BTC Dip Could Ignite a $150K Rally Despite Large $363M+ Whale Sell-Off – HYPER Presale Nears $23M to Scale Bitcoin
Despite $BTC taking a downturn at ~$121K, not helped by a large-scale whale selling $363M+ worth of $BTC, it’s not all doom and gloom for the #1 crypto.
Despite a short-term correction being plausible, momentum remains strong. And it’s all thanks to institutions still betting big on $BTC, contributing to its recent $126K ATH.Analysts still foresee a target of at least $150K by this year’s end. Suppose that plays out, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) could be launching at the perfect moment.
Anticipated to launch before 2026 kickstarts, the Bitcoin Hyper Layer-2 (L2) network will help the Bitcoin network scale seamlessly, regardless of heightened network activity.
It’s no wonder, then, that its native token – $HYPER – is edging closer and closer to the $23M mark on presale.
OG Whale Spooks Market With $419M $BTC Short
Not helping $BTC’s current short-term stance is an ‘OG’ crypto whale recently making a significant bearish move.
After selling $3K $BTC (worth $363.87M) earlier this week, the trader deposited $80M in $USDC into Hyperliquid to open a 6x leveraged short position at 3,477 $BTC (valued at $419M).
The liquidation price is set at $140,660, so the position will automatically be closed if $BTC breaks that level.
Also not helping matters, the big-time investor transferred an additional $50M $USDC to Binance, signaling plans for more trades or liquidity management.
Such a large short bet suggests that the trader foresees $BTC’s price taking a nosedive in the near future, a stance that contrasts with bullish sentiment. Still, the bigger concern is whether these moves will shake investor confidence and spur more large investors to follow similar strategies.But there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Strategy Joins Top 5 US Treasuries With $80B $BTCHelping $BTC’s long-term strength, Strategy’s $80B Bitcoin treasury now ranks #5 among all US corporate treasuries.
The company suggests it’s on track to ‘closing in on the #2 spot among all US corporate treasuries,’ suggesting it has high hopes for $BTC’s future trajectory.
Considering that Strategy already surpasses some of the largest corporate treasuries (even NVIDIA, Apple, and Meta), such data also reflects how far $BTC has come as a serious corporate reserve asset.
This is especially true when taking into account that $BTC broke its $126K ATH on October 6, 2025, up by over 99% year-to-date.And per crypto analysts, the crypto king is destined for even rosier pursuits.
Analysts Predict $BTC Breaking $150K This Year
Following $BTC breaking new ATHs, CrediBULL Crypto stated on X that the ‘next leg to $150K has begun.’
Interestingly, they view a pullback to $108K–$118K as a strong support rather than a concern, noting that traders often buy back in at these levels.
Crypto trader and miner Nick Hellmann also expects $BTC to retest support before surging to $150K and possibly reach $244K this cycle.
If $BTC breaks these levels, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) could be launching into one of the most bullish market environments in $BTC’s history.
Its L2 solution could be precisely what it needs to boost scalability and adoption.
Bitcoin Hyper to Scale Bitcoin Amid Peak Demand
Bitcoin Hyper aims to solve some of the Bitcoin network’s most prominent challenges, starting with speed and scalability.
Right now, Bitcoin can only facilitate 5.48 transactions per second (tps), a significant 99.33% lower than Solana’s 825.9 tps.
In fact, the network has only ever managed to facilitate 7 tps at max, whereas Solana has achieved a commendable 65K tps.
Bitcoin Hyper aims to fix this. By leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), the L2 strives to bring Solana-level throughput to Bitcoin. In turn, the network should be able to achieve thousands of tps without steep costs.
When a chain can only handle a limited number of tps, users compete to get theirs processed, which can significantly drive up fees. But by processing more transactions simultaneously, Hyper aims to reduce congestion and keep fees to a minimum.Given that the average $BTC fee is currently $1.258, while Solana’s is just $0.0027, Bitcoin Hyper would help make the Bitcoin network much more practical for everyday use.
What’s more, by utilizing a Canonical Bridge, $BTC will be able to move into the Hyper ecosystem seamlessly.
In turn, you’ll be able to access new opportunities not previously available on Bitcoin – DeFi, dApps, NFT marketplaces, and even the best meme coins.
The L2’s ultimate aim? To make Bitcoin more valuable and versatile than ever before.
Join $HYPER for 51% Staking APY & Possible 2,367% ROI
Buying $HYPER, however, is when the magic really happens. Its presale success, which has already raised a sizable $22.9M+, is directly tied to the L2’s growth.
The reason is that a hefty 30% of the total token supply is set aside for ongoing development and network expansion.
An additional 20% of $HYPER is earmarked for marketing, ensuring the L2 continues attracting strong visibility to attract new users.
On top of boosting the L2’s evolution and popularity, $HYPER grants several benefits to token holders: lower gas fees, governance rights, and the ability to earn 51% APY via staking.
Since the staking rate will gradually decrease as participation grows, now’s a prime time to buy and stake $HYPER at just $0.012975 per token.
What’s more, the presale price is set to increase tomorrow and possibly hit $0.32 this year (as per our Bitcoin Hyper price prediction). So, if you get involved today, you’ll be securing $HYPER at its current lowest rate.
If our prediction goes as planned, you’ll also achieve an ROI of 2,367%.
Join $HYPER before tomorrow’s price rise.
