Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a pioneering Bitcoin Layer-2 solution, has rapidly accelerated its presale funding, crossing the $20.4 million milestone and adding $1.2 million in just three days. This surge is largely driven by aggressive whale activity, with one investor making three separate purchases totaling 24.6 million HYPER tokens worth $327,000 on Monday, followed by two other whales acquiring a combined 25.65 million tokens for $333,000 by Thursday.
The project aims to merge Solana's transaction speed and cost efficiency with Bitcoin's security and decentralization, utilizing the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) for parallelized execution and ZK-rollups to bundle transactions for lower fees. A canonical bridge will allow users to lock Bitcoin on the main chain and use wrapped BTC within the HYPER ecosystem, potentially driving new demand for BTC itself.
Amid a broader market uptrend, Bitcoin has reclaimed the $120,000 level, logging consecutive green days and fueling optimism. HYPER tokens are currently priced at $0.013035 in the presale, which may hit $21 million before the week ends, with a staking protocol offering up to 59% APY. Notably, crypto outlet 99Bitcoins has projected HYPER as a potential 100x token, echoing whale confidence in its long-term potential to transform Bitcoin into a programmable asset.
