With extreme greed gripping the crypto market, digital asset prices are getting another major boost. Bitcoin has climbed to $79,600, up 10.5% over the past week; the total crypto market value now stands at $2.69 trillion, reflecting a 2.34% daily gain; and the Fear and Greed Index has printed a score of 82. Open interest in the derivatives market has topped $441 billion, with $355.8 million in liquidations recorded, including $232 million in liquidated shorts. Trading volume also rose 11% to $863.52 billion, underscoring a strong battle against resistance.
Traders are also watching Friday’s $6.4 billion Bitcoin options expiry, a cluster that could be large enough to pull Bitcoin toward $80,000. While listed coins face the latest volatility, crypto presales continue to draw interest, with four projects identified by analysts as top performers: Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), Maxi Doge (MAXI), LiquidChain (LIQUID), and SUBBD (SUBBD).
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is building a faster Bitcoin Layer 2. Maxi Doge (MAXI) is riding the meme coin bid following Dogecoin’s bounce. LiquidChain (LIQUID) is a new Layer 3 aimed at shared liquidity across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. SUBBD (SUBBD) is an AI-powered creator platform designed to reduce intermediaries in the creator-fan relationship.
For buyers looking for Q4 upside of up to, or possibly beyond, 50x gains, these projects are among the first names to watch.
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER)
Bitcoin still settles slowly and remains expensive and inflexible to use, but Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) says it aims to improve the user experience without requiring fundamental changes to the base chain. The project is a Bitcoin Layer 2 that runs the Solana Virtual Machine and anchors its own state back to Bitcoin. Users will lock BTC through a canonical bridge, receive a wrapped representation on the Layer 2, and then move value, stake, or interact with decentralized applications with near-instant finality and much lower fees. That matters because the current Bitcoin rally is drawing renewed attention to what holders can actually do with BTC beyond storage, and Layer 2 networks are increasingly being evaluated on whether they can make that activity cheaper and faster without changing Bitcoin itself.

The native token, HYPER, will be used to pay Layer 2 gas fees, earn staking rewards, and take part in future governance processes. Total supply is fixed at 21 billion, allocated as 30% for development, 25% for treasury, 20% for marketing, 15% for rewards, and 10% for listings.
The public HYPER presale is offering tokens at $0.0136853, a 19% increase for the sale’s earliest buyers, and has raised more than $33 million toward a near-term goal of $33.5 million. The next HYPER price increase is less than two days away, and staking is live from purchase at a 35% APY.
Bitcoin Hyper is attracting buyers while BTC repeatedly tests $80,000 and ETF inflows continue. As Bitcoin users are likely to keep demanding cheaper payments, DeFi access, and use cases such as games and meme coins, the project’s Layer 2 could become a destination for that activity, with some analysts suggesting the token could reach up to 50x gains after launch.
Maxi Doge (MAXI)
Dogecoin’s 14% weekly gain has sparked renewed interest in meme coins, and Maxi Doge (MAXI) has emerged as one of the leading contenders, with close to $5 million raised in its presale so far. MAXI has a fixed supply of 150.24 billion tokens, and its planned utilities include daily staking reward payments at 64% APY, along with exclusive community contests and futures platform events after listing.
MAXI is priced at $0.0002835, and the raise has reached $4.84 million, putting the project close to the $5 million mark. Token allocations assign 40% to marketing, 25% to the Maxi Fund, 15% to development, 15% to liquidity, and 5% to staking. Buyers can stake during the sale and receive the 64% APY immediately.

Coinsult and SolidProof have audited the contract and reported that the team cannot mint additional tokens.
As Dogecoin continues its rally and the wider meme coin market strengthens again, MAXI’s low fully diluted starting point suggests the token could move sharply after listing on DEX and CEX venues. On that basis, Maxi Doge is being positioned as one of the crypto presales still open to traders seeking a mix of humor and high upside potential.
LiquidChain (LIQUID)
Crypto capital remains fragmented, especially across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Bitcoin is widely treated as Web3’s reserve asset, Ethereum holds the deepest DeFi ecosystem, and Solana is a leading choice for users focused on speed. Moving value between these networks often relies on wrapped tokens and added trust assumptions. LiquidChain (LIQUID) is a Layer 3 network designed to bring those three chains into a single execution environment.
The project says it pairs a high-throughput virtual machine with proofs that verify Bitcoin UTXOs, Ethereum states, and Solana accounts, then settles trades against shared liquidity pools.

LIQUID is the gas, staking, and governance token for the Layer 3 network. Total supply is 11,800,000,100. Allocations are set at 35% for development, 32.5% for marketing through LiquidLabs, 15% for AquaVault for partnerships and community work, 10% for rewards, and 7.5% for listings.
The public sale is in its late stages, with the token offered at $0.01494 and more than $950,000 raised. A buy-and-stake option is available for presale buyers, with an APY of up to 1,196%, though that rate is expected to decline as more tokens enter the pool, giving earlier participants an advantage.
With Solana back above $104, Ethereum up more than 10% over the past seven days, and Bitcoin moving toward $80,000, the three major assets tied to LiquidChain are participating in the latest wave of bullish sentiment. For an early-stage project still below $1 million in funds raised, LIQUID is being presented as a rare opportunity tied to what the team describes as the next stage of Web3 infrastructure.
SUBBD (SUBBD)
Most crypto tokens need to create a reason for users to spend them, but SUBBD (SUBBD) is the native token of a platform that already connects subscription content creators with their audiences. The platform uses AI-powered tools for creators in a market the team estimates at $85 billion.
Creators will have access to tools for building AI profiles, generating voice notes, editing and sending video, and running automated livestreams. Fans will be able to use SUBBD for exclusive access, discounts, and other perks. The platform already says it has more than 2,000 attached creators with a combined audience of over 250 million fans.
The SUBBD token has a total supply of 1 billion, allocated as 30% for marketing, 20% for product development, 18% for exchange liquidity, 10% for airdrops, 7% for community rewards, 5% for staking, 5% for treasury, and 5% for creator rewards. The live sale has raised $1.58 million, with the token priced at $0.05766 after starting near $0.055. Staking rewards are fixed at 20% APY, and both SolidProof and Coinsult have audited the contract.
With AI names back in focus and the broader market showing extreme greed, the project’s $1.58 million raise compared with an $85 billion category estimate still leaves significant room if SUBBD reaches even a small portion of its potential audience. For buyers looking at presales tied to a product that is already easy to understand, SUBBD is being positioned as a notable option.
