Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) has raised more than $32 million in its public presale, a notable funding milestone at a time when traders are rotating into Bitcoin ecosystem infrastructure amid broader crypto markets turning cautious again.
Bitcoin has pulled back to test the $70,000 level, while Ethereum has slipped toward $2,100. The pause follows a strong run from last Monday through Tuesday, with sentiment now pressured by renewed geopolitical risk, elevated oil prices, and fresh uncertainty around U.S. monetary policy.
Even so, capital has continued to flow into projects positioned around longer-term Bitcoin utility. In that context, the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) presale is gaining traction by pitching a Bitcoin Layer 2 roadmap built around faster execution, lower fees, and broader on-chain functionality tied back to Bitcoin’s base layer.
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) passed the $32 million mark this week in its ongoing presale. The project says it is building a Bitcoin Layer 2 chain powered by the Solana Virtual Machine, with an architecture designed for near-instant transaction finality and low fees while still settling back to Bitcoin Layer 1 through periodic state commitments.
The core mechanics are straightforward. Users deposit native BTC through a decentralized canonical bridge, which mints equivalent wrapped assets on the Layer 2. Those assets can then be used across DeFi, staking, payments, and other applications on Bitcoin Hyper. Withdrawals reverse that process, with verification intended to keep the bridge trust-minimized.
That positioning matters in the current market. With price action less decisive and macro headlines dominating short-term trading, infrastructure plays tied to Bitcoin’s longer-term expansion are attracting increased attention from larger holders looking beyond immediate volatility.
The HYPER token is central to the network as its utility and governance asset. It is intended for gas fees on the Layer 2, staking participation, and future governance activity.

According to HYPER’s tokenomics plan, total supply is capped at 21 billion tokens, allocated across development, treasury, marketing, rewards, and exchange listings. In the current presale stage, the token is priced at $0.0136772 for the next several hours, and buyers can stake immediately for a dynamic 37% APY.
Macro Stress Tests Crypto, but Bitcoin Utility Narrative Holds
The broader market backdrop remains unsettled. The latest escalation involving Iran has injected fresh uncertainty into global risk assets after an Israeli strike on Iran’s offshore South Pars gas field, an Iranian retaliation against Qatar’s energy infrastructure, and President Trump warning of larger attacks if hostilities continue.
Oil has mostly stayed above $100 a barrel since March 6, adding pressure across financial markets. That move is also affecting Bitcoin mining economics, with the network hash rate falling roughly 8% over the past week as higher energy costs hit operators in exposed regions.
At the same time, U.S. regulation has offered a separate source of support for parts of the digital asset market. The SEC issued guidance classifying many crypto assets as digital commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act, in coordination with the CFTC. The guidance provides clearer lines for tokens whose value is tied to network usage and market dynamics rather than centralized promotional activity.
That mix of macro strain and regulatory clarification helps explain why some investors are distinguishing between short-term market noise and projects they see as part of the next development cycle for Bitcoin infrastructure.
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe made that broader divergence point in a recent X update, saying Bitcoin was setting up potential buying opportunities below $69,000 despite the latest dip, while a bounce would “create an opportunity for tests to move higher again.”
All assets, except Oil, continue to sell off.
Not a bad case here.
The opposite: #Bitcoin is also correcting, and it's correcting less than I would assume.
Clear technical rejection at the resistance, and now back to my crucial support area between $ 69K and $70K.

Roadmap, Access, and Next-Step Positioning
Bitcoin Hyper’s roadmap includes planned CEX and DEX launches, the Layer 2 mainnet rollout, a dedicated DAO, and developer tooling. Those milestones are part of the project’s pitch to investors looking for execution signals rather than purely narrative-driven demand.
Participants can access the presale through the official Bitcoin Hyper website by connecting a wallet through the site widget. Purchases are available using ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, or a bank card.
Mobile users can also use the Best Wallet app, available through the Apple App Store and Google Play, and locate the presale in the app’s “Upcoming Tokens” section. The token price and 37% staking APY are the same on Best Wallet and the project’s official site.
For updates on development progress, investors can follow the project on X and join the official Telegram group.
