In the crypto market, partnerships and ecosystem expansions are often viewed as fuel for growth. Yet the latest movements in BONK and Pi Coin show that headlines alone don’t always secure upward momentum. Despite high-profile deals and bursts of activity, both tokens are struggling to find their footing in the charts. BONK, despite aligning with World Liberty Financial and Safety Shot, continues to falter. Pi Coin, weighed down by stagnation and bearish pressure, struggles to inspire fresh confidence.
In sharp contrast, BlockDAG is rewriting what a presale can achieve. With $396 million already raised, a special $0.0013 deployment price in Batch 30, and miners actively shipping worldwide, the project has moved past speculation. Its Deployment Event and gamified Buyer Battles are fueling real engagement. Add in 130+ countries running BlockDAG miners and 312,000+ unique coin holders, and BlockDAG is proving it’s building a global foundation before its launch.
BONK Faces Setbacks Despite Big Partnerships
Bonk.fun’s much-anticipated partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLF), making it the official USD1 launchpad on Solana, was expected to spark momentum. Instead, BONK slipped, falling 5.18% in a single day to $0.00002105, with monthly losses nearing 19%. This downturn followed optimism that WLF’s stablecoin integration would bring new liquidity into BONK’s ecosystem. While USD1 launched successfully across Solana protocols like Raydium and Kamino, BONK investors were left disappointed.
Interestingly, trading activity did not die down. BONK’s volume spiked 40% in 24 hours to $32 million, showing that despite falling prices, traders remain engaged. A second major development came through Bonk’s alliance with Nasdaq-listed Safety Shot. This deal involved $25 million worth of BONK in exchange for $35 million in convertible shares, with Safety Shot targeting 4–5% of BONK’s supply. Yet even this financial backing has not triggered recovery, leaving analysts cautious. For now, BONK’s future depends on patience and whether it can reclaim higher support levels.
Pi Coin Struggles to Break Out of Its Downtrend
Pi Coin opened September with a sharp 10% drop, erasing recent gains from its U.S. listing news and unsettling investors. The decline highlights ongoing supply pressure, though relief may come this month as only 161 million tokens are set to unlock, nearly half of August’s volume, potentially easing selling activity.
On the development front, Pi Network is upgrading to Stellar protocol version 23 on September 3, enhancing smart contract capabilities, node coordination, and overall flexibility. While not directly impacting price, the upgrade could bolster long-term confidence in the network.
Hopes for recovery also rest on potential new exchange listings. Rumors suggest Binance, Coinbase, and Upbit could list Pi, while Valour Capital has launched a Pi Fund in Sweden and Swapfone (BTCC) secured a U.S. listing. Pi also partnered with Onramp Money, expanding access to over 60 countries.
BlockDAG Presale Builds Strength Through Shipments and Battles
While BONK and Pi fight to regain momentum, BlockDAG has shifted focus from hype to delivery. Its Deployment Event in Singapore, hosted with Coinstore, highlights independence after stepping away from Token2049 restrictions. Instead of sharing the stage, BlockDAG has chosen to lead it, using the event to declare readiness for global scaling and to showcase its live ecosystem.
Central to this phase is the Batch 30 presale price of $0.0013, locked for the final 30 days before deployment. This flat rate replaces confusing bonus tiers, ensuring fairness for all participants. With $396 million raised, BlockDAG stands out as one of 2025’s strongest presales.
The project’s utility is visible. BlockDAG’s X10, X30, and X100 miners are already being delivered to 130+ countries, with capacity scaling up to 2,000 units weekly. Alongside that, the X1 mobile miner app now boasts over 3 million users, each mining 20 BDAG daily. The community is equally robust with 312,000+ unique coin holders, and growing.
Adding a gamified twist, Buyer Battles distribute unsold daily allocations to the largest buyer, ensuring engagement and excitement until launch. Combined with whale activity,single buys of $4.4M and $3.6M rocking the leaderboard, BlockDAG isn’t just raising funds; it’s building a movement. The message is loud: this is not a speculative token but an ecosystem alive before exchanges go live.
Summing Up!
The comparison between BONK, Pi Coin, and BlockDAG highlights a clear divide. BONK has secured major partnerships but continues to disappoint on price performance. Pi Coin struggles in a falling channel, with traders hesitant until stronger support levels are confirmed. Both projects remain speculative, with futures dependent on investor patience and external catalysts.
BlockDAG, on the other hand, is already delivering. With $396 million raised, a fair $0.0013 deployment price, and miners shipping worldwide to 130+ countries, it has transformed presale promises into working infrastructure. The Deployment Event and Buyer Battles keep the community engaged, while a growing base of 312,000+ holders and millions of X1 miners solidify its foundation.
In a market filled with uncertainty, BlockDAG has achieved what others have not, proof before launch. Investors aren’t just waiting for potential, they are joining a network that is already alive, global, and scaling daily.
