Bitcoin ETFs Score 5th Day of Inflows as Ether ETFs Hit Record-Breaking Volume

After hovering below the $110K mark over the past few weeks, Bitcoin hit a new 
all-time high yesterday. Bolstered by growing institutional adoption, $BTC is 
stronger than ever. And that means now’s the time to buy crypto before the 
next surge. $BTC finally reached the $100K milestone late last year, before 
outdoing itself in May, when it reached $111,970. Making it to $112,017 is 
another first for the crypto OG. Make no mistake, Lady Luck played no hand in 
Bitcoin’s surge. It’s down to an ever-growing list of financial institutions 
worldwide that are recognizing the value of $BTC, due in part to supportive 
government policies. Top Guns Weigh In Bitcoin champion Michael Saylor, 
Executive Chairman of Strategy, argues that Bitcoin has gotten through its 
riskiest period. In fact, he told Bloomberg in a June 10 interview that he 
believes that $BTC will be $1M. “The President of the United States supports 
Bitcoin. The Cabinet supports Bitcoin. [Treasury Secretary] Scott Bessent 
supports Bitcoin. Paul Atkins has shown himself to be enthusiastic about 
bitcoin and digital assets. Brian Quintenz at CFTC feels that the banks will 
custody Bitcoin.” Saylor explained that Bitcoin Treasury companies are buying 
$BTC’s natural supply. In addition, “BlackRock and the ETFs are buying another 
measure of that, and we&#8217;ve got nation-state actors coming into the space. The 
writing is on the wall. Bitcoin is moving higher.” Bitcoin’s status as a 
heavyweight institutional asset is solidifying fast. And while Saylor’s 
Strategy continues to grab the spotlight, the corporate herd is growing. Take 
GameStop, for instance. It made waves in May by greenlighting Bitcoin buys at 
the board level. Soon after, GameStop purchased 4.71K Bitcoin. And for its 
part, the Trump Media and Technology Group is also eyeing a blended crypto 
ETF. Dubbed the “Crypto Blue Chip ETF,” it plans to offer exposure to five 
digital assets. Some 70% of the ETF&#8217;s holdings will be in $BTC, 15% in $ETH, 
8% in $SOL, and 5% in $XRP. The remaining 2% of the ETF’s holdings will be in 
$CRO – the native token of the ETF’s digital custodian, the exchange 
Crypto.com. Bitcoin Wins, Crypto Scores With fresh ETF inflows, increased 
corporate balance sheet exposure, the rise of crypto futures, and a more 
favorable regulatory environment, $BTC is experiencing a powerful surge in 
institutional interest. And the momentum shows no signs of slowing down 
anytime soon. So, if you&#8217;re wondering which crypto to buy before the next big 
surge, you&#8217;re in the right place. Here are three altcoins with massive 
potential to explode when $BTC rallies again. If Michael Saylor’s predictions 
hold true, that surge could be just around the corner. 1. Bitcoin Hyper 
($HYPER) – Scalability for Bitcoin Through an L2 In keeping with all things 
$BTC, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) brings an exciting proposal to the crypto table. 
A Bitcoin Layer-2 (L2) platform. The Bitcoin blockchain has a lot going for 
it, especially in terms of top-level security. It falls short, however, in 
terms of speed and high transaction fees, especially when compared to the 
likes of Solana. In short, Bitcoin lacks scalability. That’s where $HYPER 
steps up to the plate. This upcoming meme coin is set to power an innovative 
Bitcoin L2 ecosystem that will increase the speed and reduce fees. More 
importantly, it adds cross-chain compatibility. That means seamless access to 
the best meme coins, DeFi, and dApps. At the moment, Bitcoin Hyper is on 
presale. That means you can buy it for $0.0122. You can also stake your $HYPER 
for 360% APY. If you’re keen to discover more about this L2 and the meme coin 
behind it, take a look at our guide to buying $HYPER. It explains all you need 
to know. Keep in mind, though, that as a presale, the price of $HYPER will 
increase in stages, offering you the chance to secure tokens at a lower cost 
now. Additionally, the rewards APY is dynamic and will decrease over time, so 
the earlier you get in, the better the returns. Once $HYPER lists on DEXs 
after the presale, the price is expected to rise even further, so now is a 
prime opportunity to get involved before the price climbs. 2. Best Wallet 
Token ($BEST) – Driving Global Crypto Wallet Market Domination It’s not only 
institutions that are taking Bitcoin and other digital assets much more 
seriously these days. With the growing number of retail, as in individual, 
investors also entering the scene, it means a bigger demand for crypto 
wallets. That’s what makes the Best Wallet Token ($BEST) one to watch with a 
very close eye. It’s the native token of Best Wallet, a non-custodial, no KYC, 
multi-chain, and multi-currency hot wallet that is gaining serious market 
traction. So much so that Best Wallet is on a mission to dominate 40% of the 
global crypto wallet market by the end of next year. And it’s using $BEST to 
help it achieve that target. Holding $BEST means additional benefits and 
features of what is already a leading crypto wallet. That includes being able 
to buy the best presale crypto directly from the mobile wallet (a market 
first, by the way); lower transaction fees; and higher staking rewards. $BEST 
also comes with community governance. So you can have a say in the project’s 
direction – including the presale tokens available to buy, and other features. 
$BEST is also on presale. Buy yours today for $0.025305 and stake it for 99% 
before the upcoming price increase. Our How To Buy $BEST guide explains how to 
do just that. 3. America Party ($AP) – On the Heels Of Musk&#8217;s New Party The 
America Party Token ($AP) is another newcomer to the crypto scene. It was 
launched mere days after Elon Musk announced he intends to create a new 
political party. However, unlike $HYPER and $BEST, which are both on presale, 
$AP is already listed on DEXs. To be clear, though, the $AP token is not 
affiliated with Musk or the America Party he is launching. That said, $AP does 
stand to ride on Musk’s coattails. And to sweeten the deal, when Musk mentions 
a cryptocurrency, meme coins in particular, that token often explodes. And 
recently, Musk was asked by a follower whether his America Party will embrace 
Bitcoin. His response was definitive: “Fiat is useless, so yes.” Another boost 
for crypto. Right now, $AP costs $0.01830 – up 239.38% since it launched on 
July 7. Get yours today through UniSwap or MEXC. “The Writing’s On The Wall” 
As Saylor put it, “Bitcoin is moving higher.” And while the market can be 
unpredictable at best, $BTC’s latest rally to $112K is a definitive indicator 
that the institutional adoption of digital assets is positively impacting, and 
with signs of slowing. That means newer cryptos like $HYPER, $BEST, and $AP 
also have the potential to pump if current conditions continue. And the best 
part of investing in new tokens is getting in at an early-bird price. That 
said, nothing is guaranteed, and we’re not financial advisers. Be sure to 
always DYOR research before making any investment.
