On Monday 20 July 2026, Bitcoin and Ethereum consolidated their weekly gains despite a minor intraday pullback. Bitcoin stabilized near $64,200, while Ethereum held flat at $1,860. This intermediate-term market resilience has driven sustained capital inflows into utility-focused infrastructure projects. Notably, the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) presale has reached $32.97 million, placing it on the verge of its current $33 million target ahead of a scheduled price adjustment tomorrow.
Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin experienced a minor correction of 0.63%, trading at $64,200 after reaching an intraday high of $65,100. Despite this short-term volatility, the asset remains up 1.96% over the last seven days. Bitcoin’s market capitalization stands at approximately $1.28 trillion, with 24-hour trading volume recorded at $18.85 billion.
Ethereum has followed a comparable trajectory, maintaining its position around $1,860. This represents a stronger 4.26% gain over the past week. Ethereum’s market capitalization currently sits at $224.5 billion, supported by $8.62 billion in daily trading volume.
While the broader market sentiment remains cautious—indicated by a Crypto Fear and Greed Index reading of 34—on-chain data suggests that institutional and large-scale holders continue to accumulate during periods of consolidation. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe recently highlighted Strategy’s expanding cash reserves, noting that the firm’s capacity to acquire additional Bitcoin remains strong for the coming months.
He's increased his position enormously over the past few weeks as he increased his cash reserves.
By doing that, he's increased the chances of him to accumulate more #Bitcoin.
I've stated this over the past few weeks, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to accumulate even… https://t.co/Uhi7G32kcN— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) July 19, 2026
As major assets maintain their weekly baselines, market interest is shifting toward infrastructure networks designed to expand Bitcoin’s transactional utility, such as high-throughput Layer-2 protocols.
Scaling Bitcoin: The Technical Architecture Behind Bitcoin Hyper
The Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) network is designed to function as a highly efficient Bitcoin Layer-2 scaling solution. By leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) for high-throughput execution, the network batches and compresses transaction data before committing the state back to the Bitcoin mainnet using zero-knowledge proofs.
To interact with the network, users deposit BTC via a canonical bridge, which mints an equivalent amount on the Layer-2 network. This setup enables near-instant transactions, yield-generating staking, and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, while allowing users to withdraw their original assets once the zero-knowledge proofs are verified on the Layer-1 mainnet.
These Backrooms hit a little different.

The native HYPER token serves as the utility engine of this ecosystem, used for paying transaction gas fees, participating in network governance, and securing the network through staking, which currently offers a 36% APY.
According to the project’s whitepaper, the tokenomics are structured as follows: 30% is allocated to ongoing protocol development, 25% to the treasury and business expansion, 20% to marketing initiatives, 15% to community rewards, and 10% to secure exchange listings.
The ongoing presale has raised $32.97 million, with the token currently priced at $0.0136834. This rate is scheduled to increase tomorrow as the project prepares for its mainnet launch later this year.
Presale Mechanics and Strategic Token Allocation
Investors looking to acquire HYPER tokens can do so by visiting the official Bitcoin Hyper website. The platform supports purchases using SOL, ETH, BNB, major stablecoins, and traditional bank cards. An integrated “Buy and Stake” option allows participants to lock their tokens immediately to capture the current 36% staking yield.
Alternatively, the presale is accessible via the Best Wallet mobile application, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play. This integration allows users to fund their wallets and purchase HYPER directly within a single interface. The presale terms and token price of $0.0136834 remain identical across both the website and the Best Wallet application.
To receive real-time updates on presale stages, staking details, and future exchange listings, users can follow the Bitcoin Hyper project on X and join the official Telegram channel.
