Shiba Inu’s Volume Soars, Hedera Hits $8B Cap, Yet BlockDAG’s Keynote 3 Unleashes the Real Crypto Blueprint

Blockdag Keynote 3
Hedera and Shiba Inu have both carved distinct paths since their launches, showing how technology and community can drive growth in different ways. Hedera leans on enterprise backing and a unique consensus model, while Shiba Inu thrives on meme-fueled momentum and grassroots support.

But BlockDAG is approaching things differently. By focusing on education through its Academy and growing from within via its Ambassador Program, it’s equipping users to become long-term contributors. In a space often driven by speculation, BlockDAG’s ecosystem growth feels like a shift in how sustainability is defined.

Hedera Hashgraph: From Inception to 2025 Performance

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) was launched in 2018 as a public distributed ledger that utilizes a unique consensus mechanism known as hashgraph. This technology offers high throughput, fair ordering, and robust security, distinguishing it from traditional blockchain systems. Meanwhile, governance is maintained by the Hedera Governing Council, comprising major organizations such as Google, IBM, and Boeing, ensuring decentralized and responsible management.

At first, HBAR's price experienced volatility common to many cryptocurrencies. However, by late 2024, it had entered the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, peaking just under $0.40 in mid-January 2025. This surge was partly attributed to strategic partnerships, including a notable collaboration with SpaceX.

Currently, as of March 26, 2025, HBAR is trading at approximately $0.19, reflecting a 65.81% decrease from its all-time high but an impressive 1,873.79% increase from its lowest recorded price. In addition, market capitalization stands at around $8.2 billion, securing its position as the 19th largest cryptocurrency.

Shiba Inu: Evolution and Market Performance Up to 2025

Shiba Inu (SHIB) was introduced in 2020 as an experiment in decentralized, community-driven cryptocurrency. Operating on the Ethereum blockchain, SHIB quickly gained popularity, positioning itself as a "Dogecoin killer." Over time, the ecosystem expanded to include tokens like LEASH and BONE, and the decentralized exchange ShibaSwap, enhancing its utility and appeal.

In the beginning, SHIB's price saw exponential growth, with a remarkable 27,000% increase within weeks of its launch. However, like many meme coins, it experienced significant volatility. By contrast, by January 27, 2025, SHIB had undergone a price surge of over 300% within a single year, reflecting its dynamic market presence.

As of now, March 26, 2025, SHIB is trading at approximately $0.00002, with a market capitalization of around $12.94 billion. Notably, ShibaSwap recorded a 244% increase in trading volume over the past week, reaching $10.09 million. Furthermore, the total value locked (TVL) on ShibaSwap surged to $67.94 million, indicating growing user engagement and confidence in the platform.

BlockDAG Academy & Ambassador Program: Building Builders, Not Just Users

BlockDAG isn’t just onboarding users—it’s cultivating future developers and leaders through education and empowerment. The BlockDAG Academy and Ambassador Program have become cornerstones of its mission to create an ecosystem that grows from within.

Specifically, the Academy breaks down the barriers of blockchain education with a structured three-tier curriculum: Elementary introduces foundational concepts without the jargon, Intermediate teaches users how to engage with BlockDAG’s tools like smart contracts and staking, while the Advanced level dives into full-stack development and dApp deployment. Maurice Herlihy said it best during Keynote 3: “Our program goes beyond simply showing you which buttons to press—it provides you with the essential principles and insights needed to safely and confidently harness BlockDAG’s transformative potential.”

Meanwhile, alongside education, the Ambassador Program transforms active users into advocates. Participants are empowered to host events, educate their communities, and contribute directly to BlockDAG’s growth. As Steven Clarke-Martin noted, “Whether you’re an experienced blockchain developer or just getting started, these initiatives will support your journey.”

As a result, the results speak for themselves. With over $208 million raised, more than 18.9 billion coins sold, and the presale now in batch 27 at $0.0248, early supporters have already seen a 2,380% ROI from batch 1 pricing. This isn’t just capital—it’s a community being equipped with the knowledge and tools to build something lasting.

Beyond Hype: Building Value from the Ground Up

Looking at Hedera, Shiba Inu, and BlockDAG side by side reveals more than just different tech stacks—it shows different philosophies. Hedera relies on enterprise-grade structure, while Shiba Inu built a cult following through viral momentum. Both have delivered impressive gains to early investors, but their growth has often been shaped by external forces.

BlockDAG, on the other hand, is taking a slower but arguably stronger approach—developing its community into builders, not just holders. With over 750,000 engaged users and a growing developer base, it’s not just pushing adoption—it’s creating the people who will drive it forward.
