BlockDAG News: Why Is the Project Launching a New BDAG Coin?
BlockDAG News: Legacy BDAG Promos Continue Alongside New Coin
The biggest development in today's BlockDAG news isn't another discount code. It's a newly published Native Coin White Paper that answers a question many readers have been asking directly: why is BlockDAG launching a second coin after already running a presale for years?
Why a New Native BDAG Coin Exists
Per the project's own August 2026 white paper, the reasoning centers on what BlockDAG calls a "Fresh Start," framed around a stronger foundation than the original presale had:
A live BlockDAG blockchain, already running
A live BlockDAG Casino product
Physical miners currently being delivered
BlockDAGX, the project's own exchange, launching
A Super App in active development
$100M in planned launch liquidity, funded from presale proceeds and company funds
The stated pitch is that existing BDAG holders keep everything they already have, called Legacy BDAG, while also receiving an allocation of a fresh token called New cryptocurrency at no extra cost. According to the document, nothing is removed or devalued; both coins stay mineable and usable across the same ecosystem, including mining, wallets, the casino, BlockDAGX, and the Super App.
BlockDAG News: How the New Asset Allocation Works
The New BlockDAG structure is, in practice, a fresh 25-stage presale layered on top of the existing token. Key figures from the white paper:
Detail | Value |
Total New BDAG supply | 150 billion |
Stage 1 price | $0.002 |
Final stage (25) price | $0.05 |
Stated launch reference price | $0.10 |
Existing-holder bonus code | STAGE1, for a 15% bonus |
The 150 billion New BDAG supply is split four ways: 50 billion reinstated for existing users, 50 billion for mining rewards, 25 billion for the new public presale, and 25 billion for ecosystem use. As an example from the document itself, a $100 purchase at the $0.002 Stage 1 price buys 50,000 fresh BDAG, which becomes 57,500 with the eligible 15% bonus applied.
Context to Know Before You Buy
A few things are worth weighing before treating this purely as a bonus. The $100M planned launch liquidity figure is explicitly described in the same white paper as not guaranteed, tied to future presale proceeds rather than funds already secured. Native coin is also, functionally, a brand-new multi-stage token sale, arriving from a project whose original BDAG presale has previously seen shifting terms and multiple delayed launch dates over its history.
It's also worth noting this BlockDAG news lands while an unresolved, previously reported investigation into alleged funding discrepancies and breach-of-contract allegations remains flagged directly on BlockDAG's own CoinMarketCap page, via a standing warning banner. None of that means the Native coin plan won't proceed as described, but it's the kind of context that belongs alongside any "free allocation" framing.
Price Action and Legacy Promos
While the Native Coin announcement is the bigger structural story, BlockDAG's existing Legacy BDAG promotions are still running in parallel. Per the project's official X account:
The BULLRUN200 code, offering 200% extra tokens, is in its final 24 hours
New Purchase Milestone Rewards are live: purchase #5 pays $200, #10 pays $400, #20 pays $1,000, and #50 pays $3,000 in Legacy token, up to $4,600 cumulatively
The $3M USDT raffle closes within 24 hours, with each $100 purchase earning one entry
BDAG's open-market price is moving today too. As of this writing, The network trades at $0.00002267, up 15.28% over 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap.
Metric | Value |
Price | $0.00002267 (+15.28% 24h) |
Market Cap | $2.08M (0% 24h) |
Unlocked Market Cap | $2.63M |
Volume (24h) | $1.05M (+13.27%) |
FDV | $3.4M |
Total Supply | 104.3B token |
Max Supply | 150B token |
Self-reported circulating supply | 91.82B tokens(flagged by CoinMarketCap as self-reported) |
Conclusion
Today's BlockDAG news is really two stories at once: a structural relaunch built around a new 150-billion-supply Native Coin, and a final-hours push on existing Legacy BDAG promotions. The "Fresh Start" framing gives existing holders a free allocation on paper, but the underlying mechanics are still a new multi-stage presale, arriving alongside liquidity promises the project itself calls unguaranteed.
