Chainlink Pulls Back, SUI Targets $3, But BlockDAG’s $209.5M Hardware Wave Puts it On Top

Keynote 3 Takes Over! Chainlink Retreats, SUI Builds Strength, But BlockDAG’s $209.5M Hardware Rollout Defines What’s Next

Chainlink has dropped to $14.75, leading to over $8 million in liquidations and pushing the token deeper into a bearish structure. While long-term accumulation is strong—especially among wallets holding over 438 million LINK—momentum depends on reclaiming $16 and breaking its downtrend. SUI, in contrast, is showing surprising resilience. Despite a Death Cross on the chart, Open Interest has surged to $825 million, and bullish pressure is mounting around $2.77. A break above this level could lead to a quick move past $3.

But amid price swings and chart signals, BlockDAG is taking a more concrete path forward. Its presale has raised over $209.5 million, and more than 16,600 mining devices have already been sold. With mainnet launch approaching, hardware distribution is bringing real decentralization to life. The result? BlockDAG is becoming one of the few projects building real infrastructure before going live.

Chainlink Price Dips, But Long-Term Confidence Builds

Chainlink recently dropped 6%, falling to $14.75 and triggering millions in liquidations. This dip deepened an ongoing downtrend, with the token forming consistent lower highs since early 2025. Analysts are watching the $13 zone as key support, while recovery will depend on breaking past $16 and flipping the 100 and 200-day SMAs.

Despite the decline, on-chain trends point to quiet optimism. Large wallets—those holding between 10,000 and 10 million LINK—have amassed over 438 million tokens, showing continued accumulation. In parallel, social engagement has picked up due to Chainlink’s growing presence in regulatory discussions, especially in the U.S.

While further downside is possible if broader markets soften, Chainlink’s fundamentals continue to support its longer-term potential in the space.

SUI Pushes Toward $3 as Market Confidence Grows

SUI is inching closer to a key breakout point, currently trading around $2.65 and testing resistance at $2.77. Despite a recent Death Cross—which typically suggests weakness—SUI’s market data is turning increasingly positive. Open Interest has jumped 50% in a week to $825 million, and a positive funding rate shows a majority of traders expect upward movement.

If the token breaks $2.77, there’s potential to hit $3.18 and start a new upward leg. The market’s reaction to this level could determine SUI’s next direction. A drop below $2.47 would renew pressure, but for now, momentum is leaning upward.

Strong support levels, rising participation, and excitement around new projects are keeping SUI in the spotlight as April unfolds.

BlockDAG’s Hardware-First Strategy Signals a Decentralized Future in Motion

In a bold step that sets it apart, BlockDAG announced during Keynote 3 that over 16,600 mining units—X30 and X100—have already been sold and are now being prepared for delivery. This hardware rollout represents more than just a milestone; it shows how serious the project is about building a distributed, high-performance network from day one.

The miners are tailored for BlockDAG’s DAG + Proof-of-Work model, supporting fast, secure block validation across a decentralized network. Unlike many platforms that start with centralization and shift later, BlockDAG is distributing infrastructure early—bringing true decentralization before its mainnet is even live.

The broader rollout strategy includes both physical and mobile reach. The X1 app has already drawn in over 800,000 users, while the Tap Miner has attracted 400,000+ signups. These touchpoints show that BlockDAG is gaining traction across audiences, from crypto users to mainstream participants.

Currently in Batch 27, BDAG is priced at $0.0248, with the presale surpassing $209.5 million and over 19 billion coins already sold. With hardware deployment underway and mainnet around the corner, BlockDAG is transforming its vision into a functioning, distributed reality—laying the foundation for a new kind of Layer 1 network.

To Wrap Up

Chainlink and SUI each bring their own momentum—driven by whale activity, regulatory moves, and short-term technicals. But their near-term performance still hinges on sentiment shifts and breakout triggers.

In contrast, BlockDAG is laying down a real foundation for the future. Its presale success, hardware rollout, and growing mobile user base point to an ecosystem being built with intention. By delivering devices before launch and focusing on decentralization from the ground up, it’s setting a new benchmark for what Layer 1 networks can achieve.

The $209.5M presale and strong user adoption are early signs of what’s coming. As more devices go live and the mainnet approaches, BlockDAG is shaping up to be more than a promising project—it’s becoming a working system designed to grow far beyond launch.
