Geoff Kendrick, an analyst at Standard Chartered Bank, believes that Bitcoin could hit $200K within 2025.
As Kendrick has a track record of making crypto predictions, he suggests that Bitcoin will surpass the $135K price level very soon and reach $200K by the end of 2025, signaling a massive rally within about a year.
At the time of this report, Bitcoin is trading at $122K3. With its ATH at $124,517 (August 14, 2025), $BTC is already very close to breaking its previous record again.
So, what are the catalysts driving this price action? Bitcoin’s October rally is being dubbed ‘Uptober,’ as the month has historically been bullish for $BTC.
With Bitcoin already knocking on the door of a new ATH, the current market backdrop is fueling excitement for projects building on top of the network.
One standing out now is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) — a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution that’s currently in presale and rapidly gaining traction.
Kendrick believes that Bitcoin is positively correlated with US Treasury term premiums. The recent US shutdown has pushed bond premiums higher, signalling risk and uncertainty in traditional markets.
This uncertainty has led investors to flock towards alternative assets, such as Bitcoin.
On top of that, Polymarket odds have suggested a 7% chance that Bitcoin will surpass $200,000, a 70% chance that Bitcoin will go above $130K, and only a 14% chance for the coin to drop below $90K this year.
What are the catalysts for this price rally this October?
From September 29 to October 3, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a staggering $3.2B in net inflows. This four-day streak highlights growing investor conviction and reflect that the market momentum is firmly tilted in $BTC’s favor.
Adding to this surge, Chainalysis data reveals that 2025 is seeing record-level institutional participation with players stepping in not just to speculate, but to build infrastructure, supply liquidity, and make long-term strategic allocations.
Echoing this view, Thomas Murray also highlights that 2025 is a turning point where digital assets are ‘legitimately’ part of institutional portfolios.
As retail and institutional confidence rises, the stage is being set for stronger inflows and, ultimately, more green candles in the near future.
But what about early crypto opportunities that won’t drain your bank account as much as Bitcoin will? One project in particular has attracted over $1M in whale buys this last week – Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER).
Bitcoin was the first — the digital gold that started it all, and it remains one of the most secure and trusted networks globally. However, as the industry evolved, Bitcoin’s original design proved inadequate, resulting in slow transactions, high fees, and limited scalability.
That’s where Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) comes into play. As the first Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), it combines the Bitcoin’s reliability with Solana’s speed for a killer combo.
The engine behind it is the Canonical Bridge. It lets you deposit $BTC and mint an equivalent amount of wrapped $BTC on the L2, which you can use for dApps, smart contracts, and upcoming ecosystem features.
And owning $HYPER unlocks new use cases such as seamless interaction with DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, dApps, and even gaming ecosystems.
Having already raised $21.2M, $HYPER is quickly becoming one of the hottest presales in 2025. If our Bitcoin Hyper price prediction plays out and the token climbs to $0.15 by 2026 from the current $0.013055, a $500 investment could grow into $5,740, and that’s before factoring in staking (now at over 50%).
That same $500 investment could grow into over $6,000-$7,000 (but the APY will decrease as more people stake tokens). Whales are already circling, with purchases worth $379K and $180.6K yesterday. In total, Whales have bought over $1.5M $HYPER this week.
Join the $HYPER presale before it ends in Q4 2025!

Two major bitcoin mining companies released their September production reports on Friday. MARA Holdings and CleanSpark both showed increased bitcoin holdings despite different approaches to asset management during the month.
MARA Holdings mined 736 bitcoin in September. The production figure represents a 4% increase over August’s output. The company successfully won 218 blocks on the Bitcoin network throughout the month.
The mining firm operates as both a bitcoin producer and treasury company. MARA disclosed it was a net seller of bitcoin during September. The sales were part of the company’s digital asset management strategy.
Despite the selling activity, MARA’s bitcoin reserves grew during the period. The company’s holdings increased from 50,639 BTC at the end of August to 52,850 BTC by September 30. MARA now holds the second-largest publicly traded corporate bitcoin treasury, trailing only Strategy’s 640,031 BTC position.
CleanSpark reported producing 629 bitcoin during September. The Las Vegas-based company averaged approximately 21 coins mined per day. CleanSpark sold 445 BTC during the month, generating roughly $49 million in proceeds.
The company’s bitcoin sales averaged $109,568 per coin. These sales provided capital for ongoing operations and expansion activities. CleanSpark’s operational hashrate maintained an average of 45.6 exahashes per second during the month.
The mining operation achieved fleet efficiency of 16.07 joules per terahash. By month’s end, CleanSpark’s self-mined bitcoin holdings exceeded 13,000 BTC. The company continues using bitcoin as a primary treasury asset in its financial strategy.
CleanSpark has pursued growth through multiple channels over the past year. The company acquired GRIID Infrastructure to boost mining capacity. CleanSpark currently has 1.03 gigawatts of power under contract with 808 megawatts actively deployed.
The company secured $650 million through convertible notes. CleanSpark also obtained $400 million in bitcoin-backed credit facilities. An additional $200 million credit capacity was added in September.
CleanSpark CEO Matt Schultz described September as a monumental month for the business. The company announced new leadership appointments and strengthened its operational capabilities. CleanSpark positions itself among the largest self-operated mining companies heading into fiscal 2026.
The company implemented a derivatives program to manage bitcoin price volatility. This program helps fund operations while providing downside protection. CleanSpark wrapped up its fiscal year with record production levels and an improved balance sheet.
MARA shares traded slightly lower in Friday’s U.S. market session. The company continues growing its bitcoin treasury while actively managing its digital asset portfolio.
CleanSpark shares climbed 5.7% in early Friday trading. The stock traded around $16.00 per share. The company enters its new fiscal year with expanded infrastructure and more than 13,000 bitcoin in reserves.

In this day and age, digital assets are taking over the financial world, and companies like CleanSpark and MicroStrategy are at the forefront, strategically acquiring Bitcoin. This isn’t just about buying crypto, but about using it as a tool to boost operational efficiency and shareholder value. Let’s dive into how these industry leaders are navigating the often volatile waters of the crypto market.
Bitcoin is now a big player in corporate finance, and more companies are looking to add it to their financial arsenal. CleanSpark’s recent purchase of 184 BTC, bringing their total to 13,011 BTC, is a perfect example. By increasing their treasury reserves, these companies are not just shoring up their market presence; they are also showing confidence in Bitcoin’s potential, even when cryptocurrency prices are all over the place. This aligns with the rise of startup banking crypto, where digital assets are used to optimize financial operations.
CleanSpark isn’t just hoarding Bitcoin; they’re also buying back shares and taking out a $650 million convertible note at 0% interest. This is all part of a smart treasury management strategy aimed at boosting shareholder value. Startups can take a page from this playbook if they want to get a leg up in the B2B crypto payment platform space. Using similar tactics will help them manage their cash effectively while keeping investors interested. Plus, offering crypto payroll for startups could give them an edge, allowing them to hire globally with crypto and streamline payments.
Being operationally efficient is crucial in the unpredictable world of crypto. CleanSpark’s emphasis on managing risk through diverse treasury strategies is something to think about. Keeping a mix of crypto and cash can help companies avoid the pitfalls of price swings and liquidity issues. Investing in solid crypto treasury management practices, including secure custody solutions and strong cybersecurity, is a must to protect assets and keep operations running smoothly.
As Bitcoin solidifies its status as a legitimate financial asset, its place in corporate finance is bound to grow. Companies will need to be mindful of the volatility that comes with investing in cryptocurrency. Strategies like stablecoin treasury for businesses could help stabilize things, allowing companies to keep their cash flow steady while also enjoying the perks of digital assets. The outlook for Bitcoin in corporate finance seems bright, with increasing adoption likely pushing for more innovation and integration into mainstream finance.
To wrap things up, the strategic Bitcoin purchases by CleanSpark and MicroStrategy offer lessons for businesses aiming to enhance their operational efficiency and shareholder value. Adopting savvy financial strategies, maintaining solid risk management, and embracing cryptocurrency payments can set companies up for sustainable growth in a digital-first economy. As corporate finance shifts, those who adapt and leverage Bitcoin’s potential may just lead the way in their industries.

The Teucrium XRP ETF became active not because the Securities and Exchange Commission approved it, but because the agency let the clock run out during a shutdown. This happened as the SEC announced that:-
“Effective October 1 and until further notice, the agency will have a very limited number of staff members available. The SEC has staff available to respond to emergency situations with a focus on the market integrity and investor protection components of our mission.”
That notice meant that ETF filings would move forward or stall depending on the law, not on active review. Crypto strategist Chad Steingraber captured the point clearly when he posted:-
“The Teucrium XRP ETF was not approved by the SEC directly. They reached the deadline and the SEC didn’t ‘approve or deny’ the listing. So it was automatically allowed. ‘Silence is compliance.’”
Financial journalist Eleanor Terrett explained why this happened. Teucrium’s product holds Treasuries, cash, and swap receivables and was filed under the 40 Act, which means the SEC didn’t need to approve it actively.
Eleanor added that the Commission typically lets futures-style ETFs go effective after the statutory waiting period passes. By contrast, spot crypto ETFs are filed under the 33 Act as commodity trusts and need explicit approval before trading, which will not happen until the shutdown ends and the agency returns to full capacity.
That breakdown shows the dividing line. Futures-style ETFs can run on autopilot after the statutory time limit, but spot products like XRP under the 33 Act can’t trade until SEC staff review and declare the registration effective. Because the agency is on limited operations, those S‑1s are not being processed.
Meanwhile, the SEC’s own notice said all non-excepted employees are subject to furlough, official travel is canceled or postponed, training during the appropriations lapse must be canceled or postponed, and paid leave is voided.
Any employee excepted must report for duty, but if they are sick their status would be furloughed. The agency emphasized that employees who have not been designated as excepted may not volunteer to work without pay, saying that such voluntary services “are a violation of the Antideficiency Act and will not be permitted under any circumstances.”
Despite the freeze, filings keep piling up. More than 30 crypto ETF applications hit the SEC this week. REX-Osprey filed prospectuses for 21 crypto funds on October 3, and Defiance lodged six more the same day.
Bloomberg’s James Seyffart posted about the filings on X, saying that REX-Osprey’s lineup covers single-asset strategies tied to AAVE, ADA, ATOM, and ENA, some with staking features. Defiance’s submissions included six leveraged funds.
Three were long on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, and three offered short exposure. All six aim for 3x leverage. Seyffart commented that “3x isn’t really allowed by the new leveraged ETP rules,” saying the issuer appears to be “targeting” 3x through options to get around the standard 2x cap.
This is all coming after the SEC approved generic listing standards for crypto-related exchange-traded products on September 17 across Cboe, Nasdaq, and NYSE Arca, as Cryptopolitan reported. Those rules were meant to speed up spot crypto listings by removing 19b‑4 approvals and moving the bottleneck to the S‑1 filings.
Fellow Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas wrote on September 29 that altcoin ETF approvals are “really 100% now,” because the old 19b‑4 “clock” is moot and S‑1s just need Corp Fin’s green light. But now, as Eric put it, “everything is on ice… it’s like a rain delay,” and issuers must wait until the agency reopens.
