just handing out points?
Apr 13, 2025 at 12:00 pm
While the upcoming Ethereum upgrade set for May 7 is grabbing attention and the Tron price holds steady after a 6.6% dip this year

The upcoming Ethereum upgrade set for May 7 is grabbing attention, and the Tron price is holding steady after a 6.6% dip this year. But a new name is quietly climbing the charts of every top trending crypto list: BlockDAG.
The network’s mobile miner, X1, just crossed 1 million users—and unlike other mining apps, they aren’t just counting clicks. Users are mining real BDAG coins with actual value.
That’s where the Pi Network comparison starts—and ends. Pi handed out points with no clear path to liquidity. BlockDAG, on the other hand, already has a live beta testnet, over $213.5M raised in its presale, and multiple CEX listings lined up. Pi is still waiting. X1 is already delivering.
And a million users just got in early.
X1 Hits 1 Million: BlockDAG Delivers What Pi Still Hasn’t
BlockDAG’s X1 Miner app just passed 1 million users—and that’s not just a number. Unlike Pi Network, which still hasn’t launched a tradable token, BlockDAG users are mining BDAG coins with real utility, backed by a working beta testnet and a major presale that’s already raised over $213.5 million. The X1 app is designed for everyday users to mine BDAG directly from their phones without using heavy resources, and it’s now one of the biggest platforms in mobile mining.
The hype around Pi was real, but its token is still stuck in testnet limbo with no clear launch timeline. BlockDAG, on the other hand, is already in Batch 27 of its presale, with BDAG priced at $0.0248—a huge jump from its starting price of $0.001. More than 19.2 billion coins have been sold, and early supporters have already seen up to 2,380% returns. The presale has a hard cap of $600 million, and the team is well on its way there.
What makes BlockDAG even more exciting is the roadmap ahead. Its testnet is live with token and NFT creation tools, and the mainnet is coming this year. The team plans to list BDAG on over 10 centralized exchanges, which could send demand soaring after the presale ends.
With this level of user growth and product delivery, it’s no surprise BlockDAG is now a top trending crypto. And with millions already mining from their phones, it’s likely to stay a top trending crypto for months to come.
Upcoming Ethereum Upgrade Could Flip Bearish Trend
Ethereum is trading around $1,585 after dipping to $1,450 on April 7—its lowest price since late 2023. The drop triggered major liquidations, including a $105 million loss from a whale position tied to a collateralized loan. Despite that, excitement is building for the upcoming Ethereum upgrade, scheduled for May 7.
This Ethereum upgrade—known as Pectra—is expected to boost network performance and staking efficiency. With Ethereum still benefiting from the approval of spot ETFs in mid-2024 and predictions pointing to long-term gains, the upgrade could help reverse recent losses. Some analysts even see potential for ETH to break past $5,000 as adoption rises. All signs point to a key turning point that could decide whether Ethereum stays flat or climbs back to the top.
Holding Strong: Tron price Stability Signals What’s Next for TRX
The Tron price is holding steady at around $0.232 after a minor dip, showing only a 6.6% decrease year-to-date. While many coins saw sharper pullbacks, TRX has remained relatively stable. Forecasts are pointing to possible short-term gains, with predictions suggesting it could hit $0.234 in the next 30 days, and others even estimating a 35% increase by April 11.
On the development front, Tron’s ecosystem continues to grow. TronBank.Pro, a staking and energy leasing platform on the network, is joining the April 8 “Crypto 2025” event to explore new solutions and collaborations. With steady adoption, ongoing platform activity, and strong community support, the Tron price is worth keeping an eye on, especially if momentum builds after this event. TRX may not be the flashiest coin, but it’s holding its ground—and that could work in its favor.
Summing Up
The Ethereum upgrade coming on May 7 could be a big shift for ETH, especially after its recent dip below $1,500. Meanwhile, the Tron price has stayed stable through the recent market swings, and upcoming events could give TRX some upside. But the spotlight now is turning toward BlockDAG, especially with its X1 app crossing one million users
