AAVE news has centered on Horizon, a new platform that bridges real-world assets, such as tokenized Treasuries, with stablecoin borrowing. Institutions can now unlock liquidity without selling long-term holdings, reflecting Aave’s push to merge DeFi with traditional markets.
At the same time, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) price pattern has drawn attention with its first 2025 golden cross. The last golden cross delivered an 85% rally, and SHIB, now at $0.00001249 with a $7.36B market cap, could see a short-term move toward $0.000023 if history repeats.
However, BlockDAG has raised $395M, sold 25.8B coins, and attracted whales holding over $10M. With a presale price of $0.03 in Batch 30 and projections toward $1, BlockDAG offers more than 76,820% potential upside. Its ecosystem already includes 3M X1 users, 19,600 miners, and 200,000 holders, making it one of the most established presale networks before launch.
Aave’s Horizon Brings Real-World Assets Into DeFi Lending
Aave Labs has launched Horizon, a new borrowing platform that lets institutions secure stablecoin loans using real-world assets such as tokenized U.S. Treasurys and collateralized debt. This marks a key step in connecting traditional finance with decentralized markets, offering 24/7 access to liquidity while maintaining compliance.
Businesses can now borrow stablecoins like USDC, GHO, and Ripple’s RLUSD without selling long-term holdings, unlocking funds tied to traditional assets. The move comes as tokenization of real estate, bonds, and funds gains traction, giving Aave a stronger role in this trend. AAVE has risen 12% in the past week, trading near $327. For investors, Horizon highlights Aave’s strategy to capture institutional demand, reinforcing its position in the growing DeFi lending sector.
Shiba Inu Golden Cross Signals Possible 85% Price Surge
Shiba Inu has formed its first golden cross of 2025 on the daily chart, where the 50-day moving average moved above the 200-day. This marks a bullish signal that previously delivered strong gains. The last daily golden cross occurred in November 2024, when SHIB rose from $0.000018 to $0.00003344, recording nearly an 85% rally within weeks.
At the time, SHIB trades at $0.00001249 with a market capitalization of $7.36 billion. After dropping for three sessions to a low of $0.00001183, the token rebounded. Technical levels show support at $0.000011 and further at $0.00001. If the current setup repeats last year’s pattern, Shiba Inu could aim for $0.000023 in the short term.
Whales Are Grabbing BlockDAG: Can Retail Keep Up Before $1?
BlockDAG’s presale has entered a new phase after two whales secured allocations of $4.4M and $4.3M, overtaking the long-standing $3.8M top wallet. This reshuffle means whale holdings in the presale now exceed $10M, reflecting growing institutional-scale participation. Such capital entry coincides with BlockDAG’s consistent fundraising success, having already raised $395M and sold 25.8 billion coins.
BDAG’s current price is $0.03 in batch 30, but the coin is being sold at $0.0013 for a limited time. The long-term outlook, however, extends far higher. If BlockDAG climbs to $1, current presale buyers would see gains of 76,820% from today’s entry. This projection is supported by adoption metrics that are rarely seen at the presale stage. The X1 mobile miner app has surpassed 3 million users, more than 19,600 ASIC miners have been sold, and over 200,000 holders already participate in the ecosystem.
BlockDAG’s hybrid model, combining DAG scalability with Proof-of-Work security, provides the foundation for its growth narrative. The entry of whales at this level suggests that confidence in both the architecture and adoption is solid. With presale progress tightening supply, BlockDAG continues to build momentum as one of the most significant Layer 1 launches in years.
BlockDAG Dominates the Conversation in 2025
The latest AAVE news underlines real progress in connecting institutional finance with blockchain, but its growth is measured. The Shiba Inu (SHIB) price pattern presents opportunities for traders, yet it depends on technical signals that may not sustain long-term strength.
By contrast, BlockDAG has established adoption before the mainnet. Its hybrid DAG plus Proof-of-Work architecture combines scalability with security, drawing whales who committed $4.4M and $4.3M in individual allocations.
With $395M already raised and a presale price of $0.03 offering a clear path to $1, the upside is unmatched. Supported by millions of users, thousands of miners, and a growing community, BlockDAG outpaces rivals not just in fundraising but in readiness.
