Crypto markets moved sharply higher overnight after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a temporary two-week ceasefire with Iran, contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The development pushed total crypto market capitalization up 4.2% to $2.44 trillion and triggered a broader relief rally across risk assets.
Bitcoin rose 4.9% to a three-week high of $72,738, while oil prices fell as Middle East tensions eased. The move also came alongside renewed institutional demand, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posting $471.3 million in net inflows on Monday.
Against that backdrop, capital has also rotated into Bitcoin-linked infrastructure plays, including Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a Layer 2 project that says it has raised more than $32 million in its ongoing presale.
The market reversal follows weeks of pressure that had kept Bitcoin below key resistance levels. Trump’s announcement, reported as having been brokered through Pakistani mediation, helped remove some of the geopolitical premium embedded in oil and redirected liquidity toward equities and digital assets.
The easing in energy markets also tempered inflation concerns and contributed to a short squeeze, with more than $400 million in liquidations recorded over the past 24 hours.
Altcoins outperformed Bitcoin in some markets. Ethereum gained 6.9%, Cardano added 7.1%, and Zcash climbed 22%.
Analysts said the next several sessions could be important for confirming momentum. Crypto.Andy said Bitcoin could push toward $80,000 if current levels hold and the ceasefire remains in place, a view shared by other market commentators.

ETF Inflows and Bitcoin L2 Narratives Return to Focus
Monday’s $471.3 million in net inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs marked the strongest single-day intake in more than a month. That combination of macro relief and fresh ETF demand has reinforced interest in projects tied to Bitcoin’s broader utility rather than price exposure alone.
One of the names benefiting from that shift is Bitcoin Hyper, which is positioning itself as a Bitcoin Layer 2 built around faster execution and lower transaction costs.
Bitcoin Hyper Pitches Solana-Style Throughput on Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s scaling constraints have long limited its use in DeFi and payments despite its dominance as a store-of-value asset. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) aims to address that by integrating the Solana Virtual Machine, or SVM, into a Layer 2 framework connected to Bitcoin.
The project says its architecture is designed to support near-instant transactions and sub-cent fees while retaining security anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain. Through a canonical bridge, users can wrap BTC and access decentralized applications, staking, and higher-frequency trading strategies on the network.

Bitcoin Hyper says its presale has now exceeded $32 million, underscoring investor demand for Bitcoin-native scaling projects. The team is pitching the network as infrastructure for a potential next phase of Bitcoin DeFi adoption, with mainnet launch expectations helping support interest in the token sale.
How Investors Can Access the HYPER Presale
The Bitcoin Hyper presale remains open, giving buyers a chance to acquire HYPER before any potential centralized exchange listing.
Users can connect supported wallets, including Best Wallet or MetaMask, on the official website and buy HYPER using ETH, BNB, or USDT. The Best Wallet app is also available via the Apple App Store and Google Play, with integrated support for presale token tracking.
With market sentiment improving and the presale already above the $32 million mark, investor attention is increasingly turning to whether Bitcoin infrastructure tokens can sustain momentum if the broader rally continues.
