PANews reported on November 6th, citing Cointelegraph, that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will launch two initiatives to help countries adopt blockchain technology. Robert Pasicko, head of its fintech team, AltFinLab, stated that the UNDP plans to establish blockchain education programs for government officials and set up an advisory body. The new academy will be operational "within weeks," and four national governments will be selected for collaboration, with formal approval expected within one or two weeks. He pointed out that training is only one part of the initiative; the organization will further promote its implementation through project development. Research shows that there are 300 potential use cases for governments willing to adopt blockchain technology. At the UN General Assembly in New York, 25 top blockchain companies (including the Ethereum Foundation, the Stellar Foundation, and Polygon Labs) discussed the idea of establishing a blockchain advisory group led by the UNDP. Pasicko stated that if all goes well, the project could launch within two to three months. Furthermore, the UNDP has already launched pilot projects in 20 countries, with its partner Decaf, a cryptocurrency payment system that helps individuals access financial services without going through banks.PANews reported on November 6th, citing Cointelegraph, that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will launch two initiatives to help countries adopt blockchain technology.

IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge!
The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground?

While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
