BlockDAG News Today: What the BDUSD Stablecoin Beta Actually Does
BlockDAG has opened a beta test for BDUSD, a new stablecoin that runs on its mainnet. The project announced the launch by official X account, asking the community to test the system and pointing users to a new BDAG purchase price of $0.00002 per coin.
This is the biggest News update since the project's aftersale dashboard settled at the same $0.00002 price level earlier this week, following the Keynote 6 pricing changes on August 14.
BDUSD Beta Opens For Community Testing
BlockDAG's post calls this the shift from "ownership into real mainnet utility." The beta is live now at the official BlockDAG Website, and the project is asking holders to try five specific actions: Add native collateral, Mint BDUSD to a connected wallet, Pay network gas fees in BDAG, Use inside supported flows, Verify activity on-chain through the platform. BlockDAG has not said how long the testing window will run or when a full, non-beta version might follow.
How The Collateral And Mint Flow Works
BDUSD is described on its own stablecoin page as a synthetic dollar asset backed by collateral, not a stored-value token or bank deposit. Users lock collateral in a vault, then mint against their available limit.
Repaying burns the debt and unlocks the original BDAG. All of these actions are wallet-signed, meaning the platform itself cannot move a user's BDAG token without that signature, according to published details.
New BDAG Priced At $0.00002, No Bonus Codes
Alongside the BDUSD test, It is selling new BlockDAG directly, with no bonus codes attached this time. The listed tiers are:
$100 buys 5 million BDAG
$500 buys 25 million BDAG
$1,000 buys 50 million BDAG
$5,000 buys 250 million BDAG
This $0.00002 figure matches the aftersale price BlockDAG News Today covered earlier this week, so today's stablecoin push does not appear to change the token's current entry price.
Beta Limits: Reserve Target And Debt Ceiling
BlockDAG's stablecoin page lists specific caps for this test phase. The beta is configured against a $50,000 reserve target and a 25,000 BDUSD debt ceiling, held at 200% collateralization.
Those numbers suggest a small, controlled test rather than a full public rollout, and they come directly from its own platform rather than an outside tracker.
No Redemption Guarantee For BDUSD Holders
BlockDAG's terms are direct about what it is not. It is not USDT, not USDC, not e-money, and not a deposit or claim on fiat reserves, per the project's stablecoin disclosures.
No party promises $1 redemption or conversion into USDT or fiat currency during this beta. It can also change in price, and the project warns that positions can become unsafe and face liquidation.
BDAG Token Beyond The Stablecoin Beta
Outside of BDUSD, the BlockDAG token already trades on multiple exchanges listing on the project's own site, Coinstore, Pionex, LBank, BTSE, BTCC, and Biconomy. A dedicated BlockDAG Exchange is still marked as coming soon on the platform.
BlockDAG also runs a live staking product and points to a Super Explorer tool for checking on-chain activity, which ties directly into the new verification step.
BDUSD Timeline Still Unconfirmed
BlockDAG has not published a date for when beta testing ends or when mint and collateral limits might expand. The crypto project's own dashboard and stablecoin page remain the most direct source for any changes to reserve caps or debt ceilings.
Anyone following this News update should watch the stablecoin.blockdag.network page directly for beta status changes, since it has adjusted pricing and terms multiple times this month without an advance notice period.
