Check out our Live Bitcoin Hyper Updates for August 18, 2025!
In 2010, Bitcoin was worth a few cents. One year later, it hit $20. In six years, it was $17,000, and now it’s sitting at over $100K, after hitting an ATH of $123K in July.
Historically, if you’d invested in Bitcoin at launch, you’d have an ROI of 188,643,000%. The likes of Mastercard, JP Morgan, and scores of S&P 500 companies are buying Bitcoin in droves. There’s never been anything like Bitcoin before, and investors are waking up to that reality.
However, Bitcoin is getting old for modern standards. No dApps, no smart contracts, and almost non-existent DeFi scalability. It needs an upgrade. And that’s what Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is here to do with Layer-2 technology.
The L2 will run on a Canonical Bridge, combined with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), for native compatibility with Solana. You’ll be able to build token programs, LP logic, oracles, games, NFT infrastructure, DAOs, and much more. All without reinventing the wheel.
To engage with the L2, you’ll deposit $BTC to a designated address monitored by the Canonical Bridge. The Relay Program verifies the details, and then mints an equivalent number of wrapped $BTC on the L2. You can also withdraw your original $BTC at any time.
If you’re looking for the newest insights on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Hyper, you’re in the right place.
We update this page regularly throughout the day with the latest insider insights for Bitcoin maxis and Bitcoin Hyper fans. Keep refreshing to stay ahead of the pack!

Bitcoin has dropped over 7% from its all-time high, signaling that a deeper correction may be underway before the crypto resumes its broader upward trend.
To get a clearer picture of how much further Bitcoin could drop in its correction phase, we can apply the Fibonacci retracement tool, drawing it from the low of $98,242 (i.e. the low of the latest weekly range).
Since the most common assumption is that corrections typically reach at least the 50% retracement level, Bitcoin still has about 3.5% more downside before hitting that mark.
Speaking of momentum indicators, Bitcoin on the daily chart is now resting on the 50 EMA while simultaneously entering its latest support zone.
This is the same zone that fueled an 11% rally just a couple of weeks ago. If this support holds, Bitcoin could make another push toward fresh all-time highs within the next 10-14 days.

Thailand will announce today the TouristDigiPay initiative, allowing foreign tourists to exchange crypto for the local Thai Baht.
The TouristDigiPay initiative will run under strict regulatory supervision to ‘prevent the direct use of digital assets as a means of payment’ and will only function as a currency conversion system.
Future plans are in place to link the service to the tourists’ credit and debit cards.
The implementation of TouristDigiPay brings Thailand into the crypto sector, which could bring new eyes on projects like Bitcoin Hyper.
Bitcoin Hyper is the Layer 2 solution that promises to push Bitcoin’s performance to modern standards with the help of tools like the Canonical Bridge and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM.)

Metaplanet announced a 775 Bitcoin purchase currently worth ~$89M, with the company holding 18,888 Bitcoins worth around $2.17B.
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy has lifted the company up several notches, from a no-name entity to one of the leading institutional Bitcoin holders in the world.
Investors are already calling Metaplanet ‘Asia’s Strategy,’ and the market is gobbling up all this hype. Despite a temporary slump, we believe a recovery is in store.
The project plans a Layer-2 to increase Bitcoin’s transaction speed, bring dApps and smart contracts to its ecosystem, and scale it to modern demands.
With a $10.3M presale raise and a token price of $0.012745, $HYPER is looking ready to explode.

His reason: the US ramping up interest rate payments to $1T in the first 10 months of the fiscal year 2025.
At this rate, they’re closing in on the $1.2T annual interest expense. So, interest rate cuts are looking increasingly likely, according to Keiser.
He argues that Bitcoin’s price ceiling keeps going up as the US moves toward more interest rate cuts. And this seems reasonable, if not expected.
