170K Join BlockDAG’s Buyer Battle, ICP Recovers Above $5, UNI Watch Continues

BlockDAG’s Buyer Battles Attract 170K+ Users While ICP Pushes Past $5 and UNI Faces a Pause

A lot is happening across the crypto market this week, with three names drawing different attention. Internet Computer (ICP) is bouncing back after last week’s dip. Uniswap (UNI) continues to hold gains, but some on-chain movement has raised a few questions. Meanwhile, BlockDAG’s presale is heating up as it turns buying into a competition with its newly introduced Buyer Battles feature.

The result? A sharp increase in presale activity and a growing community that’s now over 170,000 strong. Let’s look at what’s driving each project’s recent headlines.

ICP Breaks $5 After Week of Mixed Action

Internet Computer (ICP) is showing some life again after slipping midweek. The coin dropped to a low of $4.58 before regaining ground, closing out the weekend with a 3.58% uptick to $4.92. That climb continued Tuesday with a push above $5, landing ICP at $5.09. By the latest update, it had moved slightly higher to $5.16.

Although it hasn’t made any dramatic moves yet, the recent 7% weekly gain is enough to put ICP back on traders’ radars. Some analysts read The steady climb as early strength, suggesting the coin may be positioned for a longer-term bounce if volume holds up.

UNI Stays Steady, But Whale Move Raises Eyebrows

Uniswap (UNI) has been riding positive momentum too, with a 12.8% gain this week that brought it up near $5.92. But a large transfer is now drawing attention. According to on-chain data reported by Wu Blockchain, a wallet linked to either an early investor or team advisor moved 9 million UNI coins to Coinbase Prime.

While UNI’s price hasn’t dropped following the move, traders are keeping a close watch. Large transfers like this can sometimes foreshadow profit-taking or redistribution, so there’s some caution heading into the weekend. If selling pressure stays low, the recent gains might hold. But any increase in volume on exchanges could test the coin’s short-term strength.

BlockDAG Buyer Battles Create Daily Competition With Real Stakes

BlockDAG is taking a different route to gain traction—and it’s working. The project has rolled out a new feature called Buyer Battles, where each 24-hour cycle gives participants access to a shared pool of 25 million BDAG coins. Everyone who buys during that time gets a piece, but there’s a twist: if all coins aren’t claimed by the end of the day, the buyer with the highest volume gets the rest.

It’s simple, competitive, and has sparked a surge in presale activity. More than 170,000 unique users are now holding BDAG, and this format is encouraging users to come back daily to track the leaderboard and try to win the top spot. Instead of waiting for launches or price updates, participants are now actively engaged every day.

On top of this new feature, the BDAG coin has been temporarily rolled back to $0.0025. That’s a 90% discount from Batch 27’s price of $0.0248, and the offer is live only until April 29. With launch pricing set at $0.05, the current entry point is being viewed as a rare second chance for latecomers.

Since the start of the presale, BDAG has climbed 2,380% from its opening rate of $0.001. More than $220.5 million has already been raised, and over 19.3 billion coins have been sold. Many in the community are pointing to a $1 price target once BDAG hits exchanges, and with over 10 listings already confirmed, the timeline looks short.

Another announcement is expected once the rollback ends, which could bring more clarity around launch plans. Until then, this gamified structure continues to bring in buyers, with Telegram groups actively discussing strategy and rewards.

What to Watch Going Forward

There’s plenty to keep an eye on heading into the weekend. If it holds, ICP’s quiet climb back above $5 could hint at more movement. UNI still has momentum, but the recent coin transfer has created some uncertainty. Whether that turns into real market action remains to be seen.

BlockDAG, however, is pulling away from the usual script. The Buyer Battles feature gives users something new to engage with daily, while the limited-time rollback has created a sense of urgency. Combined with long-term price expectations, a $0.0025 entry looks like a strong setup for those still watching from the sidelines.

With over $220 million in presale funds already secured and daily activity rising, BlockDAG’s approach is gaining attention beyond the usual presale crowd. And if projections hold, this could be one of the final low-cost entries before prices increase sharply.
