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.

Authored by Aaron Walker, NewsBTC: Bitcoin Weekend Takeaways & Analysis: Bitcoin Hyper Might Be 2025’s Best Altcoin

Bitcoin starts under pressure in September after a cruel end in August. Now, all eyes are $100,000. Bitcoin closed a disappointing week for the Bulls in August. After winning a new all-time high just over $124,000 in mid-August, Bitcoin closed three red candles in a row on its weekly charts. The candles for the past week close to a low low, blowing away momentum.

The MACD oscillator also confirmed a bearish cross at the end of each week. This should help maintain the downward pressure that comes in this week. The RSI currently sits in a relatively neutral position just above the 50 line, but it’s the lowest level since mid-April.

This first week of September saw Bitcoin drop to test support levels from price integrations from May to June. The Bulls are looking for a large number of nodes, ranging from around $104,000 to keep the price, and can ideally prevent this week’s candle from falling below that level. Through this support, the Bears will attempt to return the price to the Key 1.618 Fibonacci expansion level from Bear Market in 2022 for $102,000. Closing under $102,000 this week is a very bad thing for the Bulls. This would be very bad as it threatens to test your last major swing at $98,000, below the infamous laser eye level of $100,000.

Taking $100,000 on the downside gives a lot of weight to the paper “long-term top.” $96,000 is basically the Bulls’ final line of defense, if the price can slip through all these upper support levels.

So heading into this week, look for buyers to step in and try to turn things into order at the $105,000 level. The Bulls are turning right this week on the ship and putting in some kind of inverted candle to turn things around. But for now, the bear is in full control and is about to continue selling pressure in September.

Terminology Guide:

Bulls/Bully: A buyer or investor expects prices to rise.

Bear/Bear: Sellers or investors who expect prices to drop.

Support or Support Level: At least at the beginning, the level at which the asset’s price is retained. The more touches you have in support, the more likely it will be to be weaker and will not be able to hold the price.

Resistance or Resistance Level: Opposition to support. At least at the beginning, there is a high probability of rejecting the price. The more resistance touches and the weaker the more likely it is to be unable to keep the price down.

Fibonacci retrace and extensions: Ratios based on what is known as the Golden Ratio, a universal ratio related to natural growth and collapse cycles. The golden ratio is based on the constants PHI (1.618) and PHI (0.618).

Oscillator: A technical indicator that differs over time, but usually remains within the band between set levels. Therefore, they vibrate between low levels (usually representing conditions for sale) and high levels (usually representing terms for acquisition). For example, relative strength index (RSI) and moving average convergence force (MACD).

Macd Oscillator: Moving Average Convergence Divergence is a momentum oscillator that shows motion and momentum to subtract the difference between two moving averages.

RSI Oscillator: The relative strength index is a kinetic oscillator that moves between 0 and 100. Measures the change in price speed and the speed of price movement. If the RSI is above 70, it is considered to be over-purchased. If the RSI is below 30, it is considered to be oversold.

A leading crypto adviser is sending an urgent message to XRP investors. Jake Claver, who advises the ultra-wealthy, says the time to prepare is before XRP becomes real money. He warns that too many investors wait until after profits arrive, and by then it may be too late to avoid problems. Claver explains that early planning could be the best way to protect XRP investor gains and keep them safe. According to him, waiting until the windfall is already in their wallet leaves them exposed and unprepared.

Get Your Structure In Place Before XRP Profits Arrive

Jake Claver’s first piece of advice in his X post is direct: get your structure in place before profits come in. He says many XRP investors are waiting too long, and that delay can lead to risks that are hard to fix later. As a crypto adviser for the ultra wealthy, Claver has seen how fast success can turn into trouble when investors ignore planning. He makes it clear that action must come before the gains, not after.

The crypto adviser stresses that XRP investors need to focus on legal, tax, and security planning while they still have time. If these steps are skipped or delayed, investors may face significant burdens when their coins become of real value. Problems can arise quickly, and once they do, they become more complex and more expensive to resolve. 

Claver cautions that establishing a structure is not about fear but being smart. Building the right plan now helps investors enjoy their success later without stress. In his view, the best way to secure digital wealth is to take action early, not when the profits are already sitting in the wallet.

Trusts, LLCs, And Custody Solutions Built For Digital Assets

Jake Claver also points to the tools he thinks work best for building crypto wealth. He says basic templates are not enough for serious investors, and XRP holders need structures made for digital assets if they want their coins to turn into lasting money.

The crypto adviser for the ultra-wealthy recommends using digital asset–specific trusts, LLCs, and custody solutions. These solutions could provide XRP investors with lasting financial security, giving them a strong way to protect their wealth and avoid costly mistakes as their digital holdings gradually turn into real money.

The tools are not one-size-fits-all but they handle the fast growth and changing rules around digital coins. With the proper setup, XRP investors can protect their profits, pass on wealth to the next generation, and keep it safe from sudden losses.

Claver’s warning is clear, asking XRP investors to act early. By putting these protections in place before profits arrive, they can hold on to the value they have built and avoid risks from waiting too long.

A Silicon Valley startup says it has discovered the pinnacle of alchemy – converting a relatively common metal into gold.

Marathon Fusion is proposing a process that uses nuclear fusion to turn mercury into gold, reports the Economic Times.

In a scientific paper, the firms says it’s possible to use high-energy neutrons from a fusion reactor to bombard mercury-198, turning it into mercury-197, which then decays into stable gold-197 over a matter of days.

The company says the process can be done at scale, but for now it remains theoretical.

“Our approach is economically irresistible, practically feasible, and massively scalable, in contrast to prior attempts. An entirely new golden age begins now.”

The paper, which has not yet been peer reviewed, claims the gold can be created as a byproduct at nuclear power stations “without any compromise to fuel self-sufficiency or power output.”

The method promises to create 5,000 kilograms of gold annually using a one-gigawatt fusion power plant.

Marathon Fusion was co-founded by a former SpaceX engineer and a Breakthrough Energy Fellow.

It has raised over $10.9 million in funding, including a $5.9 million seed round in July 2024 led by 1517 Fund and Anglo American, with additional support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E, Breakthrough Energy Fellows, Übermorgen Ventures and the Shared Future Fund.

Jito Labs published a proposal for a Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) on July 21, a transaction-sequencing system that would enable developers to run central-limit order books, perpetual exchanges, and dark pools on Solana without altering the base protocol.

The design introduces a network of BAM Nodes that sit beside the existing validator set, order encrypted transactions inside Trusted Execution Environments, and forward them to the leader with cryptographic attestations of sequence integrity. 

From privacy to auditability in one pipeline

According to the document, BAM Validators running an updated Jito-Solana client then execute the ordered bundle, returning proofs that they have followed the instructions.

The proposal cites three technical goals. The first is keeping orders private until execution to curb harmful MEV, while creating a public audit trail of every ordered bundle. Lastly, BAM intends to give applications direct access to scheduling logic through Plugins. 

Each plugin can inject or reorder instructions inside the enclave, enabling application-controlled execution for use cases such as “just-in-time” oracle updates or priority cancel-replace flows for market makers. 

According to the roadmap, a revenue split channels plugin fees to node operators, validators, stakers, and the Jito DAO.

Phased rollout

Jito will operate the first BAM Nodes while an alpha validator cohort, consisting of Triton One, SOL Strategies, Figment, Helius, and others, tests the client. 

The plan seeks a “high single-digit” percentage of delegated stake shortly after launch, then 30% or more as additional node operators join. Jito aims to open-source the code and reach 50 geographically distributed nodes before handing governance to the DAO.

Jito argues that BAM offers institutions deterministic execution and verifiable privacy, two requirements often cited by high-frequency traders. 

By allowing custom sequencing without private mempools or off-chain deals, the system could attract order flow that now migrates to centralized venues. 

The firm added that Solana’s existing throughput positions the chain to act as a decentralized Nasdaq once plugins for perpetuals and dark pools arrive.

Jito Labs intends to submit a governance proposal directing all BAM and block-engine fees to the Jito DAO treasury while the company continues technical maintenance. The approach would shift value capture from MEV extraction to fee-sharing for scheduling services, the document said.

The Block Assembly Marketplace plan now awaits feedback from validators, developers, and token holders before the code moves into production testing.

Taking advantage of rising hotel prices and the boom in shachuhaku (sleeping in your car), the Japanese convenience store chain Lawson has rolled out a new pilot program that lets travelers spend the night in select store parking lots, reports Tokyo Weekender.

From July 14, 2025 through June 2026, six Chiba locations—Minamibōsō, Kamogawa, Onjuku, Ichinomiya, Futtsu — are offering “Car-bini” (a play on the Japanese word konbini, short for “convenience store) koRV-park-style spaces for ¥2,500–¥3,000 ($16–$20) a night.

The concept is simple: reserve and pre-pay online, arrive at 6 p.m., occupy two marked spaces, and stay until 9 a.m. Guests get access to store restrooms, an extension cord for electricity, and trash disposal for one bag. “Lawson stores are open 24/7—providing constant access to food, drinks, bathrooms and even ice cream,” Tokyo Weehender notes. That’s a big upgrade over rural michi-no-eki that lock their gates at sunset.

A partnership with the Japan RV Association keeps the experiment orderly, addressing growing concerns about noise, litter, and idling engines at free rest areas. A Lawson spokesperson told Tokyo Weekender that “many customers already take naps in store lots, but inconsistent policies created confusion.” By formalizing the stay, the chain turns underused pavement into revenue and gives drivers peace of mind.

Only one vehicle per store is available during the trial, but Lawson hopes to expand nationwide. Until then, road-trippers can literally fall asleep under the glow of a Lawson sign — proof that in Japan, convenience truly never sleeps.
