Bitcoin’s back on the up, bouncing near $117K after the US President Donald Trump gave crypto lovers something to cheer about: the appointment of Stephen Miran to the Federal Reserve Board.

Miran, a former Treasury official and vocal Bitcoin supporter, is expected to push for looser monetary policy, including fewer rate hikes and a more growth-friendly economic stance.

This could be great news for $BTC. As the #1 crypto with a hefty $2.32T market cap, it tends to perform well when inflation rises and the dollar loses strength.

But as $BTC gains more attention, the same old issues often resurface. The Bitcoin network still struggles with slow speeds and costly fees, especially during periods of peak demand.

Fortunately, Bitcoin Hyper – a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution – is getting set to launch this quarter to help address such woes.

Miran Joins Fed, Boosts Crypto Market Outlook

In a Truth Social post yesterday, Trump announced that Miran, the current Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, would fill the recently vacated Fed seat until January 31, 2026.

Interestingly, before his appointment, Miran questioned the accuracy of current inflation models and hinted at a more cautious approach to rate hikes – an outlook that could favor $BTC.

With Miran now serving on the Fed Board, the crypto market has perked up. Since the news broke, $BTC has spiked by around 3%, from a $114K low to a $117.5K – though it has since stabilized to $117K.

Bitcoin ETFs are also on the rise, with all top 10 funds in the green. ProShares’ BITO, the only futures ETF in the top 10, posted the highest turnover rate at 9.31%.

This signals that long-term investors and active traders are re-entering the market as $BTC shows renewed strength.

But while $BTC’s price hike is promising, the network on which it’s held still faces scalability issues. This makes Bitcoin Hyper’s upcoming launch all the more important.

Bitcoin Hyper to Solve Bitcoin’s Biggest Issues This Quarter

Once launched this quarter, Bitcoin Hyper promises to make Bitcoin more scalable, faster, and cost-friendly – all without compromising the Layer 1 version’s security or core principles.

As $BTC adoption grows, the network often becomes congested. Fees spike and transactions slow down, especially during bull runs. Bitcoin Hyper is under development to fix precisely this.

For instance, during the April 2024 halving event, fees on the Bitcoin network spiked above $128. This was also partly due to the launch of the Runes protocol, causing a sharp increase in transaction demand.

But with Bitcoin Hyper, instead of every transaction competing for space on the base layer, it batches transactions off-chain and settles them efficiently.

By doing so, it can facilitate lower fees, faster transactions, and more practical real-world use for DeFi protocols and dApps built on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Hyper aims to achieve this by leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), which brings smart contract capabilities to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

A Canonical Bridge is also at the core of the Layer 2’s infrastructure. Once a transaction is verified through an SVM smart contract, the system mints an equivalent wrapped $BTC on the Layer 2. This wrapped $BTC can then be used across DeFi platforms.

If you want to retrieve your Bitcoins, fear not. The bridge will validate the Layer 2 activity and securely release the original $BTC back to the base layer.

Moreover, to ensure security while scaling, Bitcoin Hyper uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). This allows for fast, trustless transaction verification with minimal impact on Bitcoin’s main chain.

To get the most out of the ecosystem, you’ll want to purchase $HYPER. As the project’s native currency, it grants access to lower gas fees, governance rights, and staking rewards up to a 139% APY.

It’s no wonder $HYPER has already attracted over $7.7M since its presale launch on May 16, 2025.

Verdict – Bitcoin Hyper to Gear Up at the Right Time

Miran joining the Federal Reserve Board signals a shift toward looser policy, a setup that often benefits $BTC.

While this is excellent news for the crypto leader and thus the entire market as a whole, the Bitcoin network will likely struggle to keep up with the surge in demand.

Good thing Bitcoin Hyper is getting set to launch shortly. To get the most out of the ecosystem, you can purchase $HYPER on presale for just $0.012575.

Once the Layer 2 launches its mainnet, it’s anticipated to reach $0.32, making now a prime time to join for possible gains surpassing 2,445%.

CIO Bitwsie: Penurunan Tajam STRC Adalah Sinyal Pasar Tumbuh, Bull Market Akan Dimulai Pada Musim Gugur

Artikel ini membahas penurunan drastis harga Bitcoin di bawah $60.000, yang dipicu oleh gejolak pada saham preferen STRATOS (STRC) dari perusahaan MicroStrategy. Penulis, Matt Hougan (CIO Bitwise), menjelaskan bahwa STRC adalah produk yang dirancang untuk memberikan dividen tinggi dan stabil pada harga $100. Namun, kekhawatiran atas kemampuan MicroStrategy membayar dividen saat harga Bitcoin turun menyebabkan STRC anjlok ke $75. MicroStrategy kemudian mengumumkan kerangka kerja baru: mereka mungkin menjual sebagian Bitcoin untuk membayar dividen, membiarkan harga STRC mengambang bebas, dan berpotensi membelinya kembali di pasar sekunder. Ini menandai perubahan peran perusahaan dari pembeli Bitcoin satu arah menjadi entitas yang akan membeli dan menjual secara dinamis berdasarkan kondisi pasar. Hougan berpendapat bahwa fluktuasi STRC mencerminkan fase akhir siklus pasar, di mana leverage berlebihan sedang dibersihkan. Dia meyakini bahwa lembaga keuangan global (bank, dana pensiun, dana kekayaan negara) akan menjadi pembeli utama Bitcoin berikutnya, menggantikan MicroStrategy. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun proses deleveraging ini menyakitkan, ini adalah tanda bahwa dasar pasar sedang terbentuk. Beberapa sinyal mendekati dasar termasuk harga MSTR diperdagangkan di bawah nilai aset bersih (NAV), indeks Fear & Greed yang sangat rendah, dan tingkat pendanaan futures Bitcoin yang negatif. Hougan percaya dasar pasar sudah dekat dan bull run baru kemungkinan akan dimulai pada musim gugur tahun ini.

Pendiri ENS Ingin 'Merebut Kekuasaan' dari Tangan DAO

Pada 29 Juni, proposal perpanjangan kewenangan veto Komite Keamanan ENS DAO selama dua tahun memasuki tahap voting on-chain. Pendiri ENS, Nick Johnson, menggunakan kepemilikan ENS-nya yang besar untuk memberikan suara menentang, meningkatkan suara penolakan menjadi 3,55 juta. Komite Keamanan, dibentuk Juli 2024 dengan kewenangan veto 4/8, bertujuan melindungi perbendaharaan DAO sebesar $350 juta dari proposal berbahaya. Tindakan Nick Johnson ini dipandang sebagai langkah awal dalam upayanya mereformasi tata kelola ENS DAO. Pada November 2025, ia menyatakan keprihatinan bahwa DAO penuh dengan politik internal, menyebabkan orang-orang berkompetensi pergi. Sebelumnya, pada 19 Juni, COO ENS Katherine Wu mengajukan proposal untuk memperkuat Yayasan ENS, menyerahkan pengelolaan operasional sehari-hari dan perbendaharaan kepada yayasan yang direstrukturisasi, sementara DAO mempertahankan kekuasaan inti seperti upgrade protokol. Proposal ini menuai kontroversi, terutama terkait kontrol atas perbendaharaan. Nick menjelaskan bahwa penolakannya terhadap perpanjangan komite didasari kekhawatiran kurangnya checks and balances, serta potensi penyalahgunaan veto untuk tujuan politik. Menanggapi hal ini, Katherine mengajukan proposal revisi yang meningkatkan ambang eksekusi veto dari 4/8 menjadi 5/8 dan menambahkan mekanisme pembatasan. Langkah ini terjadi di tengah penurunan pendapatan ENS, dari lebih dari $10 juta (2023) menjadi kurang dari $2 juta (2025). Dengan kepemilikan token yang signifikan, Nick memiliki kemampuan untuk mendorong perubahan. Tekanannya kini adalah memastikan yayasan baru berkinerja lebih baik daripada tata kelola DAO sebelumnya.

Memprediksi Babak Gugur Piala Dunia, Seberapa Besar Perbedaan Level AI?

**Ringkasan: Prediksi Piala Dunia oleh AI, Seberapa Akuratkah Mereka?** Odaily Planet Daily menguji akurasi prediksi berbagai model AI (ChatGPT, Grok, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude) untuk babak knockout Piala Dunia dengan membandingkannya dengan hasil aktual. **DeepSeek dan Gemini** menonjol dengan prediksi brilian mereka untuk pertandingan Belanda vs Maroko. Keduanya tidak hanya meramal hasil seri 1-1 di waktu normal, tetapi juga memprediksi kemenangan Maroko melalui adu penalti, yang ternyata sangat akurat. **Grok dan Qwen** menunjukkan konsistensi dalam memprediksi skor tepat untuk pertandingan dengan tim favorit yang jelas, seperti Kanada 1-0 atas Afrika Selatan dan Brasil 2-1 atas Jepang. Mereka pandai memperkirakan seberapa sulit tim unggul akan menang. **ChatGPT** lebih kuat dalam menganalisis dinamika dan kesulitan pertandingan. Misalnya, ia memperkirakan Jepang dan Pantai Gading akan memberikan perlawanan sengit meski kalah, yang terbukti benar. Namun, ChatGPT cenderung ragu untuk memprediksi kejutan besar. Kegagalan kolektif terjadi pada pertandingan Jerman vs Paraguay. Semua model AI meramalkan kemenangan mudah Jerman, tetapi Paraguay berhasil membawa pertandingan ke adu penalti dan mengeliminasi Jerman. **Kesimpulan:** Setiap model AI memiliki keunggulannya masing-masing. DeepSeek dan Gemini paling berani dan akurat dalam memprediksi kejutan. Grok dan Qwen stabil untuk prediksi skor pada pertandingan favorit. ChatGPT unggul dalam analisis proses pertandingan. Pemilihan model bergantung pada kebutuhan: apakah untuk prediksi skor/kejutan atau untuk memahami alur pertandingan.
