Why Bitcoin Hyper Is June’s Top Crypto Presale, According to Analysts

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is quickly emerging as June’s breakout crypto presale, and the buzz is building fast. With over $555,306 already raised and growing by the hour, leading crypto analysts are calling it one of the most promising crypto launches of June 2025.

But what’s fueling this rapid momentum? Unlike many projects that piggyback off Bitcoin’s name, Bitcoin Hyper introduces something new: a true Layer 2 blockchain purpose-built to scale Bitcoin, cut down transaction costs, and finally bring usability to the world’s most valuable digital asset.

What Is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER)?

At its core, Bitcoin Hyper is a dedicated Layer 2 chain designed to do what Bitcoin alone has struggled to achieve—process fast, low-cost transactions without compromising decentralization.

Rather than tweaking Bitcoin from within, Bitcoin Hyper takes a fresh approach. It’s built from the ground up as a fully functional blockchain that connects to Bitcoin, helping it move beyond being just a long-term store of value.

Currently, $HYPER is available at $0.011775, the lowest price in the presale cycle. But here’s the catch: prices increase every two days, meaning early investors stand to benefit the most. With each tier, $HYPER becomes more expensive, rewarding those who move quickly.

Why $HYPER Is Gaining Momentum

Several factors are fueling the growing attention around Bitcoin Hyper:

  • It’s Bitcoin’s first dedicated Layer 2 with its own ecosystem and tokenomics. 
  • The presale is structured with rising price tiers, creating strong early buying pressure.
  • The project addresses Bitcoin’s well-known limitations: slow speeds and high fees.
  • Analysts are closely watching $HYPER’s rise, comparing it to early opportunities seen in Ethereum Layer 2 projects.

In a market full of hype and recycled ideas, Bitcoin Hyper is positioning itself as a utility-first solution with real-world potential.

Bitcoin Works as a Store of Value, But That’s Not Enough

Looking For The Best Crypto Presale Before Summer? Bitcoin Hyper Could Be It - FinanceFeeds

There’s no debating Bitcoin’s success as a digital store of value. Trading at over $104,000, it has proven its strength in the face of inflation, fiat devaluation, and market uncertainty.

But Bitcoin’s day-to-day usability is still stuck in the past. High fees and long confirmation times have pushed everyday use cases to the sidelines. While Lightning Network and other scaling solutions have made incremental progress, adoption remains limited.

Bitcoin Hyper aims to change that narrative by making Bitcoin fast, cheap, and usable again.

The Bigger Vision for Bitcoin Hyper

Bitcoin Hyper doesn’t want to replace Bitcoin. It’s designed to complement it, acting as a high-speed layer where transactions can settle quickly while preserving the integrity of the Bitcoin base layer.

With native token support, scalable infrastructure, and a strong community-driven presale, $HYPER could become a key building block in the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.

Whether it’s enabling microtransactions, DeFi protocols, or everyday payments, Bitcoin Hyper is built for adoption—not just speculation.

Final Take

Bitcoin Hyper is more than just another presale, it’s a ground-floor opportunity to be part of something big, before the rest of the market catches up.

The price is still at its lowest level—but not for long. As momentum builds and the next pricing tier approaches, acting now could mean getting in before the crowd.

Explore the $HYPER presale today and be part of what could be the next major evolution in Bitcoin’s journey.

Senate Approved Free Funeral Services Act for the “Poor”

Senate Approved Free Funeral Services Act for the “Poor”

The Philippine Senate has approved Senate Bill No. 2965, known as the Free Funeral Services Act, which aims to provide free funeral services to poor families in crisis situations.

Made for the “Poor”

Families considered “poor” under this act are those whose income falls below the poverty threshold as defined by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) or who cannot meet basic needs such as food, health, education, and housing. Additionally, families in crisis situations, including those affected by calamities or disasters, are eligible. Qualified families will receive a comprehensive funeral package that covers:

  • Preparation of funeral documents
  • Embalming services
  • Interment or burial services
  • Transportation of remains
  • Cremation and inurnment services
  • Provision of a casket, urn, or venue, as applicable.

These services will be provided by accredited funeral establishments across the country. Each establishment is required to offer a uniform indigent funeral package, regardless of location.

How to Avail the Services

To access the free funeral services, the bereaved family or representative must present the following:

  1. Valid identification card of the claimant or beneficiary
  2. Death certificate issued by the hospital, city/municipal health office, or a certification from the tribal chieftain
  3. Funeral contract signed by the family representative, the funeral establishment, and an authorized Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) personnel
  4. Social case study prepared by a registered social worker

The DSWD will lead the implementation of this measure, ensuring that eligible families receive the services. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will monitor and regulate market prices of funeral services, including caskets and urns, to prevent excessive pricing.

While the Senate has approved the bill, it is currently pending in the House of Representatives. Once enacted into law, the Free Funeral Services Act will provide significant relief to poor families during times of loss.

F4 Is Reuniting in 2026—And Yes, It’s The OG Meteor Garden Boys!

F4 Is Reuniting in 2026—And Yes, It’s The OG Meteor Garden Boys!

Oh, baby, baby, babyyyyy…

Nagdako ba sad pud ka sa F4 era? Well, get ready to scream like it’s 2003 all over again, kay F4 is officially reuniting in 2026! Yes, Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Vanness Wu, and Ken Chu are coming back together, and we’re all suddenly 13 again, secretly watching Meteor Garden reruns on ABS-CBN after school while pretending we weren’t hopelessly in love with Dao Ming Si.

According to the latest news from Taiwanese entertainment media, the reunion will mark the 25th anniversary of Meteor Garden, the hit drama that basically raised an entire generation of Asian drama fans (a.k.a. us). While the full details haven’t been dropped yet, early reports say we can expect a reunion concert, fan meetings, and a possible mini-series or documentary.

A Quick Throwback for the Youngins in the Room

Meteor Garden premiered in 2001 and introduced us to the iconic F4, four rich, chaotic, and emotionally unavailable boys who ruled Ying De University, and our teenage hearts. The show was based on the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango, but it was the Taiwanese adaptation that hit different here in the Philippines. The entire country literally paused every afternoon just to find out if Shan Cai would end up with Dao Ming Si or Hua Ze Lei.

Will They Come to the Philippines?

As of now, there’s no confirmed date or location for any PH leg of the reunion, but given how massive their fandom still is here, we’d bet our Meteor Garden OST that Manila (and hopefully Cebu!) will be part of the tour.

So to all the certified F4 stans who proudly wore butterfly clips, low-rise jeans, and learned Mandarin just to sing along,  this one’s for us.

LIST: Top Elected Officials of Cebu 2025

New names, same job descriptions, new tactics and strategies to lead Cebu…

After a highly anticipated and action-packed midterm election season, Cebu now welcomes a fresh batch of elected officials who will lead the province and its major cities until 2028. From surprise upsets to electoral returns, the results show a shift in public opinion, and for many, a hope for change.

So what can we expect in the next few years under their leadership?

Cebu Provincial Government

Governor: Pamela “Pam” Baricuatro (PDP-Laban)

Pam Baricuatro’s win against veteran Governor Gwen Garcia wasn’t just a political upset—it was a statement. Known for her heart-on-the-ground kind of leadership, Pam brings with her years of hands-on work through the Simply Share Foundation, a nonprofit she founded that fights hunger and helps feed kids in the Visayas. She’s also been vocal about pushing for transparency in government spending. On top of that, she’s focused on boosting support for farmers and improving healthcare across the province, two things that really hit close to home for many Cebuanos.

Vice Governor: Glenn Soco (1Cebu)

Glenn Soco is back at the Capitol, bringing with him his signature mix of business savvy and public service. As the founder of Coffee Dream, he helped put local coffee on the map while also supporting homegrown farmers. But he’s not just about business, he’s long been involved in community work, from educational drives to disaster response efforts. He’s also pushing for transparency in government, advocating for systems that let the public easily access how budgets are being used. Balik serbisyo na pud si Glenn, and this time, he’s got even bigger plans for the province.

Cebu City

Mayor: Nestor Archival Sr. (BOPK)

Nestor Archival Sr. is taking over Cebu City Hall with a vision rooted in sustainability and innovation. Known for his green advocacy, Archival built the iconic Archival Eco-House, a solar-powered, self-sufficient home that’s become a blueprint for eco-friendly living. During his time as a councilor, he earned national recognition as one of the Ten Most Outstanding Councilors of the Philippines, proving he walks the talk in public service. He’s also big on health and wellness, openly sharing his own journey toward a healthier lifestyle. With Archival now leading the city, expect greener, cleaner, and more mindful governance ahead.

Vice Mayor: Tomas Osmeña (BOPK)

Tomas Osmeña is back in the game, and if there’s one thing Cebuanos know about him, it’s that he always delivers big. His most iconic legacy? The South Road Properties (SRP), a massive 300-hectare reclamation project that transformed Cebu City’s economic landscape. But beyond infrastructure, Osmeña is known for his direct, no-frills approach to public service. He’s one of the few local officials who connected with constituents on social media and even gave out his personal mobile number (yes, really) so people could reach him directly. From pushing for 24/7 access to the city’s public library to acting on citizen feedback, Osmeña has always kept the people at the heart of his governance.

Mandaue City

Mayor: Thadeo Jovito “Jonkie” Ouano (LAKAS)

Jonkie Ouano is stepping up to lead Mandaue City, carrying on his family’s political legacy with a clear focus on unity and progress. He’s hands-on when it comes to community engagement, often seen joining local events and connecting with residents to understand their needs. When it comes to city development, Jonkie pushes for better infrastructure that can boost economic growth and improve everyday life for Mandaueños. He’s also big on empowering the youth, backing programs that encourage young people to get involved in governance and community service, building a stronger, more active generation for the future.

Vice Mayor: Glenn Bercede (LAKAS)

Glenn Bercede is bringing his steady hand and commitment to fair governance in Mandaue City. As the city council presiding officer, he’s known for keeping things balanced, especially with a council made up of different political groups, making sure decisions are fair and inclusive. When disaster strikes, Glenn steps up, like when he helped coordinate relief efforts for fire victims in Sitio Paradise, Barangay Looc. Beyond crisis management, he’s also behind community projects focused on making life better for everyday Mandaueños, showing that he’s all about serving the people.

Lapu-Lapu City

Mayor: Cindi King-Chan (PFP)

Cindi King-Chan takes the mayor’s seat bringing her solid experience in tourism and public service to the forefront. She’s been a big player in promoting Lapu-Lapu City as a top global destination, putting the spotlight on local events that attract visitors from near and far. On the healthcare front, she’s pushing for a dialysis center at the city hospital that will offer free treatment to indigent patients, talk about real community care. Plus, she’s all about speeding up infrastructure development with plans to set up a dedicated Lapu-Lapu City District Engineering Office, making sure public works get done faster and better for the city’s progress.

Vice Mayor: Celsi Sitoy (PFP)

Celsi Sitoy steps into the vice mayor role with a clear focus on making legislation work for the people and improving community welfare. He’s all about pushing ordinances that drive Lapu-Lapu City’s growth and development forward. On top of that, he stays connected with constituents, listening to their concerns and promoting a government that’s open and inclusive. Education is close to his heart too; he focuses on programs that open up more opportunities for the city’s youth to learn and thrive.

Cebu’s new set of leaders brings a mix of fresh perspectives and seasoned experience, which is good for us Sugboanons. And, as they go on their respective terms, we can anticipate initiatives focused on transparency, infrastructure development, healthcare, community engagement, and even educational progress.

Gwen Garcia Fights Back: Files Protest Over Cebu Gubernatorial Results

Just when we thought the election period’s over…

Cebu’s political scene is becoming more intense as last June 3, 2025, the outgoing Governor Gwendolyn “Gwen” Garcia filed an electoral protest with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), contesting the results of the May 12 gubernatorial race.

Garcia is challenging the victory of governor-elect Pamela “Pam” Baricuatro, citing alleged irregularities in over 4,100 clustered precincts across the province.

Garcia vs. Baricuatro

An electoral protest is a process that allows a losing candidate to contest the results of a recent election. Garcia claims that technical and software issues led to votes intended for her being credited to Baricuatro. She emphasized that this move is “a sign of good faith” to the mayors and constituents of Cebu, asserting that the election results did not reflect the “honest will of the people.”

Baricuatro, who secured over 1.1 million votes compared to Garcia’s approximate 800,000, has yet to issue a personal statement. However, her legal counsel, Atty. Edmund Lao, expressed surprise at the protest, stating they have not received an official copy.

The filing of the protest received varied reactions online wherein some supported the movement while others questioned her claims. As the COMELEC reviews the protest, the political situation in Cebu remains. Many are watching how this development will influence the province’s governance and political dynamics.
