Japan’s government bond yields have hit record highs, with the 30-year yield rising to 3.38% this week, a level not seen since the 1990s. At first, the number looks small, but it can shake global money flow in a big way. With the crypto market already weak, many fear this move from Japan could trigger …

What to Know: Bitcoin Hyper aims to turn Bitcoin into a fast, smart-contract-ready Layer 2 using SVM, canonical bridging, and ZK-secured rollups. The $HYPER presale has raised over $28.16M at roughly $0.013305 per token, with strong whale entries and active retail demand. Stakers can lock $HYPER for around 41% APY, with over a billion tokens already committed, aligning early holders with long-term network growth. Price models suggest multi-X potential if the roadmap lands, but competition, delivery risk, and market shocks make $HYPER a high-risk, high-reward bet. Bitcoin is at $92K now, but it doesn’t exactly feel like victory lap season. Price action is choppy, majors are flashing double-digit red, and on-chain data keeps reminding everyone that the original crypto is still slow, expensive, and allergic to smart contracts. Bitcoin processes around seven transactions per second, fees spike whenever activity returns, and most of DeFi, NFTs, and on-chain experimentation still lives on faster networks like Solana. That leaves a strange gap: the most valuable asset in crypto is mostly sidelined from the high-growth side of Web3. That gap is exactly what new Bitcoin Layer-2 projects are trying to close. Among them, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) has quietly pushed its presale past $28M at ~$0.013305/token, just as the market shifts back from panic to cautious dip-buying. Multiple market roundups now place it in the micro-cap, infrastructure-narrative bucket that speculators scan when they hunt the next 1000x crypto. Bitcoin Hyper’s pitch is simple but aggressive: turn Bitcoin into a high-throughput, smart-contract-ready Layer 2 while keeping Bitcoin-grade security. Under the hood, that means a Solana-style virtual machine, a canonical bridge for wrapped $BTC, and a rollup design secured with zero-knowledge proofs. Early investors have already staked over a billion $HYPER for yields around 41% APY, and whale buys in the hundreds of thousands of dollars ($500K just 6 days ago) suggest larger players are at least testing the waters. With the presale now past the $28M mark, the obvious question is whether Bitcoin Hyper is just another cycle narrative… or a serious contender for the next breakout Layer-2 play. Bitcoin Hyper Turns Bitcoin Into A DeFi-Capable Layer 2 At its core, Bitcoin Hyper is a rollup-style Layer-2 built specifically for Bitcoin. Users send $BTC to a monitored address on the main chain; an SVM-based smart contract verifies the deposit and mints an equivalent amount of $BTC on the Hyper network. Once bridged, that wrapped $BTC moves on a high-throughput chain with near-instant finality and sub-cent fees. Instead of forcing Bitcoin itself to run complex logic, Bitcoin Hyper batches transactions off-chain and periodically commits state back to Layer 1 using zero-knowledge proofs. That keeps the heavy security properties where they belong while shifting day-to-day activity to a faster execution layer. In practice, it lets Bitcoin behave like a settlement engine while Bitcoin Hyper handles payments, trading, and app activity. The Solana Virtual Machine is a key part of that design. By leaning on SVM tooling, Bitcoin Hyper lets developers deploy DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, games, and order-book DEXs with a familiar stack. Rust devs who already know Solana don’t need to relearn everything just to build on a Bitcoin-settled rollup. That cuts friction and gives the project a realistic path to a working ecosystem instead of a ghost chain. For anyone who wants exposure tied to Bitcoin and access to DeFi yields, NFT rails, and meme coin experiments, a $BTC-anchored Layer-2 like this is a clean narrative. If that thesis plays out and Bitcoin Hyper actually ships at scale, $HYPER stops being just a meme-wrapped token and starts looking like the core asset of a new Bitcoin DeFi stack. ???? Read more about what Bitcoin Hyper is planning in our guide. Bitcoin Hyper Breaks $28M, Whales Continue Buying Stacks On the numbers side, $HYPER has already raised over $28M, placing $HYPER firmly in the early micro-cap bracket. The current stage price is $0.013305, up roughly 15% from the initial $0.0115, with fresh funding still flowing in despite broader market volatility. Presale buyers can also stake their tokens for 41% APY now, but this will drop as more people stake tokens. On the upside math, our Bitcoin Hyper price prediction outlines a 2026 high around $0.08625, assuming the roadmap is delivered and liquidity lands on major exchanges. From today’s presale price of $0.013305, that implies roughly a 6.5x to the 2026 high if everything clicks. Longer term, $HYPER could push a 2030 high near $0.253, which would be a 20x-plus move versus early presale levels. ???? Here’s how to buy $HYPER before it hits $30M. This is exactly type of asymmetric setup presale hunters look for. A Bitcoin-settled rollup with audited contracts, a live staking program, and more than $28M already committed has a very different risk profile from pure meme plays with no tech. Some analysts are already tagging $HYPER as a potential high-beta proxy on Bitcoin’s evolution, and in a market obsessed with the next 1000x crypto narrative, that combination of real infrastructure and early-stage pricing is why it keeps popping up on watchlists.

A new projection from an XRP analyst is drawing fresh attention to how quickly spot ETFs could gobble up available tokens if heavy inflows persist. Related Reading: With 42% Of XRP Holders Underwater, Analysts Say The Altcoin Could Crash Even Further The numbers in the model are simple and large, and they force a straightforward question: what happens if steady ETF buying meets a limited public supply? ETF Flows Could Outrun Supply According to analyst Chad Steingraber, one XRP ETF might average $90 million in daily inflows. Multiplying that by 12 ETFs and the result is $1.08 billion each day. Based on his assumptions, if half of those flows create fresh demand for XRP, issuers would need to buy about $504 million worth — roughly 229 million XRP — in a single day. One Day Billion ETF Flow Scenario (assume current price) Single Fund Day Avg – $90Million x12 Funds Avg – $1.08Billion Day 50% Avg Net Share Creation – $504Million Required Acquisition – 229,090,909 XRP —> 1 Day For fun — what if one week: x5 Days – 1,145,454,545 XRP What if… https://t.co/wpdDD1q7bn — Chad Steingraber (@ChadSteingraber) November 19, 2025 Stretch that pace for a week and the total climbs to 1.14 billion XRP. A month pushes it to 4.58 billion XRP. After six months, the model reaches 27.49 billion XRP, which is nearly half of the roughly 60 billion XRP currently in circulation. According to the projection, a full year at those levels could theoretically absorb the entire public supply unless prices move higher and slow purchases. Early Fund Flows Show Demand But Not A Shock Reports show Canary Capital’s XRPC ETF opened with $245 million in day-one inflows, followed by $25.41 million and $8.32 million on the next two days, bringing the fund to $277 million in assets. Franklin Templeton’s EZRP is scheduled to launch on November 24 and market estimates put first-day demand between $150–$250 million. Five other issuers — Bitwise, Grayscale, 21Shares, Valkyrie, and CoinShares — are waiting in line. Community math that assumes seven ETFs has produced a $7.2 billion annual inflow figure. That is a lot of money. But, so far, the market reaction has been muted rather than explosive. Related Reading: The Final Dip? Bitcoin’s Days Under $90K May Be Over According to analysts, fund purchases don’t hit public exchanges right away. Trades settle on a certain cycle, and many issuers buy XRP over-the-counter. As a result, large amounts could be accumulated quietly before they show up in exchange order books or pressure the spot price. $XRP Lost the previous breakout level. Looks headed back to $1.50 area. pic.twitter.com/8VskyzrPXk — Nebraskangooner (@Nebraskangooner) November 17, 2025 Price Dynamics And Technical Risks XRP’s price has not marched upward in lockstep with ETF headlines. The token has hovered near $2.14 and slipped more than 14% since last week. Technical voices in the market are warning about downside. Analyst Nebraskangooner points to a failed breakout from a descending triangle and sets a target near $1.50 — roughly a 30% drop from a recent $2.15 trading level. The chart argument traces a rally to a yearly high of $3.66 in July, a late-October attempt to break higher, and a subsequent break below support around $2.2.

The drop in crypto-related stocks coincided with a broader crypto market pullback, with bitcoin currently trading at $91,795.
Nearly two years after the inception of the Bitcoin ETF sector in the United States, these funds are currently grappling with significant challenges, exacerbated by mounting concerns regarding a potential bear market in the coming months. This turmoil is exemplified by the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), which experienced its largest single-day withdrawal since launch, further contributing to the decline in Bitcoin’s price. Profit-Taking And Caution The recent outflows from BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF highlight the severity of the current selloff within the Bitcoin market, which has experienced a substantial correction below the crucial $100,000 mark following a record high reached in October. Related Reading: Kraken Achieves $20 Billion Valuation With $200 Million Investment From Citadel This downturn emphasizes the widespread pullback affecting various risk assets, while gold has notably remained resilient. Some analysts suggest that these developments indicate a trend of investors shifting their exposure from Bitcoin to gold. “The crypto market entered a hangover in August,” said Thomas Perfumo, Global Economist at Kraken, in a recent interview with Reuters, noting that much of the earlier demand for Bitcoin had been fueled by borrowed funds. He added, “Momentum seemingly peaked during the summer. But the truth is this hangover trend started months ago.” Analysts have also pointed to profit-taking behaviors among long-term holders and increasing caution among Bitcoin ETF funds and digital asset treasury (DAT) firms, which had previously ramped up their acquisitions throughout the year. Brian Vieten, a research analyst at Siebert Financial, stated that Bitcoin treasury companies had collectively purchased nearly $50 billion worth of Bitcoin over the past year. Recently, however, many of these firms have begun trading at a discount to their net asset value, which could dampen market expectations for new Bitcoin purchases in the near term. Bitcoin ETF Inflows Plummet This shift occurs amid rising concerns among heavyweight investors regarding inflated valuations across various asset classes. José Torres, a senior economist at Interactive Brokers, noted that “an ongoing lack of speculative spirits is weighing on Bitcoin.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Dips Below $90,000—Yet Altcoins Remain Unscathed: Here’s Why Despite managing over $73 billion in assets, IBIT has seen a decline of 19% in the current quarter. Data from SoSoValue indicates that spot Bitcoin ETF funds collectively have recorded $2.59 billion in outflows this month alone. Leading the pack is BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, which has experienced $1.78 billion in outflows in November alone. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) ranks second, with nearly $540 million in outflows. The turbulence isn’t limited to Bitcoin; the Ethereum exchange-traded fund sector also faced outflows, totaling approximately $74.2 million yesterday, with BlackRock selling off $165.1 million. On a more positive note, Solana spot ETFs reported net inflows of $30.09 million on Tuesday, primarily driven by Bitwise’s BSOL. This marks a major streak of 15 consecutive days of inflows for Solana. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

The native token of the crypto exchange WhiteBIT (WBT) is leading the mid-week altcoin market after a significant 20% surge over the past 24 hours. This performance follows the announcement of a key partnership with Durrah AlFodah Holding to promote the growth of blockchain technology in Saudi Arabia. Related Reading: Solana Reclaims $140 As Second Wave Of SOL ETFs Debut – Is A Rebound Coming? WhiteBIT Secures Strategic Collab In Saudi Arabia On Tuesday, top crypto exchange WhiteBIT unveiled it had signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Durrah AlFodah Holding, represented by His Royal Highness Prince Naif Bin Abdullah Bin Saud Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, aiming to drive the Kingdom’s development in blockchain technology, digital finance, and data infrastructure. According to the announcement, the partnership aligns with the strategic pillars of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 program, which seeks to foster economic diversification, technological innovation, and digital transformation across the Kingdom’s public and private sectors. Therefore, it will set the foundation for key projects within the Kingdom, including stock market tokenization, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) guidance, and the creation of national data computing and mining centers. Under the agreement, WhiteBIT will provide technological expertise and infrastructure design, while Durrah AlFodah will facilitate the crypto exchange’s market entry, regulatory engagement, and partnership development across Saudi Arabia. The move follows the exchange’s expansion to multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, Croatia, Italy, and Kazakhstan, as well as its recent dual entry into the Argentine and Brazilian markets, after key regulatory advancements in the two largest countries in South America. The collaboration reportedly envisions the creation of a joint venture company between WhiteBIT and Durrah AlFodah to manage and scale its national-scale initiatives. Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group, the global fintech ecosystem that includes WhiteBIT, affirmed: It is an honor to work alongside the Holding of His Royal Highness Prince Naif Bin Abdullah Bin Saud to build the foundations of Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation. Together, we aim to establish secure and sovereign blockchain systems that will shape the Kingdom’s technological future. WBT Leads Mid-Week Altcoin Market Following the news, WhiteBIT’s WBT token jumped from the $51 level to a new all-time high (ATH) of $62.96 before stabilizing between the $60-$61 area. This performance builds on the remarkable WBT’s price action during the recent market volatility, which has seen many leading cryptocurrencies reach multi-month lows. Notably, the altcoin rallied to new highs in late June and consolidated within its $40-$47 range during the broader market rally between July and October. However, as the market entered a corrective phase in early November, WBT went against the current and broke out of its local range, hitting a new ATH at the time. Related Reading: Analyst Shares Worst-Case Scenario For Bitcoin (BTC) As Price Shows Concerning Signs Since then, the altcoin traded between the $50-$55 area, retesting the local range lows on Tuesday morning before the latest breakout to its new ATH. According to CoinGecko data, this performance crowns WBT as one of the leading cryptocurrencies in the past 24 hours, alongside Zcash (ZEC) and Starknet (STRK). Moreover, the altcoin, which ranks 13th among all cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, is currently the only token with double-digit gains among the top 20 cryptocurrencies. As of this writing, WBT is trading at $60.62, a 9.8% increase for the altcoin in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Cameron and his brother Tyler have long compared Bitcoin to modern gold and have suggested it could one day reach $1 million, a view that frames the current pullback as a buy window rather than a lasting setback. Some industry leaders echoed that view, calling the fall a chance for long-term buyers to accumulate. This is the last time you’ll ever be able to buy bitcoin below $90k! — Cameron Winklevoss (@cameron) November 18, 2025 October Shock Still Echoes Bitcoin’s recent slide followed a new high of $126,200 on October 6, 2025, and heavy liquidations four days later that erased close to $20 billion in leveraged positions. Analysts tracking market cycles say this pullback fits a common pattern after the April 2024 halving, with major peaks often arriving 400–600 days afterward. Reports from The Kobeissi Letter suggest much of the current weakness looks like a routine unwinding of margin positions rather than a collapse in underlying demand.

Markus Thielen of 10X Research said large holders have been buying while absorbing selling pressure. Some of the buying activity has been quietly taking place, and it is being watched closely by analysts.
