While Bitcoin continues to be seen as a long-term store of value, a new project aims to unlock much more from the network.
Following the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, BTC $118 665 24h volatility: 2.3% Market cap: $2.36 T Vol. 24h: $49.84 B surged beyond the $105,000 mark. Even after subsequent U.S. airstrikes, BTC only briefly dipped below six figures before recovering quickly – a clear indication of its growing role as a macro hedge and global risk-off asset.
While Bitcoin continues to be seen as a long-term store of value, a new project aims to unlock much more from the network. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is developing a high-performance Layer-2 built on Bitcoin, using Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) technology to support decentralized applications (dApps) and scalable smart contracts.
The platform’s presale is now live, with no private allocations or VC advantages. All HYPER tokens are publicly available – currently priced at $0.012, with over $1.5 million already raised.
Adding Real Functionality to Bitcoin’s Store-of-Value Role
Bitcoin has cemented itself as a hedge against economic uncertainty, currency debasement, and geopolitical instability. It’s widely held by institutions, fund managers, and even nation-states, not for its speed, but for its security, scarcity, and resistance to censorship.
In 2025, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF became the fastest-ever to exceed $70 billion in AUM, holding over 3.25% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply – a strong signal of institutional trust.

But despite its prominence, Bitcoin is still limited in functionality. It isn’t designed to host dApps, smart contracts, or DeFi protocols – areas where other blockchains like Ethereum and Solana thrive. Bitcoin Hyper steps into that gap, offering Layer-2 programmability while preserving Bitcoin’s base-layer security.
How Bitcoin Hyper Works: Architecture and Bridge Model
Bitcoin Hyper connects to Bitcoin’s main chain via a decentralized, non-custodial bridge. Users lock BTC on the base layer, mint a wrapped token on the Hyper network, and gain access to low-cost, high-speed transactions powered by the SVM. According to a recent update from the team, the Solana integration is already active.

All transactions on Hyper are finalized using zero-knowledge proofs that commit back to Bitcoin, maintaining the integrity of the system while enabling high throughput.
Once users finish interacting with the ecosystem, they can burn their wrapped tokens and reclaim native BTC through the same trustless bridge, offering security, flexibility, and performance in one package.
Why HYPER Is More Than Just a Token
The HYPER token powers everything on Bitcoin Hyper – from transaction fees and staking to governance and network incentives. It plays a central role in securing the Layer-2 and enables interaction with any apps built within the ecosystem.
The project positions itself as a major step toward unlocking dynamic Bitcoin utility: lending, trading, smart contracts, and more – all without compromising on the decentralization and trust Bitcoin is known for.
With growing interest and early capital flowing in, some investors are comparing HYPER’s opportunity to early-stage plays like ARB or MATIC – but this time, it’s being built on Bitcoin’s massive foundation.
How to Participate in the HYPER Presale
To buy HYPER tokens, visit the Bitcoin Hyper website and complete the purchase using ETH, BNB, USDT, or a credit card.
The team recommends using Best Wallet, where HYPER is already listed under the “Upcoming Tokens” section. Best Wallet also allows users to track, manage, and access other presales and early-stage crypto projects.
