Bitcoin distribution via miners takes a step back, Japan lowers Bitcoin taxes, Cameron Winklevoss believes in a 10x Bitcoin, while $BTC’s profitability hits historic highs.

These are just some of the recent developments in the crypto world and we’ll discuss all of them.

The first to touch on is Bitcoin’s profitability retesting a historical point after reaching a 92% threshold in Supply in Profit.

This matters because, every time Bitcoin pushed above 90%, a bull rune followed. And the same thing is likely to happen now, as Bitcoin stagnates between $114K and $116K.

An October bull run would push Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) up the charts faster than ever. The presale is already at $16M, showcasing sustained investor confidence in the project’s future as one of the best altcoins of 2025.

Will the New Bitcoin Season Start in October?

All evidence points to a rich October.

The most recent news crosses the Pacific from Japan, where the government decided to cut Bitcoin taxes by more than half.

According to Coin Bureau, Japan slashed Bitcoin taxes from 55% to 20% for 2026, which spells good news for the Asian crypto markets.

Especially in the context of Metaplanet increasing its Bitcoin treasury, currently at 20,136 $BTC, and leading by example.

Pair this with the Bitcoin miners’ shift to HODLing, which increases the asset’s scarcity, and we can see where this is going.

The Winklevoss twins, the co-founders of Gemini, believe it’s going to a 10X Bitcoin. The two said they see Bitcoin as ‘Gold 2.0’ and that it can easily reach $1M per coin in 10-years time.

This comes just as Gemini hit Nasdaq last Friday, with $28 per share, after raising over $425M during its IPO.

The conclusion is almost self-explanatory: Bitcoin will see a fiery end of the year, especially with Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) targeting a Q4 release.

How Bitcoin Hyper’s $16M Presale Will Contribute to Bitcoin’s Success

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is set to accelerate Bitcoin’s success by fixing one of the network’s most pressing issues: its capped performance.

Bitcoin is currently limited at 7 transactions per second (3 right now), which is responsible for several problems, like slow and expensive transactions, no scalability, and a fee-based priority system, causing small transactions to sometimes experience hours-long finality times.

Bitcoin Hyper changes that with the help of tools like the Canonical Bridge and the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).

The Canonical Bridge connects Hyper to the Bitcoin ecosystem and relies on the Bitcoin Relay Program to confirm incoming transactions.

The Bridge then mints the tokens into the Hyper layer, allowing investors to use them within the Hyper ecosystem or withdraw them to the Bitcoin network whenever necessary.

Together with SVM, which delivers the ultra-fast execution of smart contracts and DeFi apps, the Canonical Bridge turns Hyper into a fast-performing ecosystem that upgrades Bitcoin to modern standards.

The presale is now at over $16M, with Hyper sitting at $0.012925.

Based on the project’s utility and scope, we expect $HYPER to experience widespread adoption shortly after launch.

Our price prediction for $HYPER is $0.025 by the end of 2025 and $0.25 by the end of 2030. This translates into a 10-year ROI of 1,834%. With the community behind it, $HYPER could very well defy these predictions and go even higher.

If you want to invest, read our guide on how to buy $HYPER and get your tokens while they’re still at presale price.

Meme coins are known for hype, volatility, and short lifespans. But Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) is trying to rewrite that narrative.

With over $16M raised across multiple presale stages, the project is building more than a token – it’s launching its own Layer 2 blockchain for meme coins, complete with zero-tax trading, bot protection, and a fully integrated launchpad for new projects.

As speculation rages across the meme coin sector, Little Pepe is positioning itself as the infrastructure that future meme tokens can rely on – offering fast, secure, and low-cost transactions on a blockchain purpose-built for virality.

Little Pepe Story So Far – Viral From Birth

Little Pepe came out swinging, with strong presale momentum as soon as it launched.

• Stage 1: Sold out in 3 days – $500K raised at $0.001 per token
• Stage 2: Price bumped to $0.0011-$0.0015, demand increased – $1.23M+ raised
• Stage 3: Token price rose to $0.0012
• Stage 4: The presale raised $2.9M
• Stage 5: Price is at $0.0014, and the raise is over $5.1M

Fast-forward a bit, and the presale now sits at Stage 9. Tokens cost $0.0019 – and over $16.3M has poured into the presale so far. Why all the interest?

Most meme coins are just ERC-20 tokens. Little Pepe is building the chain those meme coins will want to launch on.

Most of the best meme coins ride the Ethereum or Solana wave, but both chains come with major downsides: high gas fees, slow confirmations, and vulnerable bot manipulation. Little Pepe’s Layer 2 directly addresses these pain points:

• Ultra-low gas fees for cheaper trading and better access for retail users
• Fast finality means no more waiting for confirmations during hype moments
• Bot protection provides built-in anti-sniping and fairer launches

That said, Little Pepe is EVM-compatible, so existing dApps and token contracts can migrate seamlessly.

Tokenomics support the presale, with over 26% reserved directly for the presale and another 30% kept for on-chain reserves.

Real Utility – A Launchpad Built for Meme Coin Creators

At the heart of Little Pepe’s ecosystem is Pepe’s Pump Pad, a user-friendly launchpad designed to make deploying new meme coins effortless and secure. Bypass the fuss of Ethereum launches and setting up smart contracts.

With the Pump Pad, users can create tokens without writing a single line of code, lock liquidity automatically, and integrate default smart contract security measures.

The system also includes built-in bot protection and allows for instant deployment on Little Pepe’s high-speed Layer 2 blockchain. Little Pepe’s Pump Pad gives meme coin creators a safe, streamlined platform to launch without losing any of that distinctive meme coin flair..

What’s Next for Little Pepe?

Little Pepe’s development roadmap follows a quirky but clear trajectory: Pregnancy, Birth, and Growth.

The current phase – Pregnancy – focuses on presale fundraising and community building. The upcoming Birth phase will introduce major exchange listings, first on DEXs, then expanding to CEXs as soon as possible. The Birth phase will also see an expanded marketing campaign.

The final phase – Growth – will see the launch of the full Layer 2 blockchain and the rollout of ecosystem tools and partner integrations. After the presale concludes, users will be able to claim their tokens directly via the official website.

Little Pepe enforces a zero-tax policy, meaning no buy or sell fees – a rare move in the meme coin space that encourages frequent and frictionless trading on-chain.

The $777K Giveaway: How to Enter

What’s one reason for all the buzz around Little Pepe? A massive $777K giveaway.

A total of 10 winners will receive $77K each in $LILPEPE tokens.

Entering is simple: participants must purchase at least $100 worth of tokens during the presale and complete social media engagement tasks – such as following and sharing content on X and Telegram.

The more actions a participant completes, the higher their chances of winning one of the coveted $77K prizes.

Little Pepe – Born to Run

In a sea of copy-paste meme coins, Little Pepe is building real infrastructure. From its Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 chain to its one-click launchpad and zero-tax trading model, the project looks to transform the meme coin meta in 2025 and beyond.

To join the presale, connect your MetaMask or Trust Wallet to the presale website. Buy $LILPEPE with $ETH or $USDT (ERC-20). You can also pay with a card through the official Little Pepe website.

With over $16M raised and presale prices still under $0.0020, $LILPEPE might be one of the few frog tokens with real legs.
