BlockDAG has postponed its exchange listings again, pushing the launch of the BDAG token to March 4, 2026.
The new date surfaced during an investor AMA, where CEO Nic van den Bergh presented a revised exchange rollout plan. No prior public announcement or communication had been given to investors.
On the original expected listing date, February 16, the team posted on X that “Exchange Listings DONE.” The wording suggests the milestone had been completed, while also leaving room to frame February 16 as a paperwork milestone rather than the actual trading launch, even though investors had been expecting the BDAG token to go live.
The message appeared to refer to internal preparations or listing paperwork rather than the actual exchange launch.
This is the latest in a series of BlockDAG timeline shifts tied to the presale, mining rollout, and exchange launch.
New BlockDAG Exchange Listings Timeline Shows Multi-Stage Rollout Across 20 Platforms
In the AMA, the team introduced a staged exchange listing strategy.
The plan includes 20 exchanges in total, comprising 18 centralized exchanges (CEX) and 2 decentralized exchanges (DEX).
The rollout spreads across several weeks rather than a single launch event. According to prior publications, the planned liquidity for exchanges is $32 million.

History of Missed Deadlines and Presale Milestones
This is not the first time BlockDAG investors have seen a project deadline move.
The presale itself continued even after several countdown timers suggested the sale was about to end. After those timers expired, the sale remained open, and later phases were offered at lower prices.
At the end of January, a sponsored article promoted the presale as “ending in hours.” But the presale did not end, and later the BDAG token price was reduced by more than half.
In June 2025, BlockDAG published a 6-week launch plan, suggesting the launch was approaching. However, 8 months later, the project is still not listed on any exchange.
On May 11, the BlockDAG team announced on its X account:
“🔥FINAL 48 HOURS — BDAG @ $0.0019! Exchange Announcement Incoming + Presale ENDING!🔥
The countdown is real. THIS. IS. NOT. A. DRILL. 😱”
But the countdown expired, and the presale didn’t end after 48 hours. Instead, the BDAG token price changed to $0.0020 and later dropped to $0.0018.
These repeated changes to deadlines and pricing form the background to the latest exchange listing delay.
Questions about timelines and internal decision-making have surfaced before. Earlier this year, a former BlockDAG employee publicly described internal issues around presale handling, fund access, and project management, adding another layer to concerns surrounding the launch process.
