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%.

Bitwsie 首席投资官:STRC 大跌是底部信号,牛市将在秋季开启

比特币近期跌破6万美元,创年内新低,本轮下跌的核心导火索是Strategy公司发行的优先股STRC价格暴跌。STRC本是一款设计为维持100美元面值并提供高股息的产品,但随着比特币及MSTR股价走弱,市场担忧其支付股息能力,导致STRC价格一度跌至75美元。 尽管Strategy公司资产负债表稳健,持有大量比特币和现金,但市场仍恐慌其可能暂停股息。对此,公司公布了新运营框架:将出售部分比特币用于支付股息,允许STRC价格自由浮动,并可能进行回购。此举意味着Strategy从过去单一的比特币大买家,转变为根据市场情况动态买卖的角色。 文章指出,STRC的剧烈波动是市场周期尾部的典型特征,类似于以往牛市后期杠杆工具出清的过程。这种不匹配资金(追求稳定收益却投入高波动资产)的离场,是市场探明底部的必要环节。 对于未来,作者认为比特币下一轮的主要买家将转向全球机构资金(如银行、养老金、主权基金等),并给出了几个市场见底的观察信号:MSTR股价相对资产净值出现折价、加密恐惧贪婪指数降至极端恐慌、比特币合约资金费率持续为负。当前市场正处于去杠杆和出清阶段,作者预计底部已经临近,新一轮牛市可能在今年秋季开启。

ENS 创始人想从 DAO 手里「夺权」

6月29日,ENS社区关于将ENS DAO安全委员会一票否决权续期两年的提案进入链上投票。创始人Nick Johnson动用大量持仓投出反对票,使反对票激增至355万票,远超最初支持票数。 安全委员会成立于2024年7月,旨在通过4/8多签否决恶意提案,以保护DAO超3.5亿美元金库,其权限每两年需续期一次。Nick的反对源于对当前治理状况的担忧。自2025年11月起,他多次指出DAO内部存在政治斗争、有能力者流失、决策权落入经验不足或利益不一致者之手等问题。ENS DAO秘书Limes也曾提议关闭部分工作组,批评提案沦为互相支持的“游戏”。 6月19日,ENS COO Katherine Wu提出改革方案,计划将日常运营、金库管理等移交重组的ENS基金会,并设立董事会以增强执行力,同时承诺DAO保留核心协议治理权。此提案引发争议,批评者认为这削弱了代币持有者对金库的控制,违背了DAO初衷。 Nick投下反对票被视为其对DAO治理模式改革的明确表态。他解释反对是因担心现有委员会权力缺乏制衡,且否决权可能被用于政治目的。随后,Katherine提出了修正案,包括提高否决门槛至5/8、增加权力限制和成员移除机制等。 近年来ENS协议收入持续下滑,从2023年的超1000万美元降至2025年的不足200万美元。在行业下行压力下,巨额金库的管理效率成为焦点。Nick凭借其持股份额有能力推动变革,但其推动的集权化改革也使其面临必须证明新基金会能比DAO做得更好的压力。ENS核心团队如何解决治理与效率的平衡问题,成为下一步关键。
