US President Donald Trump has addressed the controversial pardon recently granted to Binance’s co-founder and former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, denying any links to the crypto tycoon and allegations of potential corruption.

US President Addresses Binance’s Founder Pardon

In a recent CBS News 60 Minutes interview, President Trump defended his decision to pardon Binance’s co-founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, which faced major backlash from multiple members of the US Congress.

On October 23, the White House revealed Trump had pardoned Zhao, two years after pleading guilty, affirming that the US President “exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency.”

CBS News correspondent Norah O’Donnell asked the US President about the reasons behind his decision to pardon the former CEO of Binance, who pleaded guilty to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) violations in 2023 while leading the crypto exchange.

Trump explained that he doesn’t know who Zhao personally or who he is, but heard that his case was part of the Biden administration’s “witch hunt” against the crypto industry and was “set up” and a “victim of weaponization” by the previous government, like him and many others.

This man was, in my opinion, from what I was told, this is, you know, a four-month sentence. But this man was treated really badly by the Biden administration. And he was given a jail term. He’s highly respected. He’s a very successful guy. They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That’s my opinion. I was told about it.

Trump ‘Not Concerned’ About Corruption Claims

Further detailing his reasoning, the US President affirmed that he knew “it may look bad,” but he had to “do the right thing” by pardoning Binance’s co-founder, later adding that he was “not concerned” about the appearance of corruption and play-for-play.

Notably, Democratic lawmakers have pressed multiple government officials, including the US Special Envoy for peace missions, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s former acting chairman, and the head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), about Trump’s crypto ventures and potential conflicts of interest.

Among the concerns, lawmakers have questioned a $2 billion deal between Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and the Emirati firm MGX, facilitated by Binance, alleging that the President has advertised a “staggering model for corruption” by using USD1 to finance business between “a foreign government-backed entity (MGX) and a foreign corporation that pleaded guilty to criminal violations of U.S. anti-money laundering and sanctions laws (Binance).”

When asked about the appearance of a potential play-for-play, Trump affirmed that he knew nothing about the deal because he is “too busy” and his sons oversee the family’s crypto ventures.

I can only tell you this. My sons are into it. I’m glad they are, because it’s probably a great industry, crypto. I think it’s good. You know, they’re running a business, they’re not in government. (…) My sons are involved in crypto much more than I– me. I– I know very little about it, other than one thing. It’s a huge industry. And if we’re not gonna be the head of it, China, Japan, or someplace else is. So I am behind it 100%.

The US President stated that he wants to “make crypto great for America” and doesn’t want another country to be the global leader of the industry, as “it’s a kind of an industry where basically you’re going to have number one and you’re not gonna have a number two.”

“Right now we’re number one by a long shot (…). The same way we’re number one with AI, we’re number one with crypto. And I wanna keep it that way,” he concluded.

Targeting the growing appetite among US investors for new cryptocurrency solutions, blockchain payments company Ripple announced the launch of its digital asset spot prime brokerage capabilities for the American market on Monday morning. 

This new offering allows US-based institutional clients to execute over-the-counter (OTC) spot transactions across a wide range of digital assets—including XRP and the firm’s dollar-pegged cryptocurrency RLUSD.

New Ripple Brokerage Services For US Institutions 

According to Ripple’s announcement, the launch follows the acquisition of Hidden Road. By merging its regulatory licenses with Hidden Road’s capabilities, Ripple has created Ripple Prime, which provides institutions with seamless access to foreign exchange (FX), digital assets, derivatives, swaps, and fixed income products. 

This acquisition is seen as a strategic move to facilitate the institutional adoption of digital assets, particularly in light of a more favorable regulatory environment under the recent Trump administration.

Moreover, RLUSD has gained regulatory compliance under the newly enacted stablecoin bill known as the GENIUS Act, which has been signed into law by President Trump earlier this year. 

This compliance is expected to enhance institutional trust and further integrate RLUSD into traditional financial operations. Michael Higgins, the International CEO of Ripple Prime, commented on the launch, stating: 

The introduction of OTC spot execution capabilities complements our existing suite of OTC and cleared derivatives services in digital assets and positions us to provide US institutions with a comprehensive offering to suit their trading strategies and needs. 

With this new feature, Ripple Prime’s US clients can now cross-margin their OTC spot transactions and holdings alongside their broader digital asset portfolios, including OTC swaps and Chicago-Mercantile Exchange (CME) futures and options.

In addition to these developments, Ripple is actively pursuing approval for its national bank charter license in the United States. This initiative places Ripple alongside other firms, such as Circle (CRCL), Coinbase (COIN), Sony Bank, Paxos, and Crypto.com (CRO).

Spot XRP ETFs Expected Soon

On the exchange-traded fund (ETF) front, market expert Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF Institute, has forecasted  on social media site X (previously Twitter) the launch of the first spot XRP ETFs within the next two weeks. 

This comes on the heels of a five-year litigation period between the SEC and Ripple, which concluded just three months ago. Geraci believes that the introduction of spot XRP ETFs could signify a major turning point, potentially marking the end of previous anti-crypto regulatory attitudes.

Notably, eight XRP ETFs have now been registered with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), indicating that these funds have entered DTCC’s operational pipeline and are actively being processed for potential trading. 

When writing, XRP trades at $2.41, representing a drop of 4.5% in the past 24 hours and over 8% in the weekly time frame.

Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters expects every transaction to one day run on blockchain, calling it a “complete rewiring” of global finance.

Standard Chartered CEO Believes Blockchain Will Host All Money Eventually

As reported by CNBC, Bill Winters talked about the future of finance and Hong Kong’s role in the global digital assets space at a Hong Kong FinTech Week panel on Monday. “Our belief, which I think is shared by the leadership of Hong Kong, is that pretty much all transactions will settle on blockchains eventually, and that all money will be digital,” said the Standard Chartered CEO.

The comment comes as there has been a push toward digital ledger tokenization around the world. Payments giant SWIFT, for example, is developing a blockchain-based ledger, as announced in September.

Tokenization of an asset creates a digital copy of it that can be traded on the blockchain. Last year, Hong Kong launched a project to test the application of tokenization in real-life business scenarios, with Standard Chartered as a participant.

Standard Chartered is a British bank that operates around the world, including Hong Kong. The institution, designated as a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), has been growing its presence in the digital assets space recently.

Earlier this year, the bank became the first of its stature to launch a spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading desk for institutional clients. It has also formed a joint venture with Animoca Brands and Hong Kong Telecom (HKT) to obtain a stablecoin license from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).

Stablecoins represent a prominent example of tokenization, acting as blockchain counterparts to fiat currencies. Standard Chartered is planning to launch an asset of this kind based on the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD).

The current tokenized assets may only be the beginning if the prediction from the bank’s CEO about all money eventually becoming digital is to go by. “Think about what that means: a complete rewiring of the financial system,” noted Winters.

Bitcoin Has Taken A 3% Hit During The Past Day

Bitcoin has kicked off the new week with another retrace as its price is back down to the $107,500 mark. The chart below shows how the cryptocurrency’s trend has looked recently.

Despite the recent bearish wave, however, Bitcoin is still outperforming in 2024 in terms of the spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows. As CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has pointed out in an X post, 2025 is ahead of 2024 in year-to-date inflows.

At this point last year, US Bitcoin spot ETFs registered around $22.5 billion in cumulative inflows. The same metric for 2025 is now sitting at $25.18 billion.

Iran’s power grid is under fresh strain as a large-scale boom in Bitcoin mining pushes regulators to hunt down illegal operations, according to statements from local energy officials and recent reports.

Cheap, subsidized electricity and covert hookups have turned parts of the country into a “paradise for illegal miners,” Akbar Hasan Beklou, CEO of the Tehran Province Electricity Distribution Company, said.

Illegal Bitcoin Mines Multiply

According to Beklou, about 427,000 active mining devices are running across Iran, and more than 95% of them operate without proper licenses. That scale of activity is estimated to draw roughly 1,400 megawatts of power round the clock.

These numbers, the officials said, have forced energy firms to step up enforcement and carry out raids in several provinces.

In Tehran Province alone, law enforcement shut down 104 illegal Bitcoin farms in a recent operation and seized between 1,400 and 1,465 machines.

Other statements from utility executives suggest that when cumulative seizures over multiple years are counted, the total may reach into the hundreds of thousands of machines.

Reports have also said that some operations are well hidden, tucked inside factories or connected through forged industrial meters.

Why It’s Happening

Cheap electricity is the main draw. Prices set well below market levels make mining more profitable, even when devices run non-stop. Sanctions and trade limits have also pushed some operators to treat crypto as a way to move value beyond standard banking channels.

Based on reports, both small groups and larger networks have set up rigs to tap into subsidized power supplies, and some farms use industrial connections that are meant for heavy industry.

Officials have described a mixed picture when it comes to enforcement: many illegal farms are being tracked down and dismantled, while other operations may enjoy protection or special access.

Analysts and local sources point to a few entities with ties to state-linked groups that appear to operate at a different scale, complicating uniform enforcement.

Illegal Bitcoin Mining: Crackdown Efforts And Public Pressure

The energy ministry and local utilities have promised more raids and new measures to trace illicit consumption. Rewards for tip-offs and a push to check industrial meters have been reported.

Still, the problem is large, and action has often followed spikes in blackouts or pressure on the grid rather than a steady, pre-planned effort.

Some experts warn that unless pricing and enforcement are adjusted, miners will keep trying to find workarounds. Devices can be moved quickly. They can be hidden in warehouses or hooked to meters that are not regularly checked. That mobility makes the job of regulators much harder.

Bitcoin is entering a decisive phase as the market faces renewed selling pressure and short-term sentiment turns cautious. After weeks of volatility and failed attempts to hold above key resistance zones, investors are now watching closely to see whether BTC can stabilize and defend support as macro and liquidity factors continue to shift. Yet beneath the surface, new on-chain data points to a strong foundation forming — one that may be quietly setting the stage for the next major leg higher.

According to fresh insights, Binance’s netflow data for October 2025 delivered one of the strongest bullish signals of this cycle. The exchange saw a record-breaking $7 billion net inflow, signaling a significant wave of capital preparing to enter the market. Even more importantly, the composition of this flow suggests a structurally bullish setup: the majority of incoming liquidity came from stablecoins, representing billions in sidelined buying power.

At the same time, both Bitcoin and Ethereum registered net outflows from Binance — a sign that long-term holders are withdrawing funds to self-custody rather than preparing to sell. This divergence between incoming liquidity and decreased sell-side supply is historically associated with early accumulation phases and heightened bullish potential. In other words, while price action appears uncertain, the underlying capital rotation suggests Bitcoin may be gearing up for a decisive move.

Stablecoin Surge + Bitcoin Outflows Create a Powder-Keg Setup for Next Move

According to new data shared by CryptoQuant, one of the most compelling trends in recent months has been the scale and composition of capital flows into Binance. Over the past 30 days, the exchange recorded a net inflow of more than $5 billion in Tether (USDT) and an additional $2 billion in USD Coin (USDC). This is not ordinary liquidity — it is pure “dry powder”, capital deliberately positioned on the sidelines and waiting for favorable entry points. Such aggressive stablecoin inflows historically precede major market expansions, signaling that deep liquidity is preparing to re-enter risk assets.

What makes this dynamic even more significant is that it is occurring alongside persistent outflows of crypto assets. Binance saw approximately $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and $500 million in Ethereum move off the platform in the same period — a classic hallmark of long-term accumulation. Investors withdrawing BTC and ETH to self-custody drastically reduces available sell-side supply, tightening the float and amplifying future price impact when demand accelerates.

The combination is powerful: surging dollar liquidity + shrinking exchange balances = bullish supply-demand imbalance building beneath the surface. Additionally, flows into the “Other Altcoins” category have picked up noticeably, hinting that capital is beginning to position beyond majors — often an early signal of increasing risk appetite and the initial stages of an altcoin rotation.

While price action remains choppy and sentiment cautious, this liquidity posture is historically aligned with pre-breakout market structure, not late-cycle exhaustion. Traders should watch closely for signs of stablecoin rotation into BTC and ETH; once that ignition point arrives, the resulting flow could mark the beginning of the market’s next major rally phase.

BTC Retests Key Support as Market Awaits Direction

Bitcoin continues to trade under pressure, currently hovering near the $107,000–$108,000 support zone after failing to reclaim the $110,000 level. The chart shows price struggling below the short- and medium-term moving averages, signaling weakening momentum in the near term. The repeated rejections near $117,500, a major resistance and former range high, reinforce this level as a critical battleground for bulls. Until BTC reclaims and holds above this threshold, upside conviction remains limited.

Price is also interacting with the 200-day moving average, which has acted as a dynamic support during this cycle. A confirmed breakdown below this moving average could open the door toward deeper liquidity pockets around $103,000–$105,000, where prior demand emerged during the post-October crash recovery.

Still, the structure has not decisively shifted bearish. Bitcoin remains within a broad consolidation range that began in late summer, and despite volatility, sellers have yet to break the market’s higher-timeframe structure. As long as BTC holds above the $100K–$105K region, bulls maintain a defensive position.

With macro catalysts in play and large capital inflows sitting on the sidelines, the coming sessions may determine whether this drawdown becomes a launchpad — or the market heads for another liquidity sweep before trending higher.

• Strategy hat seine Bitcoin Käufe stark reduziert und liegt auf dem niedrigsten Niveau seit Jahren.
• Der Grund dafür sind schwierige Marktbedingungen und weniger Geld, das über Aktien aufgenommen werden kann.
• Trotzdem deutet Michael Saylor immer wieder an, bald erneut groß einzukaufen.

Strategy gilt seit Jahren als das Unternehmen, das BTC am stärksten unterstützt und immer wieder große Mengen gekauft hat. Doch plötzlich stoppt der Konzern seinen rasanten Einkaufstakt und wirkt deutlich vorsichtiger. Viele Anleger fragen sich nun: Hat Strategy seine Meinung geändert – oder plant das Unternehmen im Hintergrund bereits den nächsten großen Schritt?

Strategy stoppt seine schnellen Bitcoin-Käufe

Strategy hat seine BTC-Käufe stark verlangsamt. Früher kaufte das Unternehmen manchmal zehntausende BTC in wenigen Tagen. Jetzt sind es nur noch etwa 200 BTC pro Woche. Das ist der niedrigste Wert seit 2020, also seit der Zeit, als Strategy überhaupt erst begann, Bitcoin regelmäßig zu kaufen. Die Veränderung ist deutlich und fällt Experten in der Branche sofort auf. Viele fragen sich, warum die aggressive Strategie plötzlich pausiert.

Trotzdem betont das Unternehmen weiterhin: BTC bleibt der wichtigste Teil der Finanzstrategie. Es handelt sich also nicht um einen Ausstieg oder einen Kurswechsel. Vielmehr geht es darum, die aktuelle Marktsituation genau zu beobachten. Das Ziel bleibt langfristig, Bitcoin als digitalen Wertspeicher zu halten — ähnlich wie andere Firmen früher Gold gehalten haben.

Warum Strategy aktuell vorsichtiger handelt

Der Grund für die Pause liegt nicht daran, dass Strategy nicht mehr an Bitcoin glaubt. Stattdessen sind die Finanzbedingungen schwieriger geworden. Normalerweise hat Strategy neue Aktien ausgegeben, um mit diesem Geld BTC zu kaufen. Doch der Preis der Strategy-Aktie ist deutlich gefallen — etwa 50 % unter dem Höchststand. Auch Bitcoin selbst liegt rund 16 % unter seinem Rekordpreis. Dadurch lohnt es sich aktuell weniger, neue Aktien zu verkaufen.

Les hier, wieso einige Experten bei BTC noch dieses Jahr eine Rally bis 250k sehen.

Zusätzlich ist der Preisaufschlag auf die Strategy-Aktien fast verschwunden. Früher lag er bei über 200 %, jetzt sind es nur noch rund 4 %. Das bedeutet: Strategy kann aktuell viel schlechter Geld über den Aktienmarkt bekommen. Die Folge: Das Unternehmen muss vorsichtiger sein und kann nicht mehr so schnell einkaufen wie zuvor. Es geht also nicht darum, BTC aufzugeben — sondern darum, die richtige Zeit abzuwarten.

Rückblick: Von Rekordkäufen zu einer Pause

In den vergangenen Jahren war Strategy berühmt für seine massiven Bitcoin-Investitionen. Das Unternehmen kaufte einmal 55.500 BTC in einer einzigen Woche — ein Rekord, der weltweit Schlagzeilen machte. Insgesamt besitzt Strategy heute mehr als 640.000 BTC. Das entspricht rund 3,2 % aller verfügbaren Bitcoin. Kein anderes Unternehmen hält so viele.

Dass Strategy nun fast zum alten, langsamen Kaufverhalten zurückkehrt, erinnert an die Anfangszeit der Strategie im Jahr 2020. Für viele Experten zeigt das eine Art „Ruhephase“ nach einer extrem schnellen Aufbaustrategie. Es ist typisch für Strategy, in Wellen zu kaufen — schnelle Phasen, gefolgt von Pausen. Diese Pause bedeutet also nicht automatisch, dass die Strategie vorbei ist.

Saylor deutet trotz Pause neue Käufe an

Michael Saylor, der Gründer und Vorsitzende von Strategy, bleibt weiterhin einer der größten BTC Fans weltweit. Er nutzt regelmäßig soziale Medien, um Nachrichten und Hinweise zu teilen. Kürzlich schrieb er erneut „Orange Dot Day“ — eine Botschaft, die er oft kurz vor neuen Käufen nutzt. Für viele Investoren ist das ein Alarmzeichen: Es könnte bald wieder losgehen.

Saylor wiederholt ständig: Bitcoin ist das beste langfristige Vermögensgut. Er betrachtet BTC als die Zukunft des Geldsystems. Auch wenn gerade nicht gekauft wird, klingt sein Ton unverändert optimistisch. Wer Saylor kennt, weiß: Er handelt häufig dann, wenn andere zögern.

Hier kommst du zu unserer detaillierten Prognose für Bitcoin.

Wie geht es jetzt weiter?

Es sieht so aus, als würde Strategy einfach auf den richtigen Moment warten. Sobald sich die Finanzmärkte wieder beruhigen und der Aktienpreis steigt, könnte das Unternehmen wieder aktiv BTC kaufen. Viele Beobachter rechnen damit, dass Strategy sogar noch größere Käufe vorbereiten könnte — gerade weil die Pause jetzt so auffällig ist.

Für Einsteiger bedeutet das: Strategy bleibt ein wichtiger Spieler im Markt. Das Unternehmen handelt nicht aus Panik, sondern nutzt Finanzzyklen. Der nächste große Schritt könnte Überraschungen bringen — und die Märkte erneut bewegen.

Bitcoin Hyper: Mehr Nutzen auf dem Fundament, das MicroStrategy stärkt

MicroStrategy ist heute der größte börsennotierte BTC-Holder der Welt und spielt eine wichtige Rolle dabei, BTC im globalen Finanzsystem zu verankern. Je mehr große Investoren BTC halten, desto deutlicher zeigt sich: BTC wird immer mehr zum digitalen Wertspeicher der Zukunft.

Genau hier setzt Hyper an. Während MicroStrategy BTC als strategisches Asset etabliert, erweitert Bitcoin Hyper dessen Möglichkeiten. Das Projekt nutzt die Sicherheit und Stabilität des Bitcoin-Netzwerks – kombiniert sie aber mit der hohen Geschwindigkeit, Skalierbarkeit und Programmierbarkeit von Solana.

So entsteht ein System, in dem BTC nicht nur gehalten werden kann, sondern auch aktiv nutzbar wird – etwa für schnelle Transaktionen, Yield-Modelle, dApps und moderne Finanzanwendungen. Bitcoin bleibt das sichere Fundament, BTC Hyper baut darauf eine leistungsfähige Nutzungsschicht.

Lies hier eine langfristige Prognose für Bitcoin Hyper!

$HYPER: Mit BTC wachsen – und darüber hinaus

Der $HYPER-Token ist das Herzstück dieser Erweiterung. Wenn institutionelles Interesse an Bitcoin weiter steigt – angefeuert durch Unternehmen wie MicroStrategy – wächst auch der Bedarf, Bitcoin effizient einsetzen zu können.

Genau dann zeigt Hyper seine Stärke: Die Robustheit von Bitcoin, kombiniert mit der Geschwindigkeit von Solana um BTC-Power in die Welt der modernen Blockchain-Anwendungen zu bringen

Kurz gesagt: BTC legt den Wert. Hyper entfaltet ihn.

Wer an den langfristigen Erfolg von Bitcoin glaubt, findet in $HYPER eine sinnvolle Ergänzung, um nicht nur am Wertwachstum, sondern auch an der aktiven Nutzung des Bitcoin-Ökosystems teilzuhaben.

Jetzt rechtzeitig einsteigen und $HYPER im Presale kaufen.

Ethereum (ETH) remains under notable bearish pressure, trading around $3,710 after dropping 4.5% in the past 24 hours.

The asset has struggled to maintain its uptrend, slipping below the $3,800 level and testing the critical $3,715 support zone. Analysts note that this level has been retested multiple times since October, serving as a key battleground between bullish and bearish sentiment.

Technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and MACD show weakening momentum, suggesting that sellers remain in control. A decisive close below $3,680 could expose ETH to deeper losses toward $3,550 or even $3,500.

However, a rebound from this level could allow buyers to target resistance zones near $3,920 and $4,000. Interestingly, despite the short-term bearish tone, Ethereum’s broader chart structure forms a falling wedge pattern, a setup often preceding a bullish reversal.

Ethereum (ETH) On-Chain Data Signals Accumulation Despite Downtrend

While technicals paint a cautious picture, on-chain activity reveals signs of underlying strength.

According to Glassnode and Sentora data, over $600 million worth of ETH has been withdrawn from exchanges in just one week. This mass exodus often signals accumulation, as investors move holdings to cold wallets for long-term storage.

Supporting this view, Ethereum’s MVRV ratio, a key valuation metric comparing market value to realized value, currently stands at 1.50, a level historically associated with market equilibrium before major uptrends.

Notably, staked Ethereum maintains an even higher MVRV of 1.7, suggesting that long-term holders are confident in ETH’s recovery. With 36.1 million ETH staked, representing nearly a third of total supply, the data highlights reduced selling pressure and growing network resilience.

Stablecoin Surge and Institutional Confidence Prepare for Rebound

Beyond price action, Ethereum’s ecosystem continues to expand. October saw a record $2.82 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume on the network, a 45% increase month-over-month, driven by yield farming and institutional liquidity management.

Analysts interpret this as a sign of capital rotation rather than market exit, with traders parking funds in stablecoins while awaiting favorable conditions to re-enter ETH positions.

Institutional inflows into Ethereum-based products have also topped $15 billion in 2025, reflecting steady confidence in Ethereum’s long-term role in decentralized finance (DeFi) and payments.

While short-term volatility may persist, these metrics suggest that Ethereum’s correction could be a temporary pause before a broader market reversal toward the $4,100–$4,200 range forecast by analysts.

17 years after the Bitcoin (BTC) whitepaper was released, the world’s first decentralized currency continues to dominate global headlines. On the anniversary of its whitepaper publication, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent used the occasion to highlight Bitcoin’s consistency and prosperity, suggesting that Senate Democrats could learn something from its reliability and history. His remarks linked BTC’s nearly uninterrupted record of network activity to the challenges seemingly faced by the Democrats.  

What Senate Democrats Could Learn From Bitcoin

In an X social media post on October 31, Bessent criticized Senate Democrats, suggesting that Bitcoin’s ability to remain functional through global crises and economic changes over the past 16 years shows a level of resilience that they could learn from. As a US republican, his comments came as the two major political parties continue to clash over federal budget issues, which have resulted in the ongoing government shutdown. 

Notably, October 31 also marks the anniversary of the publication of Bitcoin’s whitepaper. The whitepaper, authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of BTC, described a fully digital monetary system designed to run without central authorities or intermediaries. When the first Bitcoin block was mined in 2009, it officially launched the network, introducing a framework that has now become globally recognized, extending its reach across multiple sectors and countries. 

Bitcoin’s adoption since its launch has been nothing short of remarkable, with prominent industry leaders calling it a “store of value” and “digital gold.” Even Bessent has been a vocal advocate of the rapid advancement of the digital asset sector and the growth of BTC. In July, after US President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act, Bessent stated that stablecoins could be the key to propping up the US dollar. 

A month later, he said on X that Bitcoin forfeited to the Federal Government would be the foundation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve established by the President’s March Executive Order. He also stated that the US Treasury has since committed to identifying budget-neutral ways to acquire additional Bitcoin to expand the reserve and strengthen the country’s position in the digital asset economy. 

BTC Records 99.9% Uptime Since Launch

Recent data have underscored Bitcoin’s network performance over the past 16 years. Crypto Developer Abhinav reported that the blockchain has achieved a 99.9% uptime since its launch in 2009, with only two brief outages recorded over the past 16 years.

Related Reading: Here’s What Happened The Last Time The Bitcoin Price Closed October In The Red

Supporters have also highlighted this remarkable technical performance as evidence of BTC’s reliability and its role as the cornerstone of decentralized technology. Additionally, on-chain data shows that Bitcoin’s network hash rate, a measure of computational power, recently reached an all-time high of around 1.204 ZH/s.

Its current level of 1.202 ZH/s marks a 12.3% increase from the previous day and a 79% rise compared with one year ago. Over its 16-year history, BTC has also undergone four halving events, achieving a market value exceeding $2.1 trillion. On its anniversary, it traded above $110,000, after previously reaching an ATH of over $126,000 in October. 

Bitcoin is showing renewed fragility as price struggles to reclaim the $110,000 level, putting bulls on the defensive and exposing the market to further downside risk. Selling pressure has been building across the market, and BTC now finds itself probing lower demand zones as traders reassess positioning after recent volatility. While the macro backdrop remains broadly supportive, near-term sentiment has shifted toward caution as liquidity thins and speculative flows recede.

A key dynamic shaping this cycle is the absence of retail participation. According to top analyst Darkfost, retail investor activity — measured through small holder inflows to Binance — has fallen sharply. Since early 2023, just after the bear market ended, the 90-day moving average of shrimp inflows has dropped from roughly 552 BTC per day to just 92 BTC today. This more than five-fold decline marks one of the steepest drops in retail engagement ever seen in a Bitcoin recovery phase.

This structural shift underscores how different this cycle is from previous ones. With retail sitting on the sidelines, Bitcoin is being driven primarily by institutional flows, large holders, and long-term accumulation behavior. For bulls, the path forward likely hinges on whether new liquidity arrives — or whether current selling pressure pushes BTC into deeper support before the next leg higher can begin.

Spot ETFs Reshape Market Participation as Retail Fades

The decline in retail participation accelerated sharply with the launch of US spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024. Before ETFs went live, small holders were sending roughly 450 BTC per day to Binance. Since the ETF debut, that figure has collapsed to just 92 BTC per day, and the downtrend has continued. This shift marks a structural change in how retail interacts with Bitcoin and where liquidity enters the market.

Darkfost outlines three primary drivers behind this dramatic decline. First, a portion of the retail crowd migrated to ETFs, opting for the convenience and perceived security of regulated financial products over self-custody and traditional exchange activity. This naturally reduced on-chain inflows to Binance and similar platforms. Second, remaining retail investors have shifted behavior, choosing to hold long-term rather than trade, indicating stronger hands and a more disciplined class of small holders. Third, many early retail accumulators have simply graduated out of the shrimp cohort, now holding more than 0.1 BTC and no longer being counted in that data segment.

These dynamics reveal a profound evolution in Bitcoin’s market structure. The current cycle is being driven not by speculative retail surges but by institutional flows, emerging whales, corporate treasury strategies, and long-term accumulation addresses that rarely sell. As a result, Bitcoin’s supply is tightening at the margins even as price consolidates — creating a slow-burning but powerful supply-demand setup unlike previous cycles. The forces supporting Bitcoin today are more structurally resilient, but they also produce a market rhythm that is quieter, more methodical, and less euphoric than traditional retail-led bull runs.

Bitcoin Remains Trapped Below Key Moving Averages

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $107,250, holding above a key support zone after another rejection from resistance. The daily chart shows BTC struggling to regain momentum, with multiple attempts to reclaim the $110K–$112K band failing as sellers consistently step in around short-term resistance and moving average clusters. This area, highlighted on the chart, represents a critical liquidity and acceptance zone — until price breaks above it decisively, upside momentum will remain capped.

BTC is currently trading below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, a bearish short-term structure that points to continued market hesitation. The 200-day moving average sits slightly below current price and is acting as an important dynamic support. Losing that zone would open the door to a potential retest of the $104K–$105K region, where strong demand previously emerged during October’s flush.

On the upside, a clean break above $112K, followed by a reclaim of the $117,500 Point of Control, is required to reset bullish momentum and put the next leg higher back in play. For now, Bitcoin remains range-bound and cautious, with sellers defending overhead levels and buyers stepping in only at key supports. Volatility remains suppressed as the market waits for fresh catalysts and liquidity inflows.

In a progressive decision announced during Fintech Week 2025, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has unveiled a sweeping regulatory reform allowing licensed crypto exchanges to connect directly with global order books.

The move dismantles the city’s “ringfenced” model that previously restricted trading within its borders, enabling access to international capital and liquidity.

SFC Chief Executive Officer Julia Leung emphasized that the shift follows extensive work to ensure investor protection. “Once we are sure that we can protect investors, we do relax, as we did with global liquidity,” Leung stated.

The reform aligns Hong Kong’s digital asset framework with international financial standards, signaling the city’s ambition to reclaim its reputation as a leading fintech hub in Asia.

What it Means for Hong Kong’s Digital Asset Ecosystem

The SFC’s policy shift is part of a broader effort to modernize the region’s digital finance landscape. Over recent years, Hong Kong has launched a licensing regime for crypto exchanges, approved Bitcoin and Ether-linked exchange-traded products, and expanded oversight for digital asset funds.

In partnership, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is preparing to issue the first stablecoin licenses by next year, while regulators are crafting new frameworks for crypto dealers and custodians.

Additionally, the SFC has removed the 12-month trading history requirement for HKMA-approved tokens and stablecoins, a change expected to accelerate listings of new digital assets.

Industry observers view these developments as pivotal for attracting institutional players. Global firms like Binance and Coinbase could soon gain entry via brokerage licenses, faster and less restrictive than full exchange approvals.

Currently, 11 exchanges and 49 brokers operate under SFC oversight, a number expected to rise sharply under the new system.

Hong Kong’s Bid to Reclaim Market Relevance

This policy overhaul highlights Hong Kong’s determination to position itself as a global crypto hub amid fierce competition from jurisdictions like Singapore and the United States.

While mainland China continues to ban crypto trading, Hong Kong has opted for a regulated innovation model balancing market access with strict compliance.

Leung acknowledged the delicate balance regulators must strike: “Overly strict requirements risk driving liquidity and talent elsewhere, but too little oversight could undermine trust.”

Hong Kong’s new policies on global liquidity and tokenization mark a shift toward deeper integration with international crypto markets.

A new analysis shared by an XRP Researcher has highlighted a defining development that could dramatically change everything for Ripple investors. The revelation comes as the token steps into the institutional spotlight, with the REX-Osprey XRP ETF surpassing a $100 million milestone. According to the analyst, this development may be the strongest indication yet that Wall Street’s attention has shifted toward digital assets, driven by regulatory clarity and real-world utility. 

XRP ETF Surge Signal Major Shift For Ripple Investors

In a video analysis posted on X social media on Friday, October 30, crypto researcher and analyst ‘Ripple Bull Winkle’ revealed that a significant change is about to take place in the crypto industry. He announced that the REX-Osprey XRP ETF has already crossed $100 million in Assets Under Management (AUM) within a single month of its launch. According to him, this growth rate outpaces some of the earliest Spot Bitcoin ETFs by top asset managers. 

Ripple Bull Winkle pointed out that the recent surge in the fund is not driven by retail interest but by institutional investors that are quietly and strategically accumulating the cryptocurrency through regulated investment vehicles. He stated that this moment should be seen as the “blueprint” for crypto’s future, highlighting that REX Osprey has effectively made the token “institutional-grade” overnight. 

In his view, crypto ETFs deliver exactly what Wall Street has been waiting for: regulated access, clean custody, and a clear legal status. He believes that these qualities make the altcoin particularly attractive to institutional investors seeking crypto exposure without the chaos and regulatory uncertainty. 

Looking ahead, the analyst predicts that once XRP ETFs are rolled out, the market could experience a domino effect similar to what followed the approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETF in January 2024. During this bullish period, Ripple Bull Winkle expects the price to “shoot up and go to the moon,” potentially propelling the cryptocurrency into an entirely new phase of market recognition. 

The researcher noted that while pundits debate chart patterns and whether the market is in a bull or bear phase, institutions are rapidly accumulating crypto ETFs. He disclosed that around two dozen crypto ETFs are still waiting to hit the market once the US government reopens after its current shutdown. 

XRP ETFs Expected To Launch Within Two Weeks

Adding to the excitement, Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, said he expects the first Spot XRP ETFs to launch within the next two weeks. He pointed out that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officially ended its five-year-long lawsuit against Ripple just three months ago, marking a defining moment for the company and the token. 

Geraci explained that with the legal battle finally behind Ripple, the road is now clear for regulatory approval of Spot XRP ETFs. He also explained that this moment could mark the end of the “anti-crypto” regulators and policies that have slowed down progress in the US.

Despite the ongoing bearish action of the Solana price, there has been a significant rise in interest and adoption of the leading altcoin over the past few days. Interestingly, on-chain data shows that this renewed massive wave of investors’ interest and adoption is observed in the recently approved Solana Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).

Unprecedented Momentum Seen in Solana ETFs

Following its approval last week, the Solana ETFs are witnessing unprecedented growth, signaling a powerful wave of institutional interest in the funds. The spike in Solana ETF inflows demonstrates a significant change in market attitude.

With this growth, SOL is being positioned as a top candidate for institutional crypto investment in the future rather than merely an alternative. In the midst of this rising adoption, Bitwise’s SOL ETF, BSOL, has been recording substantial inflows since its inception. 

As demand for the Fund grows, Teddy Fusaro, the president of Bitwise Invest, has shed light on the development while revealing the main driver of the current wave of demand. Despite the magnitude of demand for the fund, the president claims that he was not surprised by the heightened interest from both retail and institutional investors.

Given the notable successful entry of the Bitcoin and Ethereum Spot ETFs, Fusaro is confident that SOL ETFs could attract a similar growth in the future. However, the president declared that Solana and its ETFs have a different narrative. This is due to its transparency in the crypto ecosystem and the ETF space.

As investors seek exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, SOL appears to be drawing significant interest from traditional finance due to its rapid adoption, substantial transaction volume, and expanding DeFi and NFT ecosystems. According to Fusaro, Solana has the solution to the scale and speed challenges that have been talked about for so long, making it the next major protocol after Ethereum that has this solution.

Since Solana was launched, the asset has experienced robust demand in the crypto space. Fusaro believes that this appetite and demand for SOL and its protocol are also observed in the SOL ETFs.

SOL Is Gaining Traction As Crypto’s Third Choice

The Solana community is buzzing with excitement after the approval of the SOL Spot ETFs. With its historical introduction and steady inflows, CryptoRus, a market expert, claims that the fund is becoming the third pillar of crypto ETFs. 

After witnessing a notable flow of capital, analysts now predict that the US SOL Spot ETFs may attract up to $5 billion in inflows in the next 2 years. When this happens, it will cement the altcoin alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum as one of crypto’s institutional cornerstones.

According to CryptoRus, the rollout is already looking strong, with Bitwise’s BSOL recording nearly $130 million in trading volume. In addition, Grayscale’s Solana Trust ETF, GSOL, attracted another $4 million on its first day. “It’s been a long climb from meme coin jokes to mainstream adoption, but Solana’s fundamentals – speed, scale, and uptime are finally lining up with institutional demand,” CryptoRus added.

Suppose even a small portion of the anticipated $5 billion is invested; in that case, SOL will not only be an Ethereum alternative, but also the third pillar supporting the upcoming wave of ETFs in cryptocurrency.

Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, has clarified that XRP’s core purpose is to give individuals direct control over their money. In a recent post on the social media platform X, Schwartz highlights how XRP is not intended to replace banks but rather facilitates the free movement of value without centralized control or intermediaries.

Ripple CTO Clarifies XRP’s Use

In the X post, David Schwartz explains that XRP aims to change how value moves. The digital asset allows individuals to act as their own bank by sending and receiving funds directly, without go-betweens taking a share, setting limits, or imposing additional controls. He notes that XRP’s self-sovereign model supports open, borderless, and inclusive financial systems.

Schwartz explains that XRP’s structure on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) endows it with a unique role in blockchain-based transactions. Unlike assets that depend on institutions or third parties, XRP operates as a neutral digital currency that functions independently of a counterparty, company, or government. This design allows the digital asset to move freely across jurisdictions without the risk of freezing, blocking, or reversal.

The Ripple CTO emphasizes that XRP’s utility lies in the financial freedom it provides, allowing anyone, anywhere, to send value instantly and securely. In contrast to traditional systems built on centralized permissions, he focuses on XRP as a solution that offers liberty and accessibility across digital and traditional financial systems. 

Schwartz suggests XRP could be an alternative path for digital settlement and cross-border value exchange, with a self-sovereign, interoperable future where value moves freely without control and limitations.

BankXRP Echoes XRP’s Self-Sovereign Future

Soon after Schwartz’s comments, a well-known community account, BankXRP, spotlighted his post, describing it as a summary of XRP’s core mission to remove third parties from the financial equation and give individuals complete control over their money. BankXRP emphasized that XRP is the foundation for a self-sovereign financial system in which transactions require no approval and cannot be frozen or reversed.

By amplifying Schwartz’s message, BankXRP strengthened the view that one of XRP’s strengths lies in its empowering nature, built to make value transfer as simple, transparent, and global as sending a message. The account outlined XRP’s decentralized future in which individuals depend not on institutions but on open, permissionless networks that grant them full ownership of their assets.

Their comments underline XRP’s position as a bridge asset that supports unrestricted value exchange across borders. Instead of replacing financial institutions, XRP removes the need for them, allowing money to move freely across the world. Schwartz’s remarks, supported by BankXRP’s interpretation, reaffirm that XRP’s core principle is to eliminate network gatekeepers from the value transfer process, offering individuals complete control over their assets without relying on banks, custodians, or permission-based systems.

Quick Facts:

• XRP is long overdue for a jump in value after institutional adoption
• The US’ previous anti-crypto stance has stopped XRP from reaching its true value
• However, several XRP ETFs are due for launch after the end of the US govt shutdown
• $XRP could be a 1000x crypto alongside $PEPENODE and $HYPER

XRP has spent years building anticipation, with many believing its blockchain could redefine global money transfers. Now, after a long wait, momentum is finally building. According to Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF Institute, the upcoming XRP ETFs could be the spark that finally sends $XRP soaring.

The SEC was expected to approve several XRP ETFs by the end of October, but the government shutdown has pushed these back. According to Nate’s post on X, the first XRP ETF launch is expected to occur within the next two weeks.

Ripple’s growth has been hindered in recent years by intense regulatory pressure and a prolonged legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Now, with Donald Trump’s pro-crypto administration signaling plans to position the United States as a global hub for digital asset innovation, Ripple could finally get the regulatory clarity it’s been waiting for.

In anticipation of the coming XRP ETFs, we’ve identified a few crypto coins we expect to explode as a result. Naturally, one of these is Ripple ($XRP) itself, but we’re also taking a look at PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) and Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). Let’s get into why we think these are the next 1000x cryptos.

1. PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) – The First Mine-To-Earn Meme Coin with Rewards For Top Players

PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) is recreating all of the fun of building your own crypto mining empire without any of the downsides. Forget about buying your own expensive server hardware and competing with real-world corporations – PEPENODE is bringing the virtual crypto mining experience on-chain.

PEPENODE is a crypto mining simulator that gives you your own customizable virtual server room, complete with nodes that generate $PEPENODE based on your hash rate. The more servers you purchase, the higher your hash rate climbs—and the greater your rewards.

The real strategy lies in how you spend your $PEPENODE. Since your server room has limited space, choosing which nodes to install becomes critical.

Premium servers offer higher efficiency and better hash rates, while specific node combinations can unlock significant performance boosts. Every choice counts, making PEPENODE as much a game of strategy as it is about mining.

The $PEPENODE token serves as the foundation for the game’s economy. If you want to refund your existing servers and cash out into $PEPENODE, you can do so at any time – whether you want to reinvest in more expensive servers or trade $PEPENODE out for other crypto.

You can get a head start before the game even launches by joining the official $PEPENODE presale. The project has already raised over $2 million, yet tokens are still available for just $0.0011317 each.

That’s already a bargain—but the real opportunity lies in $PEPENODE’s staking rewards. While the presale is live, any tokens you purchase can be staked for up to 631% annual rewards. It’s a dynamic presale, meaning the earlier you buy and stake, the higher your potential returns.

Join the PEPENODE project before the game goes live.

2. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Hypercharging the Bitcoin Network with a Layer-2 Solution

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is upgrading the aging Bitcoin network using a Layer-2 based on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) with zk-rollups. By integrating Solana into the network, Bitcoin Hyper should reduce the transaction fees you pay when trading $BTC – as well as introduce smart contract support to Bitcoin.

Compared to Ethereum and Solana, Bitcoin continues to struggle with slow transaction speeds and high fees. For most retail users and Web3 applications, it’s simply too costly to trade or build directly on Bitcoin’s base layer. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper steps in to change the game.

Powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Bitcoin Hyper introduces advanced parallel processing, allowing it to handle thousands of transactions per second. These transactions are processed on a temporary ledger and later committed back to Bitcoin’s Layer 1 during periods of low congestion, dramatically reducing fees while maintaining security.

But the real breakthrough lies in smart contract functionality. Bitcoin Hyper expands Bitcoin’s utility, enabling users to trade crypto pairs, send NFTs, and access DeFi, all while maintaining their Bitcoin holdings for long-term growth.

Bitcoin Hyper runs on $HYPER, the official utility token of the network. With it, you get:

• Reduced transaction fees when running smart contracts or trading crypto
• Voting rights on the Bitcoin DAO, where you can vote on the future of the network
• Access to exclusive features on some Bitcoin Hyper dApps, only open to $HYPER holders

That’s why the Bitcoin Hyper presale has already raised over $25.6M in token sales to date. It’s a dynamic presale, which is why the price of $HYPER has risen to $0.013215. However, you can buy in now and lock in presale staking rewards of up to 46%.

Get your $HYPER tokens today and join the future of the Bitcoin network.

3. Ripple ($XRP) – Low-Cost, Low-Latency Cross-Border Transactions for Financial Institutions

Ripple ($XRP) is the native cryptocurrency of the XRP ledger, a decentralized blockchain designed for fast and efficient settlement of payments. Initially created by Ripple Labs, $XRP serves as a bridge currency for financial institutions and businesses.

Ripple was created to revolutionize cross-border payments by offering near-instant settlement and ultra-low fees. Transactions on the Ripple network typically finalize within 3–5 seconds, making it dramatically faster than the traditional SWIFT system.

In conventional finance, international transfers are often slow and costly because banks depend on a web of correspondent institutions to process payments. This process can take several days and involve multiple layers of fees.

To make matters worse, banks must hold large reserves in various currencies to facilitate global transactions. Ripple’s use of $XRP as a bridge asset solves this problem by providing on-demand liquidity, allowing banks to process transfers instantly without tying up capital in multiple currency pairs. The result is faster, cheaper, and more efficient global finance.

$XRP fell from $2.80 to $2.30 during October’s flash crash but has since stabilized, trading steadily between $2.30 and $2.50.

Despite broader market uncertainty, institutional interest in XRP remains strong, driven by the anticipated launch of new XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs). With this growing adoption and renewed investor confidence, many analysts expect $XRP to see accelerated growth in the months ahead.

You can purchase $XRP through most CeX and DeXs.

Бывший президент США Барак Обама раскритиковал действующего президента Дональда Трампа за его личное участие в криптовалютном бизнесе.

Эксперты работающих в сфере кибербезопасности компаний PeckShield и Nansen сообщили, что недавняя атака на биржу Balancer стала возможной из-за уязвимости в смарт-контрактах, позволившей хакеру обойти контроль доступа к пулам ликвидности.

Key Takeaways:

• 1️⃣ Historically, November has been one of Bitcoin’s strongest months, with average gains exceeding 30% in bull years and previous cycles leading directly into new all-time highs.
• 2️⃣ Despite October’s 11% pullback, Bitcoin’s resilience — coupled with rising ETF inflows and treasury accumulation — has set the stage for a potentially explosive November rally.
• 3️⃣ Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) has surpassed $25.6M in its presale as it builds a Solana-powered Bitcoin Layer-2 designed for high-speed payments, tokenized assets, and DeFi applications.
• 4️⃣ Analysts predict that if Bitcoin’s bullish November pattern holds, $HYPER could surge over 1,400% by 2026 as investors seek scalable infrastructure plays tied to Bitcoin’s growth.

Bitcoin’s most bullish month might just be here again – and if history is any guide, November could be gearing up to push markets toward new all-time highs.

Here’s the recent Q4 performances for Bitcoin:

• 2020, up 168%
• 2021, up 5.45%
• 2022, down 14.75%
• 2023, up 56%
• 2024, up 47%
• 2025, ????

October wasn’t ideal; Bitcoin’s down 11% for the month, with a combination of the Fed’s rate hikes already priced-in, an ongoing US government shutdown, and general uncertainty robbing the token of much of its momentum.

At the same time, November has historically been the time when Bitcoin flips from steady accumulation to explosive growth. Could 2025 follow that same playbook – and will Bitcoin Hyper add fuel to the fire?

October Defied the Odds, But Set the Stage

Despite October’s reputation as Bitcoin’s most consistently green month, this year’s performance was more restrained. Yet Bitcoin still managed to touch new all-time highs in the final days of October, surprising everyone.

That kind of resilience, even in a ‘cooler’ month, suggests that the market’s underlying demand remains extremely strong. And with institutional inflows, ETF demand, and treasury accumulation pushing forward, November could easily ignite another leg higher.

Speaking of treasuries:

Moves like Saylor’s latest could help Bitcoin investors draw a line under October and use a fresh influx of liquidity to ride $BTC higher in November.

Why November Matters for Bitcoin Bulls

Data from Coinglass and other analytics platforms consistently show that November is one of the top-performing months for Bitcoin over the last decade.

• 2015: +18.3%
• 2017: +53.5% (pre-ATH run-up)
• 2020: +42.9% (led to $64K ATH in December)
• 2023: +8.2%
• 2024: +37.7%

Each of these Novembers came either immediately before or during major breakout phases for Bitcoin, a pattern that has now become a recurring theme across market cycles.

Investors are watching closely to see if this November could mark the next vertical move – potentially toward $140K or even $150K before year-end.

If that happens – or even if a milder surge occurs – this will put more attention on projects like Bitcoin Hyper, the red-hot Bitcoin Layer 2, set to launch sometime in Q4 2025/Q1 2026.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER): The Next-Level Bitcoin Layer-2 Play

As Bitcoin gains momentum, so do the projects building real scalability around it. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) captures that narrative perfectly.

The project, now having raised over $25.6M in its viral presale, aims to be the fastest Bitcoin Layer-2 network. It’s designed to handle payments, tokenized assets, and DeFi applications with lightning speed.

Where Bitcoin’s main chain focuses on security, Bitcoin Hyper focuses on performance. To achieve this, Hyper utilizes a Bitcoin Canonical Bridge on the Solana Virtual Machine to wrap Bitcoin and mint it on the Hyper Layer 2.

The bridge will allow wrapped $BTC to trade on Solana’s native speeds of several thousand TPS, enabling near-zero-fee transactions.

From Bitcoin’s Momentum to $HYPER’s Growth Loop

Every historical Bitcoin surge has triggered explosive growth across the crypto ecosystem, and this cycle is unlikely to be different.

Just as Ethereum’s 2020 rally created massive value for Layer-2 tokens like Polygon and Arbitrum, Bitcoin’s November breakout could push $HYPER into the spotlight as traders and institutions look for the next infrastructure play.

That’s because Bitcoin Hyper provides solutions for the specific issues that plague Bitcoin – slow transaction speeds, congestion, and low throughput – and which prevent it from being the high-speed, seamless payments network it was initially meant to be.

This is why we predict $HYPER could go from $0.013215 to $0.20 by the end of 2026. That’s 1,413% returns for anyone who joins the presale now. Discover how to purchase $HYPER with our guide and learn why crypto whales have invested hundreds of thousands in the presale.

Visit the Bitcoin Hyper presale page for the most up-to-date information.

Bitcoin has already proven that it can make history in November; history shows that a new all-time high could be closer than most expect.

Bitcoin Hyper could emerge as one of the biggest beneficiaries of a bullish November, a Layer-2 primed to capture value from the very asset that started it all.
