What to Know: A crypto whale recently invested $36K in Bitcoin Hyper, signaling strong confidence in the project’s growth potential. Bitcoin Hyper is the first true Bitcoin Layer 2 built to fix Bitcoin’s speed, scalability, and usability issues. Powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), it delivers sub-second transactions, low fees, and full cross-chain interoperability. $HYPER fuels the entire ecosystem, driving payments, staking, governance, and the next wave of Bitcoin-native innovation. When a crypto whale moves, the market listens. And this week, a $36K buy into Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) turned heads across the space. The token is still in presale, yet it has already raised over $24.4M, and whispers across X and Telegram are calling it ‘the Bitcoin upgrade everyone’s been waiting for.’ Bitcoin has been dominating the crypto world for 16 years, but its biggest weakness hasn’t changed: speed and scalability. It’s a digital goldmine, sure – but it’s also slow, expensive, and often overloaded. In a world where blockchains now handle thousands of transactions per second, Bitcoin still lumbers along at seven. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper comes in, aiming to turbocharge Bitcoin’s utility with a next-gen approach that blends speed, interoperability, and smart-contract support. The idea isn’t to compete with Bitcoin – it’s to make it faster, leaner, and ready for modern blockchain use. Think of it like installing a nitro engine in a classic car. Same machine, new power. The Problem: Bitcoin’s Speed Limits Are Holding It Back Bitcoin is the king of crypto, but it wasn’t built for the modern world. It’s safe, secure, and decentralized. But it’s also slow, rigid, and expensive to use when network activity spikes. Every time you send $BTC, you’re waiting minutes (sometimes hours) for confirmation. Fees can balloon when the network gets congested. And because Bitcoin doesn’t support advanced functions like smart contracts or DeFi applications, its use cases are limited. In short, Bitcoin is an old highway with too many cars. The traffic jams are constant, and there’s no room to expand the lanes. That’s why projects like Bitcoin Hyper are emerging – to make the Bitcoin ecosystem faster and more functional without abandoning what makes it strong in the first place. The Solution: Bitcoin Hyper Turns $BTC Into a Scalable Powerhouse Bitcoin Hyper’s idea is simple yet brilliant: create a layered ecosystem that enhances transaction throughput and enables smart functionality, while preserving Bitcoin’s core values of decentralization and security. It’s the first real Bitcoin Layer 2, not a sidechain or experimental bridge, but a full blockchain built to scale Bitcoin for the modern era. The Hyper Layer 2 transforms Bitcoin from a static store of value into a living ecosystem where transactions happen in milliseconds and gas fees cost almost nothing. With Bitcoin Hyper, users can finally enjoy fast, cheap payments that feel instant – sub-second transaction speeds and near-zero gas fees make it practical for real-world use. Built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) – one of the fastest blockchain technologies ever created – Bitcoin Hyper combines Bitcoin’s trust with Solana’s performance. That connection instantly opens the door to cross-chain interoperability, linking Bitcoin with networks like Ethereum and Solana from day one. Payments, trading, DeFi, meme coins, and dApps all run here, while Bitcoin remains the secure monetary base. Every part of the ecosystem runs on $HYPER, the native token that powers transactions, staking, and governance. Bitcoin Hyper gives Bitcoin what it’s always lacked – speed, flexibility, and culture, while keeping the original network’s security untouched. It’s how Bitcoin finally keeps up with the future of crypto. Why Investors Are Piling Into $HYPER Right now, you can buy $HYPER for just $0.013145. Early investors are eyeing serious upside potential. Bitcoin Hyper has already pulled in $24.4M, a staggering figure that places it among the best altcoins still in this presale. The logic is straightforward: if $HYPER truly boosts Bitcoin’s transaction efficiency, its value could skyrocket as adoption grows. And whales? They know timing is everything. That $36K buy wasn’t random – it’s a calculated bet that when the presale ends, Bitcoin Hyper could become one of the best crypto presales of 2025. This isn’t a meme coin that lives and dies by hype. It’s a project tackling one of crypto’s oldest technical headaches, backed by a tokenomics model that rewards early adopters and encourages long-term holding. Bitcoin changed money forever, but Bitcoin Hyper could change how it works. By solving the long-standing issues of speed, scalability, and utility, $HYPER positions itself as the bridge between the past and future of crypto.

Crypto analyst Captain Faibik has predicted that the Bitcoin price could crash to as low as $50,000, representing a 60% crash for the flagship crypto. The analyst explained why he has turned bearish on BTC, while declaring that the bull run is over. Why The Bitcoin Price Could Crash To $50,000 In an X post, Captain Faibik shared an accompanying chart which showed that the Bitcoin price could crash to $50,000 from its current level. This came as the analyst stated that he is turning bearish on BTC for the mid-term. He further remarked that the bull run is over and that now late buyers are getting trapped. Related Reading: Bitcoin Open Interest Hits Lowest Level In 2025, Is A Pump Or Crash Coming Next? Captain Faibik went on to note that the Bitcoin price is still moving inside the rising wedge, trading above the weekly MA50 while bulls remain in control for now. However, he warned that the structure is weakening and momentum is fading. Notably, the analyst had earlier mentioned a possible correction toward the $100,000 level, which remains a possibility with BTC trading close to this range. The Bitcoin price has continued to show signs of weakness since hitting a new all-time high (ATH) above $126,000 earlier in the month. Rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China have contributed to the recent declines in BTC. The flagship crypto again dropped yesterday after Trump threatened to impose a 155% tariff on China if they do not reach a trade deal by November 1. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also indicated that the Bitcoin price may be topping out. This came as the analyst revealed that a BTC monthly LMACD cross was happening. The analyst noted that historically, these crosses have marked the beginning of the bear phase or a major cycle top. However, he added that this is still not confirmed as the monthly candle hasn’t closed yet. The BTC Top Is Not Yet In Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto recently asserted that the cycle top is not yet in and that the Bitcoin price will reach $150,000 before the cycle is over. He explained that the rate of ascent should increase at an increasing rate into the final 5th subwave, which will make the blow off top. The analyst added that this implies that all impulses moving forward will be more aggressive than the ones prior. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Is Ready To Surge: ‘We Would Already Be Below $108,000 If The Crash Wasn’t Over’ CrediBULL Crypto further stated that the Bitcoin price is currently in subwave 2 of the final 5th wave after completing the impulsive subwave 1, which took it from $74,000 to $112,000. He predicted that subwave 2 should bottom between the current level and $74,000, which is the higher timeframe invalidation. Meanwhile, he explained that the measured move of the 1st subwave was $37,500. As such, a fair assumption is that the 3rd and 5th waves will be larger, which implies a minimum target of $150,000 for the Bitcoin price by the end of the cycle. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $107,600, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Elon Musk’s casual post about his dog sent shockwaves through meme-coin markets on Monday, with FLOKI jumping roughly 27% in minutes. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Goes Big — $255M Longs Opened Before Trump–China Summit According to reports, Musk posted “Flōki is back on the job as X CEO!” alongside an AI-made clip showing his Shiba Inu in a suit. The token’s price moved from about $0.0000657 to roughly $0.0000847, and some sources recorded intraday highs near $0.00009 after traders piled in. Musk Post Sparks Rally Based on market coverage, the move was quick and driven by social media momentum. Traders who watch meme tokens said the tweet and the short video triggered a buying wave that pushed prices up by about 20–29% depending on the exchange. Volume surged at the same time. The overall memecoin market cap rose nearly 6% to close to $64 billion as speculative bets picked up. Flōki is back on the job as ???? CEO! pic.twitter.com/Zu29Dos24r — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 20, 2025 Market Activity And Metrics Activity was heavy across spot and derivatives markets. Reports show derivatives volume spiked roughly 660% to $280 million while open interest climbed about 165% to $37 million. That kind of move suggests many traders were not only buying the token but also opening leveraged positions. Some exchanges flagged fast order flow and a quick rise in short-term trading volumes. Community Buzz And Immediate Reaction The Floki project has built a large online community that watches every mention of the name closely. Messages and posts amplified Musk’s share, and that amplification helped fuel the rapid price rise. But it wasn’t a universal buy signal; certain wallets moved to take profits during the rally. Based on on-chain snapshots, a number of large holders sold small slices as the price spiked. Derivatives Surge Raises Questions Analysts and market watchers warned that heavy derivatives activity can push prices both ways. When leverage flows into a small market, moves can be magnified. A rapid inflow of speculative money can lift prices fast, and it can also trigger sharp drops when traders unwind positions. Several analysts suggested that gains tied to a single social post are fragile without steady buying behind them.
