According to the report, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs registered $545M of net outflows over one trading week, reflecting a risk-off tone among large allocators. Capital is meanwhile rotating to infrastructure plays, with LiquidChain's $LIQUID presale surpassing $526K and pricing at $0.0135, targeting cross-chain liquidity across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

The U.S. Treasury has clarified it does not have the legal authority to bail out Bitcoin or the wider crypto market, underscoring the absence of a government safety net for digital assets. Against this backdrop, investors are pivoting toward infrastructure projects like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which uses the Solana Virtual Machine to bring high-speed smart contracts to Bitcoin and has raised over $31.2M in its presale with notable whale participation.

Bitcoin’s slide back to the $70,000 support level sparked about $775M in leveraged liquidations and sharply reduced overheated open interest. As capital rotates away from high-beta speculative assets, investors are favoring infrastructure projects such as BMIC, which focuses on post-quantum wallet security and has raised over $432K at a token price of $0.049474. This divergence between Bitcoin’s price action and BMIC’s presale inflows suggests some market participants are hedging volatility through early-stage, utility-driven plays.

During a sharp Bitcoin downturn earlier this week, on-chain data indicates institutional holders of spot ETFs largely maintained their positions while many leveraged retail traders were flushed out. The drawdown exposed the cost and complexity of fragmented liquidity across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, pushing attention toward LiquidChain, a Layer 3 solution using a deploy-once architecture and a Cross-Chain VM. Despite broad market volatility, the $LIQUID token presale has already raised more than $526K at a price of $0.0135, highlighting investor interest in infrastructure that unifies major chains into a single execution layer.

Heading into the mid‑2025 to 2026 window, analysts map potential paths for Bitcoin toward $180K–$200K if $70k holds and adoption broadens, while risks include a sustained break below $80K or <$85k structures. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Hyper's presale page reports $31.2M raised at $0.0136751 as it pursues SVM-enabled Layer 2 throughput on Bitcoin.
