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.

Dogecoin is holding firm above major support at $0.22 despite repeated threats to break below in the just concluded week. Amidst these fluctuations, an interesting technical indicator suggests that Dogecoin’s long-term rally is still intact.

This technical indicator’s outlook was pointed out by crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade, who used the Gaussian Channel, a popular momentum tool, as evidence that Dogecoin’s bullish momentum is still in play despite the current selling pressures.

Gaussian Channel Shows Continued Bullish Strength For Dogecoin

Dogecoin’s price trajectory has been highlighted by a decline since mid-January. This decline has seen Dogecoin fall by as high as 47% from a lower high of $0.4159 on January 18. The price correction is even more pronounced when considering its multi-year high of $0.475, which it achieved on December 9, 2024, from which Dogecoin has now corrected by approximately 54%.

This notable correction has also seen the development of a few bearish signals on the Dogecoin price chart. One such bearish development is the rejection at a macro resistance and the failure to reclaim the macro golden pocket in the recent week. 

However, despite the notable correction in the Dogecoin price, the meme coin seems to be still trading in an uptrend in the longer term. This long-term outlook is revealed through the analysis of Dogecoin on the weekly candlestick timeframe using the Gaussian Channel.

The Gaussian Channel is a lesser-known technical analysis tool that helps identify trends and cycles in price movements by highlighting green and red zones in different market cycles. The green zones represent periods of upward momentum, where the price is expected to keep growing. On the other hand, red zones indicate periods of correction or consolidation, during which the market pauses before resuming its upward trajectory. 

According to a Dogecoin price chart shared by crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade on social media platform X, Dogecoin entered into its most recent green zone on the Gaussian Channel in 2024. However, despite the recent correction, it has remained in this green zone, indicating that Dogecoin’s uptrend is still active in the long term.

Long-Term Price Target For DOGE

With the Gaussian Channel still indicating the green zone for Dogecoin, the rally could resume anytime soon. According to Trader Tardigrade’s projection, this rally will be enough to push DOGE above multiple resistance levels at $0.3, $0.4, and the recent multi-year high of $0.475.

If momentum builds and buying pressure increases, Dogecoin may even retest its all-time high of $0.7316, which has remained unchallenged since the peak of the 2021 bull run.

Beyond these immediate targets, Tardigrade’s analysis suggests that the meme coin’s long-term trajectory could extend well beyond the $1 mark. The forecast envisions an even more aggressive rally that could see Dogecoin climbing as high as $4.1. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.247, up by 1.5% in the past 24 hours but down by 25% since the beginning of February.
