Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a new Bitcoin Layer 2 solution, has raised over $28.8 million in its ongoing presale, positioning itself as a high-performance infrastructure play for the Bitcoin ecosystem. The project aims to address Bitcoin's inherent limitations—slow confirmation times, high fees, and lack of native smart contracts—by integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to create a fast execution layer anchored to Bitcoin's settlement security.
The core thesis is that as Bitcoin's price holds near $93,000 and gains institutional legitimacy through spot ETF adoption by giants like Vanguard, BlackRock, and Fidelity, the next wave of significant returns will come from infrastructure built on top of Bitcoin, not from the base asset alone. Bitcoin Hyper explicitly targets bringing "Solana-style throughput" to Bitcoin, enabling wrapped BTC to be used in DeFi, gaming, and NFT applications with sub-second confirmations and low fees.
Early investor interest is evident, with whale purchases reported at $500,000, $379,000, and $274,000. The project's presale price is $0.013365 per $HYPER token. Analyst predictions cited in the coverage suggest a potential price target of $0.08625 by the end of 2026, which would represent a return of roughly 545% from the presale price. The project also offers 40% staking rewards for presale participants.
The news is framed against a backdrop of increasing institutional adoption, highlighted by Vanguard's recent pivot to offering spot Bitcoin ETFs. This move is seen as channeling massive retirement and retail capital into Bitcoin, which in turn pushes traders seeking higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities toward ecosystem plays like Layer 2 tokens.
