Bitcoin News Today: Kaspa Surges 15% Amid Binance Listing Anticipation

Kaspa (KAS) has been performing well in the current market, with a gain of over 15% in the past seven days and is now trading around $0.09. While many altcoins are surging, KAS is maintaining its momentum and holding its ground.

The crypto community has been eagerly awaiting the listing of Kaspa on Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange. Despite being listed on multiple mid-sized exchanges, Kaspa has yet to appear on Binance, which has become more noticeable as interest in Kaspa continues to grow. The Kaspa community has been vocal about this for months, driven by the project’s rapid rise and its blockDAG architecture and decentralized mining model. Supporters believe KAS has staying power and is more than just a short-term hype coin. Given the project’s strong fundamentals and expanding user base, many are confident that a Binance listing is only a matter of time.

If Binance announces support for Kaspa during this current bullish wave, it could have an immediate impact on the token’s price. Historically, Binance listings boost visibility and liquidity, often resulting in a short-term surge. For KAS, that could mean a jump toward the $0.13–$0.15 zone, especially if the current uptrend continues. If momentum carries over, Kaspa could retest $0.20 shortly after listing, depending on broader market conditions. However, it’s also common to see a temporary cooldown after an exchange pump. In that case, traders may look to $0.10 or $0.12 as new support zones.

While Kaspa pushes toward potential exchange news, another project is starting to become widely popular – Bitcoin Hyper. Built as a Layer 2 network for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Hyper is designed to reduce transaction times and fees while enabling smart contracts and dApps. The presale has already raised over $3 million, with strong volume in just a few weeks. Bitcoin Hyper is currently in its presale phase, allowing early investors to buy HYPER tokens at discounted prices before exchange listings and mainnet launch. Buyers can use ETH, SOL, USDT, BNB, or even a credit card, and manage their holdings through non-custodial wallets. Several key features are driving attention, including discounted price phases, staking rewards, and a limited supply per round. HYPER tokens will be used for gas fees, governance, and staking rewards within the ecosystem.

At its core, Bitcoin Hyper aims to make Bitcoin faster and more scalable by leveraging Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) technology. This allows Solana-level speed and smart contract support to function on top of the Bitcoin network. A canonical bridge handles Bitcoin deposits and issues wrapped BTC on the L2 network. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs) secure the system, and assets can easily move back to the Bitcoin mainnet. This brings a mix of scalability and decentralization while maintaining security, offering a promising way to build on top of Bitcoin without compromising core principles.
