Last week saw several updates in early-stage crypto presale and IDO activity. Several projects moved from presale into listing stages, shared new launch timelines, or revealed strategic partnerships. Below is a summary of key events involving five presale projects.
Solaxy (SOLX) Exchange Listings on LBank & BingX Ahead of Layer-2 Mainnet Launch
Solaxy, a Layer-2 blockchain built on Solana, rolled out its token on major exchanges as it nears a mainnet release. On July 3, 2025, the SOLX token was listed on LBank, followed by a listing on BingX on July 4. Since the beginning of July, SOLX has seen a rise in 24-hour cumulative volumes of over $5 million at peak across all traded exchanges, and a price gain of over 86%. The crypto project had previously closed a presale round, raising about $58 million.
Solaxy’s roadmap is moving into its product launch phase. The team is scheduled to activate Solaxy’s core network features on July 7, 2025, including the Layer-2 network mainnet, a cross-chain bridge, and a block explorer. Additional components such as a decentralized exchange (Neptoon) and a launchpad (Igniter) are planned for later in the month.
BlockDAG Network Secures Sports Sponsorships & iBeLink Partnership, Readies August 11 Launch
BlockDAG Network, a new Layer-1 blockchain using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure, announced new partnerships. The project became the official blockchain partner of two Seattle professional sports teams – the Seattle Seawolves (Major League Rugby) and the Seattle Orcas (Major League Cricket). These sponsorships include initiatives such as team NFTs, fan tokens, and digital collectibles.
Another announced partnership is with mining hardware company iBeLink, which is shipping custom BlockDAG ASIC miners (models X30 and X100) to early users. This hardware release allows community members to test and secure the BlockDAG network using dedicated devices.
BlockDAG has set August 11, 2025, as the date for its “Global Launch” release. According to the team, this phase begins the next stage of the roadmap and includes mass marketing efforts, miner shipments, deployment of utility apps, and exchange preparation. The current presale round is offering tokens at $0.0016. BlockDAG reports having raised over $330 million to date.
Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP) Sets July 31 Token Launch After $16M Presale and Exchange Listings
Bitcoin Pepe, a meme-inspired crypto project aiming to introduce a token standard and Layer-2 blockchain functionality to Bitcoin, announced that its BPEP token will launch on July 31, 2025. The project’s presale raised over $16 million. Bitcoin Pepe's goal is to allow meme coins and other assets to run on Bitcoin using the project's own infrastructure.
Exchange listings have been confirmed for both MEXC and BitMart. BitMart publicly announced its support on June 17. These exchanges are expected to list the token once the presale ends. The project states it aims to provide Layer-2 scalability with low transaction fees, leveraging Bitcoin’s base network.
BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL) Presale Concludes – Token Claim on July 7 at 2 PM UTC, Exchange Launch Pending
BTC Bull Token, a Bitcoin-themed meme coin that offers BTC-based rewards, is concluding its presale. The token claim for $BTCBULL is scheduled for July 7, 2025, at 14:00 UTC. Presale participants will be able to claim their BTCBULL tokens at that time, and exchange trading is also expected to begin, although the exchange name has not been announced yet.
The presale, originally set to end June 30, was extended by one week and has raised over $8 million. The presale token price is $0.002585 per token. The team announced a permanent burn of 35% of the total supply, leaving approximately 13.65 billion BTCBULL tokens in circulation. The token includes a mechanism that triggers BTC rewards when Bitcoin reaches specific price levels, such as $125,000 or $150,000. The project has submitted applications to exchanges and tracking platforms.
Qubetics (TICS) Debuts on MEXC & LBank with 950% Price Increase; Presale Tokens Locked Until July 30
Qubetics, a cryptocurrency project building a Layer-1 blockchain, with a focus on decentralized VPN services and Web3 tools, launched its token on centralized exchanges. On June 30, 2025, the $TICS token was listed on MEXC and LBank. Over 28,000 participants joined the presale, which raised over $18 million.
TICS opened at approximately $0.40 and reached an all-time high of $4.20 on MEXC, a 950% increase from the listing price. At the time of writing, the TICS token is trading between $1.70 and $2.00. Presale tokens are subject to a vesting schedule. Airdrops to presale buyers will begin on July 30, 2025, with 10% unlocked on that date, followed by 1% daily over 90 days. The listing occurred while all presale tokens remained locked, contributing to limited sell pressure during the launch.
