With over $328 million raised, more than 23.3 billion BDAG coins sold, and two million users mining on the X1 app, BlockDAG is already having a record-setting year. But the latest announcement could mark its most significant turning point yet. This week, BlockDAG confirmed official partnerships with two prominent U.S. sports franchises — the Seattle Seawolves (two-time Major League Rugby champions) and the Seattle Orcas (a top Major League Cricket contender). These announcements don’t just signal a new marketing chapter for the Layer 1 network — they hint at what could soon be one of the largest crypto sponsorship deals in U.S. history. The final regulatory greenlight is pending, but sources close to the project say the deal is already locked. With the GLOBAL LAUNCH release set for August 11 and a massive 100 million BDAG token airdrop already underway, the project’s momentum is undeniable. Investors are rushing to secure BDAG at the fixed $0.0016 price before the countdown officially begins. From the Field to the Blockchain: What These Deals Mean for BlockDAG Sponsoring sports teams isn’t new in crypto — but few projects enter with the groundwork BlockDAG has laid. Rather than splashy, overpriced logo deals, these partnerships are part of a calculated U.S. expansion strategy. The Seattle Seawolves , known for their championship runs and loyal fanbase, bring BlockDAG into the American rugby scene — a sport with increasing digital crossover appeal. Meanwhile, the Seattle Orcas represent one of cricket’s fastest-growing U.S. franchises, tapping into a global audience with deep Web3 overlap. These aren’t isolated marketing stunts. They’re entry points into fan ecosystems primed for digital engagement — perfect for BlockDAG’s community-driven roadmap. With mining, airdrops, and testnet interactions at the center of the platform, onboarding millions of sports fans could mark a new user acquisition frontier. The $600 Million Target and a Record-Setting Presale While crypto prices oscillate, BlockDAG’s presale trajectory has been remarkably stable — and explosive. Already crossing the $328 million mark with over 200,000 BDAG holders , the project’s goal of hitting $600 million is no longer distant speculation. Part of that success stems from a deliberate rollout: X1 Miner App (now with over 2M users) introduced mobile-first mining 18,000+ ASIC miners sold, laying the groundwork for scalable rewards A testnet with active smart contract deployment and no-code dApp tools Strategic referral systems and “Buyer Battles” to gamify buying The ongoing airdrop campaign — allocating 100 million BDAG tokens — is amplifying this momentum. Participants can earn by testing the network, engaging socially, or referring others. Unlike most passive airdrops, BlockDAG’s campaign is tied to ecosystem participation, providing both traction and telemetry. The Sponsorship That Could Change the Game At the heart of this story lies something bigger. While the Seawolves and Orcas mark major wins, they’re also precursors to what the team is calling a “massive U.S. sponsorship deal” — one that’s already confirmed and only awaiting regulatory clearance. Though BlockDAG hasn’t revealed the name yet, internal posts suggest it could rival some of the largest crypto marketing campaigns to date. What sets this apart is timing and infrastructure. Projects like FTX entered the sponsorship game with unproven models and shaky backend support. BlockDAG, by contrast, is launching these deals alongside real ecosystem milestones: Mainnet deployment is part of the upcoming six-week rollout 40% of presale tokens will be airdropped to wallets during that window DeFi protocols, oracles, indexers, and DEX infrastructure will go live Users will be running nodes and mining pools before tokens hit exchanges In short, it’s not just branding — it’s branding that coincides with product activation. Why BDAG Is Booming Now Between the fixed presale price ($0.0016 until August 11 ), the surge in media exposure, and the expanding infrastructure, BDAG’s appeal as the “best crypto to buy now” is building fast. The project’s launch price is set at $0.05, meaning early buyers are looking at a potential 3,025% ROI — and that’s before any exchange-based speculation or price discovery. Institutional interest is quietly circling. The hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work structure appeals to developers frustrated by scalability bottlenecks. At the same time, the project’s CertiK audit, mobile-friendly UX, and no-code development tools make it retail-accessible in ways Layer 1 competitors like Kaspa and Avalanche haven’t been able to fully achieve. In crypto, most marketing ends with the announcement. For BlockDAG, these sports deals are only the beginning. With a proven presale engine, real tech traction, and a multi-layer launch strategy, this Layer 1 isn’t playing the game — it’s rewriting the playbook. And with the price fixed at $0.0016 until August 11, BlockDAG might be one of the last major projects offering this kind of access before launch. The only question now: will the rest of crypto catch up in time?
