The Bitcoin price has been on fire this year, and analysts are now eyeing a run to $140K in October if momentum holds. While Bitcoin (BTC) dominates headlines, Ethereum whales have been quietly accumulating another token they believe could rival SHIB’s explosive rise. That token is Layer Brett (LBRETT), a meme-fuelled project built on Ethereum Layer 2 that’s combining retail hype with blockchain utility.
Bitcoin (BTC) price set for October breakout
Market watchers point to institutional inflows and ETF demand as major drivers for the next Bitcoin price rally. If spot ETFs keep absorbing supply, Bitcoin could squeeze higher into Q4, with several analysts suggesting $140K is within reach. Long-term holders remain confident, and whale wallets continue to stack. The halving cycle is another factor: Historically, BTC rallies have accelerated in the year following a halving event, and many traders believe October could align perfectly with that pattern. But for smaller investors, the challenge is clear: BTC is a giant, and while it’s stable, its multiples are limited. A 2x or 3x may be realistic, but a 100x? That’s where attention shifts elsewhere.
Ethereum (ETH) whales are diversifying
While the Bitcoin price dominates mainstream headlines, insiders are watching Ethereum activity closely. Whale wallets tied to ETH have been spreading funds into new projects, looking for asymmetric gains. Some are stacking DeFi tokens or AI coins, but a growing number have been spotted accumulating Layer Brett, a presale token still priced at just $0.0058. The logic is simple: While ETH remains a blue-chip, it won’t deliver the kind of returns a meme coin with real tech backing can. That’s why many see Layer Brett as a spiritual successor to SHIB, only this time with Ethereum Layer 2 scalability, lower fees, and staking rewards that reward early adopters.
Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) legacy sets the stage
Back in 2021, SHIB turned pennies into fortunes, proving that community-driven memes can move markets. Today, SHIB is still active, but its massive supply and slowing growth make repeating that run unlikely. Ethereum whales know this — which is why their eyes are on alternatives that can capture SHIB-like energy without its baggage. Layer Brett offers that setup, with staking yields of 663% APY at the time of writing (falling as more holders join), a fixed 10 billion supply, and a roadmap filled with NFTs, gamified staking, and cross-chain bridging. It’s the same meme culture, but upgraded with real blockchain utility.
Why retail traders are watching too
It’s not just whales making moves. Retail traders are flooding into Layer Brett communities across Telegram (9.6k), X (9.6k), TikTok (25k+), and YouTube, where reviews have pulled thousands of views in days. For many smaller investors, this visibility is what makes the project real — it feels alive and buzzing, not just a whitepaper promise. With nearly $4 million raised already, FOMO is setting in, especially since staking rewards drop the longer buyers wait. Compared to the slower, steadier paths of BTC and ETH, the appeal of locking in a presale entry before mainstream exposure is obvious.
Closing take
The Bitcoin price may well hit $140K in October, and BTC holders will celebrate. Ethereum whales will continue stacking their blue-chip, but their side bets on emerging projects show where they see the explosive upside. SHIB proved what memes can do once; Layer Brett is positioning itself to prove it again — this time with faster transactions, cheaper fees, and a roadmap designed for staying power.
Presale is open now at $0.0058 — secure Layer Brett early, stake while APYs remain sky-high, and ride alongside whales before the window closes.
