Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a tear these past ten days. After dipping to a local low of $108,740 in late September, the coin rebounded hard – and it hasn’t looked back since.
Over the weekend, it overtook its previous peak and set a new all-time high above $125,000. It’s the kind of turnaround that demonstrates how quickly sentiment can flip when new narratives gain traction.
Bitcoin’s surge has investors also looking at projects built around it. If you’re holding BTC, you don’t just want to hold it passively anymore – you want ways to use it. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) comes in.
The Bitcoin Hyper presale has already raised $21.6 million, and at its current pace, it could cross $22 million within a day or two. With HYPER tokens currently priced at just $0.013065, investors are rushing to get involved early ahead of the first exchange listing.
Bitcoin Hits a Record High of $125,559 Over the Weekend
Bitcoin topped out at $125,559 on Saturday night, about 15% higher than the lows we saw just ten days ago. That move wiped out August’s peak of $124,490 and set a new record high for the OG cryptocurrency.
Several factors have prompted this rally. Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. took in $3.2 billion last week alone – one of their biggest hauls ever. That flood of institutional money gave the market serious depth, which allowed the rally to continue.
October’s seasonality has helped, too – “Uptober” has a strong track record. And with $50 billion in spot trading volume in a single day, along with $200 million in short positions liquidated, BTC’s surge had plenty of force behind it.
At a $2.47 trillion market cap, Bitcoin is now larger than Google, Amazon, and Meta. Some analysts are even saying it’s on track to overtake Apple and Microsoft before the end of the year.
Can Bitcoin Keep Going Higher? Catalysts Suggest Yes
The natural question after a new all-time high: Is there room to run? A lot of signs say yes. ETF inflows aren’t slowing down, and analysts think many corporations will boost their BTC allocations before the year is out. If that happens, Bitcoin above $150,000 isn’t out of the question.
The macro backdrop helps too. Last month’s rate cut is pushing the dollar lower, which usually raises interest in alternative stores of value (like crypto). Add in all the government shutdown drama, and Bitcoin’s role as a safe haven looks a lot stronger.
On-chain data also indicates more accumulation and less BTC on exchanges – a sign that long-term holders are staying put. And looking beyond this cycle, Bitcoin is starting to get framed as a strategic asset.
Governments and big companies testing “Bitcoin reserves” could add demand that keeps building long after the current rally ends. All these factors suggest that BTC might continue to rise in the weeks ahead.
BTC’s Rally Fuels Bitcoin Hyper’s Rapid Presale Growth as $22M Milestone Nears
Unsurprisingly, this has been good news for Bitcoin Hyper, a new Layer-2 project that’s tapping into the same bullish momentum. The project’s presale looks set to pass $22 million within the next 48 hours, and at today’s token price of $0.013065, investors are taking advantage of the low entry point.
Bitcoin Hyper’s pitch is straightforward: make Bitcoin faster, cheaper, and more useful. By running on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), its Layer-2 can handle near-instant transactions while anchoring back to Bitcoin for security.

That setup means BTC can finally be used in smart contracts, DeFi apps, meme coins, and even NFTs – things usually reserved for other Layer-1s like Ethereum or Solana. It would add some much-needed utility to the world’s largest crypto.
HYPER powers Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer-2 network, covering transaction fees, governance, and staking. Early stakers are being offered rewards of 55% APY, which has helped pull in both retail buyers and whales.
And with Bitcoin itself back in price discovery, the appeal of actually using BTC is higher than ever. Investors want more than a savings vehicle; they want a working ecosystem. Bitcoin Hyper is offering such an ecosystem, positioning it as one of the projects that could benefit the most from BTC’s rally.
