Could the BlockDAG listing date stretch into March 2026 as the team prioritizes delivery over hype? That is the key question many crypto watchers are asking after recent AMAs confirmed a clear sequence: mainnet first, then TGE, and finally exchange listings. With presale momentum strong and leadership signalling discipline, the project now enters its most critical execution phase.
Leadership clarity has become the strongest signal in recent BlockDAG news. CEO Nic Van den Bergh has publicly confirmed over X that the roadmap is locked around execution, not speculation. The priority order is simple: complete mainnet, move to TGE, then proceed with listings.

During the January 2 AMA, team representative Jeremy Harkness explained that the technical foundation is already in place and the focus is now on delivery. This not only eliminates any doubt about the rush launch but also implies a planned strategy towards the BlockDAG launch date.
The group has also revealed a 60-day AMA series that is set to continue until the TGE. As a few sessions have been held so far, it is an indirect implication that the listing process might take place in late February or early March of 2026.
Another highly publicized event is the presale. Based on shared information, the project has so far managed to raise a total of $440.76 million with a targeted goal set at $600 million. Only 3.54 billion coins are remaining. The price stands at $0.0106 with the next price step at $0.0133.

The BDAG presale end date is currently tentatively set for January 26, 2026, allowing just over three weeks. The final stage of presale is critical as it is directly contributes to the expansion of the ecosystem, readiness for validators, as well as the post-listing liquidity. At this point, any form of BDAG price prediction is highly speculative before the mainnet launch. A successful presale has historically enhanced the overall process for the TGE.
The next major development will be the launch of BlockDAG Mainnet. While in the earlier roadmaps, this development would take place sometime in Q4 2025, some delays resulted in operational limitations. However, with tests already underway on its testnet in September 2025, development has been underway quietly.
Regarding mainnet, current projections have it happening in mid-February of the year 2026, around February 10. This is close to previous timelines scheduled for BDAG presale end. The team has, however, not made a formal announcement. This prudent communication strategy fits well with current announcements made on security, protecting treasuries, among others.
This phase will prove to be highly influential, as it will provide a launch point for trust and adoption on mainnet.
Next is TGE and listings after mainnet. It seems from recent AMAs held by the team, they hinted at AMAs ending when TGE begins, indirectly pointing towards late Q1 2026. This puts rumors about BlockDAG listing dates around late Feb or early March.
The previous announcements had mentioned plans for listing on close to 20 exchanges. Nevertheless, recent updates point to a more selective approach through 8-11 exchanges. Five had already been mentioned in previous announcements, namely MEXC, BitMart, Coinstore, LBank, and XT.com.
Market analysts now anticipate fewer but more robust platforms, possibly including major exchanges like Binance, Bybit, KuCoin and more. Names are yet to be identified as all hypotheses are speculative.
The BlockDAG listing date is still pending confirmation, but the road has just been put into focus. The completion of the presale, mainnet launch, TGE, followed eventually by selective exchange listings, looks increasingly organized between now and possibly March 2026. In contrast to many other crypto start-ups, BlockDAG looks to be concentrating on delivery rather than hastily setting progressively more optimistic timelines.
