Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a new Bitcoin Layer-2 solution, has raised over $6 million in its ongoing presale, with $1 million secured in the past week alone. The project aims to solve Bitcoin's scalability issues by integrating ZK-rollups with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), enabling sub-second transactions and fees under $0.01 while maintaining Bitcoin's security through cryptographic proofs settled on-chain.
Currently priced at $0.01245 per token, HYPER's multi-tiered presale will increase rates within 24 hours. Investors can purchase using SOL, ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, or credit cards, with immediate staking available. The project has gained endorsements from analysts like Borch Crypto, who highlighted its potential to enable "complex DeFi operations with ultra-low latency".
Positioned uniquely as Bitcoin's first SVM-based L2, HYPER allows users to lock BTC into a bridge to mint wrapped BTC for use in DeFi, gaming, and dApps within its ecosystem. This contrasts with Ethereum-focused L2s like Arbitrum ($2.1B market cap) and Optimism ($1.2B). With August's potential market tailwinds – including anticipated Fed rate cuts and Bitcoin's recent all-time high – analysts speculate HYPER could achieve 100x gains post-listing if adoption accelerates.
