BlockDAG News: Cardano Executive Claim Returns With A Raffle
BlockDAG News Today: Cardano Executive Claim, Raffle Tiers, Real Price
BlockDAG News today brings two updates in one day. It says a former Cardano leader is joining its team. The company calls this the first of many new hires. The same post also brings back a $3 million USDT tied to buys. It shared both updates on its official X account on August 19, 2026.
What BlockDAG Posted Today
The first post says a "former Cardano executive" has joined BlockDAG. It calls this "only the first major name." It says more names will come "over the next few weeks" as part of a bigger leadership reveal.
The post does not name this person. It gives no past title. It gives no start date.
The second post brings back the $3 million USDT raffle. It runs for 7 days. It is listed at $0.0000017 in both posts. It calls this a direct buy, with no bonus codes. The raffle push also ties into BlockDAG's ongoing presale, which It has run in stages since 2024.

This Claim Has Been Made Before
It has covered this same line before. A similar Update named a new Lead Project Manager as a former Cardano executive. That was around January 2025. A second post used the same claim again in November 2025, naming no one directly.
It is not clear if today's hire is the same person as before. Today's post gives no name. So there is no way to check yet. This claim is unconfirmed. Wait for them to name the person and their past Cardano role before you treat this as confirmed news.
