Bitcoin distribution via miners takes a step back, Japan lowers Bitcoin taxes, 
Cameron Winklevoss believes in a 10x Bitcoin, while $BTC’s profitability hits 
historic highs. These are just some of the recent developments in the crypto 
world and we’ll discuss all of them. The first to touch on is Bitcoin’s 
profitability retesting a historical point after reaching a 92% threshold in 
Supply in Profit. This matters because, every time Bitcoin pushed above 90%, a 
bull rune followed. And the same thing is likely to happen now, as Bitcoin 
stagnates between $114K and $116K. An October bull run would push Bitcoin 
Hyper ($HYPER) up the charts faster than ever. The presale is already at $16M, 
showcasing sustained investor confidence in the project’s future as one of the 
best altcoins of 2025. Will the New Bitcoin Season Start in October? All 
evidence points to a rich October. The most recent news crosses the Pacific 
from Japan, where the government decided to cut Bitcoin taxes by more than 
half. According to Coin Bureau, Japan slashed Bitcoin taxes from 55% to 20% 
for 2026, which spells good news for the Asian crypto markets. Especially in 
the context of Metaplanet increasing its Bitcoin treasury, currently at 20,136 
$BTC, and leading by example. But it’s the US taking the helm, with Strategy 
leading the pro-Bitcoin movement. The company holds the largest Bitcoin 
treasury in the world with 638,460 $BTC, valued at over $74B, and keeps buying 
regularly. Pair this with the Bitcoin miners&#8217; shift to HODLing, which 
increases the asset’s scarcity, and we can see where this is going. The 
Winklevoss twins, the co-founders of Gemini, believe it’s going to a 10X 
Bitcoin. The two said they see Bitcoin as ‘Gold 2.0’ and that it can easily 
reach $1M per coin in 10-years time. This comes just as Gemini hit Nasdaq last 
Friday, with $28 per share, after raising over $425M during its IPO. The 
conclusion is almost self-explanatory: Bitcoin will see a fiery end of the 
year, especially with Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) targeting a Q4 release. How 
Bitcoin Hyper’s $16M Presale Will Contribute to Bitcoin’s Success Bitcoin 
Hyper ($HYPER) is set to accelerate Bitcoin’s success by fixing one of the 
network’s most pressing issues: its capped performance. Bitcoin is currently 
limited at 7 transactions per second (3 right now), which is responsible for 
several problems, like slow and expensive transactions, no scalability, and a 
fee-based priority system, causing small transactions to sometimes experience 
hours-long finality times. Bitcoin Hyper changes that with the help of tools 
like the Canonical Bridge and the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The Canonical 
Bridge connects Hyper to the Bitcoin ecosystem and relies on the Bitcoin Relay 
Program to confirm incoming transactions. The Bridge then mints the tokens 
into the Hyper layer, allowing investors to use them within the Hyper 
ecosystem or withdraw them to the Bitcoin network whenever necessary. Together 
with SVM, which delivers the ultra-fast execution of smart contracts and DeFi 
apps, the Canonical Bridge turns Hyper into a fast-performing ecosystem that 
upgrades Bitcoin to modern standards. The presale is now at over $16M, with 
Hyper sitting at $0.012925. Based on the project’s utility and scope, we 
expect $HYPER to experience widespread adoption shortly after launch. Our 
price prediction for $HYPER is $0.025 by the end of 2025 and $0.25 by the end 
of 2030. This translates into a 10-year ROI of 1,834%. With the community 
behind it, $HYPER could very well defy these predictions and go even higher. 
If you want to invest, read our guide on how to buy $HYPER and get your tokens 
while they’re still at presale price. Remember, this isn’t financial advice.

Bitcoin is trading at a critical level after a quiet weekend, with bulls 
managing to defend key supports but struggling to generate fresh upside 
momentum. The market remains tense as investors await the US Federal Reserve’s 
interest rate decision scheduled for this Wednesday. A potential 25-basis- 
point cut is widely anticipated, which many see as a sign of a gradual pivot 
rather than an aggressive measure. Such a move could spark optimism across 
risk assets, including crypto, as it signals a more supportive monetary 
environment without triggering fears of economic distress. Related Reading:

For Bitcoin, the focus is on whether it can sustain its position above 
critical price levels while macroeconomic factors shape broader sentiment. 
Data from CryptoQuant shows that BTC is increasingly shifting into “HODL 
mode,” with supply moving off exchanges and into long-term storage. This 
pattern suggests that conviction-driven holders are accumulating rather than 
selling, reducing available liquidity on the market. The combination of macro 
catalysts and strengthening onchain fundamentals sets the stage for a pivotal 
week. If Bitcoin holds its ground through the Fed’s announcement, the 
groundwork could be laid for renewed momentum once volatility surrounding the 
decision begins to fade. Bitcoin Spot Volumes Halve Bitcoin enters a decisive 
week with a striking shift in market behavior. Top analyst Axel Adler shared 
insights showing that in January 2025, spot trading volumes peaked at $636 
billion, but by August, that figure had nearly halved to $322 billion. This 
sharp decline in trading activity on centralized exchanges (CEXs) underscores 
a market in transition, with participants moving away from active speculation 
and into what Adler describes as “HODL mode.” The drop in volumes reflects a 
broader cooling of short-term trading enthusiasm. Investors appear less 
inclined to chase rapid price moves, instead opting for long-term accumulation 
strategies. Exchange data supports this, showing consistent outflows as 
Bitcoin is withdrawn into private wallets and cold storage. Such behavior 
indicates a growing conviction that BTC’s value lies in its long-term 
potential rather than short-term trading gains. For Bitcoin, the combination 
of halving spot activity and mounting anticipation for the Fed’s move creates 
a tense equilibrium. On one hand, reduced selling pressure from sidelined 
traders supports price stability. On the other hand, thin liquidity raises the 
risk of sharper swings once volatility returns. As Bitcoin holds near critical 
levels, the coming days may determine whether this HODL-driven environment 
provides the foundation for resilience—or if macro forces spark a more 
dramatic revaluation across the crypto market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crawls 
Up On Weak Supply: 30D Momentum Reveals It Lacks Real Demand Technical 
Details: Holding Key Demand Bitcoin is currently trading near $114,987, 
showing signs of consolidation after its recent bounce from early September 
lows around $110,000. The daily chart highlights that BTC has reclaimed both 
the 50-day SMA at $114,399 and the 100-day SMA at $112,681, strengthening the 
short-term bullish outlook. These moving averages now serve as immediate 
support levels, indicating that buyers are regaining momentum. The key 
resistance remains at $116,000–$117,000, where BTC has struggled to establish 
a sustained breakout. A successful close above this zone would clear the path 
toward retesting the cycle high at $123,217. This level has been a major 
barrier since July and will be the defining hurdle for bulls in the weeks 
ahead. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds 4% Above STH Cost Basis As Mature Bull

with the 100-day SMA. A break below this level could reopen the risk of a 
retest of $110,000, which has acted as a critical floor. The 200-day SMA at 
$102,652 remains the ultimate safety net in case of deeper corrections.
