Bitcoin News Today: AI-Powered Governance and PoY Rewards Drive Bitcoin Swift's Final Presale Push

Bitcoin Swift’s Stage 6 presale is entering its final stretch, with over $1 million in tokens sold and more than 4,000 participants on board [1]. The presale, which began in mid-August, is part of a 64-day accelerated fundraising campaign and is currently priced at $6 per token, with the next stage expected to increase to $7. The token’s projected launch price is set at $15, highlighting the urgency for investors to act before the presale concludes on September 18 [1].

Participants in the current Stage 6 are earning an 83% annual percentage yield (APY), which will decrease to 71% in the next stage. To date, over $110,000 in programmable PoY rewards have already been distributed to investors at the conclusion of previous presale stages [1]. The project’s reward system is designed to provide early returns even before the token is listed on exchanges, a model that has drawn attention from analysts and early adopters.

In tandem with PoY rewards, Bitcoin Swift has introduced a limited-time tiered bonus program, offering participants up to 100% bonus tokens based on investment amounts. This structure aims to encourage broader participation while rewarding larger contributors. The project’s technical foundation is built on the Solana blockchain, which allows for high-speed, low-cost transactions, with the ambition of transitioning to a native blockchain by 2026 [1].

The project’s governance model is another key differentiator, featuring a system of AI-assisted proposal screening, quadratic voting tied to decentralized identities, and a security council to prevent malicious activity. These features are intended to ensure long-term value preservation and community-driven decision-making [1]. Additionally, Bitcoin Swift is developing a USD-pegged stablecoin, BTC3E, backed by BTC3 tokens, with AI-driven price monitoring and automated liquidation mechanisms to maintain the peg [1].

Simultaneously, Ethereum has shown strong performance against Bitcoin, with the ETH/BTC ratio reaching a 2025 high of 0.0368 [2]. This rise reflects growing institutional and retail interest in Ethereum, particularly in derivatives markets where open interest has reached a 14-month peak. Ethereum’s weekly spot trading volume now outpaces Bitcoin’s by nearly threefold, signaling a shift in market preference [2]. Analysts suggest that Ethereum’s relative strength is driven by both its utility as a smart contract platform and growing adoption by institutional investors, including through ETFs.

Ethereum’s EIP-1559 upgrade, which introduced a token-burning mechanism, has also helped stabilize its supply, keeping it relatively flat around 120 million ETH over the past two years [3]. While this contrasts with Bitcoin’s deflationary model, Ethereum’s flexibility allows it to adapt to network activity, making it a compelling asset for certain investors. However, both cryptocurrencies remain highly volatile compared to traditional inflation hedges like gold or equities [3].

Bitcoin’s fixed supply cap of 21 million and its historical role as a store of value continue to position it as a preferred asset for inflation hedging, despite its volatility [3]. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s broader utility in decentralized finance (DeFi) and its institutional adoption are strengthening its case as a strategic investment. The growing competition between the two cryptocurrencies highlights evolving investor sentiment and the maturing crypto market [2].

With Bitcoin Swift’s presale closing soon and Ethereum surging against Bitcoin, the crypto landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. Institutional interest, regulatory clarity, and technological innovation are all converging to shape the next phase of the market, offering new opportunities for both retail and institutional participants.
