The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a wave of declines, leaving investors concerned as the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices fall sharply. Despite experiencing a period of recovery earlier this week, all three digital assets are now facing renewed downward pressure. The latest price declines are driven by both macroeconomic uncertainty and internal market factors, underscoring how sensitive the crypto market remains to changes in investor sentiment. FED Skepticism Fuel Decline In Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Dogecoin The recent decline in cryptocurrency prices comes amid growing doubts over the Federal Reserve’s (FED) approach to interest rates. Recent remarks from FED officials, including the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Neel Kashkari, have cast uncertainty on whether the central bank will deliver a third consecutive easing of policy during the December FOMC meeting. Related Reading: Why The Bitcoin Price Crash Is Important If Wave 5 Corrects To $94,000 According to Bloomberg reports, Kashkari noted that recent economic data suggested more resilience than was initially anticipated, sparking a debate over the necessity of further rate cuts. This cautious stance has unsettled financial markets, causing investors to reconsider earlier positions as former expectations of a rate now appear uncertain. Notably, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin have reacted sharply to the prevailing sentiment caused by the doubts in monetary easing. Their prices have plummeted, accelerating the broader correction that has been dragging on for months. This decline is also being augmented by large-scale whale sell offs and lingering ambiguity surrounding new developments in the previous US government shutdown. How Much BTC, ETH, And DOGE Declined This Week In addition to macroeconomic factors, market dynamics are also contributing to crypto losses. CoinMarketCap’s data shows that the Bitcoin price crashed below $97,000 for the first time since May 2025. It has fallen more than 5% over the week and dropped another 6.4% in a single day. Related Reading: Analysts Share Forecasts As Ethereum Price Struggles Below $4,000, And It’s Very Bearish Amidst this decline, long-term BTC holders are reportedly selling at record levels, fueling the downtrend. Additionally, institutional demand is weakening while investor sentiment has turned negative. Even Spot Bitcoin ETF activity is plummeting, recording over $866.7 million in net outflows yesterday—the second largest in its history. Ethereum has also been hit hard, losing more than 10% in the past 24 hours and over 5% this week. The price has steadily trended downward for weeks and shows no clear signs of recovery. At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $3,200, down more than 35% from the ATH levels above $4,950 set in August this year. Dogecoin, while only slightly affected by the broader bearish trend, is now trading at $0.165. It has fallen by approximately 2.3% during the week and by an additional 8% in one day. Collectively, these widespread declines suggest that the market may be experiencing a period of extreme stress, as all three cryptocurrencies have recorded double-digit monthly losses.

What to Know: A single $HYPER purchase of $502.6K added credible whale validation to a late-stage presale narrative. Bitcoin Hyper aims to deliver SVM-level throughput while settling to Bitcoin, targeting fast, low-fee $BTC transactions and usable DeFi rails. The $HYPER presale raised over $27.5M so far with a token price of $0.013275 and a staking reward of 42%. Based on $HYPER’s current price, investing now could reward you with an ROI of 572% or 1,805% by 2026 and 2030 respectively. Big money keeps circling fresh Bitcoin infrastructure plays. This week, a single on-chain purchase worth roughly half a million dollars in $HYPER lit up whale trackers, throwing a spotlight on Bitcoin Hyper’s ($HYPER) layer-2 pitch just as its presale enters the final stretch. The buy-in arrived at a moment when Bitcoin scaling narratives are driving capital flows across Layer-2s and sidechains. Faster settlement, cheaper fees, more programmable rails for $BTC – that’s where the puck is going, and that’s the lane Bitcoin Hyper wants to own. Bitcoin Hyper positions itself as a Bitcoin Layer-2 built around a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) execution layer, bridging $BTC into a high-throughput environment while committing its state back to Bitcoin for security. The promise is simple: near-instant $BTC transactions and a workable home for Bitcoin-centric DeFi and apps without abandoning Bitcoin’s base-layer assurances. That combination – speed from an SVM stack, settlement discipline from Bitcoin – is the core of the project’s pitch. The momentum is already there, even without whales adding more fuel to the fire. Fresh capital validates the story, adds perceived scarcity pressure, and sets a reference point for what deep-pocketed traders are willing to risk ahead of a first listing. ➡️ Read more about this innovative project with 1000x potential in our detailed Bitcoin Hyper review. SVM-Powered Bitcoin Layer-2 Targeting Real Throughput Under the hood, Bitcoin Hyper’s ($HYPER) design will funnel $BTC through a canonical bridge, mint an equivalent value on its Layer-2, process transactions in an SVM environment for high throughput, and then commit proofs back to Bitcoin’s Layer-1. The intent is to preserve Bitcoin-grade security while overcoming Layer-1 bottlenecks. The Hyper roadmap references sequencing research, zero-knowledge proofs, and periodic state commitments – the right ingredients for a Layer-2 that wants to run payments, order books, and staking without grinding to a halt. For developers, the SVM angle taps an ecosystem that already understands performant, parallelized runtime patterns. For users, the value prop is faster finality and lower fees while still settling to Bitcoin. Utility is the point here. If the bridge and execution stack work as described, Bitcoin Hyper can become the place where $BTC actually moves at app speed. That creates room for payments, market venues, and on-chain tools tied directly to the asset people already hold. The upshot for presale buyers is straightforward: useful block space tends to find demand, and demand is what sustains fees and token utility. Presale Success as it Draws to a Close Presales are about price, runway, and conviction. The Bitcoin Hyper presale has already cleared $27.5M+, with a current token price of $0.013275 and staking rewards set at 42% for early participants. Our $0.08925 price prediction for $HYPER suggests a potential ROI of 572% if the hype momentum holds. By 2030, following a successful implementation, $HYPER could get to $0.253, for a return rate of 1,805% based on today’s price. ➡️ Read our guide to buying $HYPER if you’re thinking of buying in. On signals, whale activity is setting the tone. Yesterday’s whale transaction saw 155.62 $ETH routed through the presale contract, with distributions to multiple recipient addresses and an associated $HYPER transfer of 36.86M tokens. ???? Historical cost accounting at the execution time puts the gross outlay at $502.6K – massive enough to register, spot on the ‘half a million’ mark to move sentiment. In presales, that matters. It tells mid-sized buyers the order book isn’t only retail. On runway, the presale’s $27.5M+ haul and 42% staking rewards set a clear incentive for early participants while the network spins up. If the staking mechanism draws sufficient lock-in ahead of TGE, it softens the initial float and can stabilize early price action if listings open with typical volatility. Couple that with the SVM narrative and the broader hunt for Bitcoin-centric block space, and you get a presale with enough story, enough numbers, and now, enough whale interest to justify a closer look before the window shuts. It’s no wonder that, in terms of numbers and community support, Hyper already qualifies as one of the best crypto presales of 2025. Bitcoin Hyper is eyeing a Q4 2025/Q1 2026 release window, so there’s not much time left to join the presale. Plus the presale price goes up in stages, while the staking APY lowers as more holders join the pool. ???? Don’t delay – buy your $HYPER today. Disclaimer: This isn’t financial advice. Always do your own research before making any investment. Authored by Aaron Walker, NewsBTC – https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin-hyper-whale-buy-1000x-potential-presale-near-finish
As the latest US government shutdown ends and markets refocus on macro plumbing, Raoul Pal has sketched out a strikingly liquidity-heavy roadmap on X – one that, in his framework, has direct implications for crypto. “So now the US Gov has reopened, what’s next?” Pal asks. He immediately points to the Treasury General Account (TGA): “Expect a few days for TGA spending to begin to significantly add to liquidity and should persist for several months.Obviously, QT ends in Dec and the balance sheet will crawl higher. We should see the dollar begin to weaken again.” Mechanically, TGA drawdowns push cash back into bank reserves and money markets, reversing the reserve drain that built up while the government was partially shut. At the same time, the Federal Reserve has already confirmed that quantitative tightening (QT) will end on December 1, 2025, shifting from active balance-sheet reduction to full reinvestment of maturing Treasuries and a more “maintenance” stance. When Will Crypto Prices Rise Again? Pal’s point is that both channels tilt the system toward more dollars sloshing through funding markets, a backdrop he has long argued is constructive for risk assets, including crypto. The near-term risk, in his view, is a classic year-end funding squeeze. “The next key step is to avoid a Year End funding squeeze. Expect several ‘temporary’ measures to add liquidity. Term Funding and SRF operations are most likely.” Related Reading: SEC Chair Sets Out Plans For Crypto Taxonomy To Define Digital Asset Classification Here he is referring to term repo or funding facilities and the Standing Repo Facility (SRF), which the Fed can scale up to backstop banks’ access to cash if overnight rates spike. That reading aligns with recent Fed communication that elevated SRF usage and tighter money-market conditions were central reasons for ending QT early. Pal then escalates from tactical tools to structural regulation: “That will eventually morph into the desperately needed changes to the SLR to allow banks to absorb more issuance and re-lever their balance sheets. This is a big liquidity bazooka. Expect in Q1. SLR should lower rates as banks buy more bonds.” The Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) caps large banks’ overall balance-sheet size, regardless of asset risk. Loosening it for Treasuries and reserves has been debated for years as a way to let dealers warehouse more government debt without breaching constraints. If regulators move in that direction, it would, as Pal notes, free capacity for banks to buy more bonds and could exert downward pressure on yields—again easing financial conditions. Related Reading: The 2025 Year-End Crypto Outlook: The Catalysts That Will Decide Everything For crypto, that matters indirectly: Pal’s core macro thesis is that improving liquidity and lower real yields are the primary tailwinds for digital assets. Regulation is explicitly on his radar too: “Also expect CLARITY Act for crypto to begin to get finalized.” The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (“CLARITY Act”) has already passed the US House and is now before the Senate. It would define digital asset categories and divide oversight between the CFTC and SEC, replacing much of the current “regulation by enforcement” model. Pal’s remark signals his expectation that the shutdown’s end clears the way for renewed legislative momentum – a key piece of the institutional puzzle for non-bitcoin crypto. He closes by broadening the lens to global and fiscal policy: “There will also be stimulus payments and the Big Beautiful Bill fiscal goosing. China will continue balance sheet expansion. Europe will add fiscal stimulus or extra spending. The debts must be rolled and the Gov wants to super heat the economy into the Mid-Terms. This is the Liquidity Flood…. the spice must flow.” Taken together, Pal is describing a synchronised regime: post-shutdown TGA spending, the end of QT, potential SLR relief, progressing US crypto legislation, and ongoing fiscal and monetary support in China and Europe. For crypto investors who share his liquidity-centric lens, the message is not subtle: the macro “spice,” in his view, is about to flow again. At press time, the total crypto market cap dropped to $3.24 trillion. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
