The recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran has driven Bitcoin (BTC) to over $105,000. Even after the U.S. conducted airstrikes on Iran, the leading cryptocurrency only briefly fell below six figures before buyers quickly returned.
Bitcoin has clearly established itself as a significant macroeconomic hedge and a possible safe haven during global instability. But what if developers could also create lightning-fast dApps on this highly secure network, in addition to simply holding Bitcoin?
This is the goal of Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), which aims to integrate the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) into the Bitcoin ecosystem, enabling scalable programmability.
Its ongoing presale allows early investors to purchase the native token at a reduced price. Unlike many other launches, Bitcoin Hyper is a fair launch project with no private allocations or early access for venture capitalists. All tokens available in the presale are accessible to the public.
For those interested in seeing Bitcoin transform from a passive asset into an active, high-speed Layer-2 platform for DeFi, dApps, and more, Bitcoin Hyper aims to be that entry point.
The current funding round values HYPER at $0.012, with an impressive $1.5 million already raised. However, this entry price is only available for the next eight hours before the price increases.
Enhancing Bitcoin’s Value Through Genuine On-Chain Utility
Undoubtedly, Bitcoin has established itself as a reliable macro hedge and a long-term store of value in an era defined by monetary instability, geopolitical tensions, and fiat currency depreciation.
Institutions, asset managers, and even governments now hold Bitcoin not for speed, but for robustness – its unparalleled decentralization, limited supply, and ability to endure global economic shocks.
In 2025, BlackRock’s IBIT – its premier Bitcoin ETF – became the fastest ETF to reach over $70 billion in assets under management, claiming nearly 3.25% of the total BTC circulating supply.
This significant accumulation underscores the confidence institutions have in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects.
However, in its current state, Bitcoin primarily serves as static capital. It retains value but does not actively generate it. It provides wealth protection but does not facilitate active economic engagement. There are no built-in methods for creating applications, trading assets, or interacting with financial protocols directly on the Bitcoin network without moving to entirely different systems.
This is where a Layer-2 solution becomes appealing. Bitcoin Hyper seeks to fill the gaps in programmability, speed, and integration that Bitcoin currently lacks.
Essentially, Bitcoin Hyper delivers efficient, scalable on-chain features to BTC holders, while ensuring finality and settlement remains secure on the world’s most reliable chain.
The Framework of Bitcoin Hyper
Bitcoin Hyper connects to the Bitcoin main layer through a decentralized, non-custodial bridge. Users deposit BTC, and once confirmed on-chain, a wrapped equivalent is created on Bitcoin Hyper – a high-speed Layer-2 fully integrated with the SVM, based on the project’s June 19 update on X.

Once created on Bitcoin Hyper, BTC can be used in a high-speed environment, allowing for cost-effective transactions and smart contract interactions that the native Bitcoin network does not support.
The system also utilizes zero-knowledge technology to commit transaction proofs back to Bitcoin, enabling the Hyper ecosystem to expand while adhering to Bitcoin’s trust principles.
When users finish their transactions, they simply burn the wrapped token and retrieve their BTC directly from the bridge.
This model positions Bitcoin Hyper as a practical execution layer—designed for high performance while remaining anchored in Bitcoin’s consensus and reliability.
HYPER Fuels the Infrastructure That Could Transform Bitcoin’s Utility
By enhancing Bitcoin’s capabilities beyond just being a static store of value, Bitcoin Hyper paves the way for a more dynamic application of Bitcoin, making it not just an asset to hold, but a platform for development.
For the first time, Bitcoin’s economic influence can facilitate real-time activities: trading, staking, lending, and smart contract interactions—all while preserving security at the base layer. This transition could broaden Bitcoin’s relevance and boost demand for its use in on-chain environments.
Central to this development is the HYPER token—not only enabling transactions but also securing the network, rewarding participants, and providing access to the tools and applications built on Hyper. It serves as the economic layer propelling this evolved version of Bitcoin forward.
For early supporters, having a stake in the infrastructure supporting Bitcoin’s next phase is crucial. Investing during the presale is comparable to getting into ARB or MATIC before their ecosystems flourished, but with this opportunity tied to the strongest Layer-1 in existence.
How to Acquire HYPER Tokens
To acquire HYPER tokens, visit the Bitcoin Hyper website and buy tokens using ETH, USDT, BNB, or a credit card.
Bitcoin Hyper suggests using Best Wallet for an optimal experience. HYPER is already available in the Upcoming Tokens section within the app, allowing you to easily monitor, manage, and access it. Best Wallet also provides early access to other promising tokens before they are listed on major exchanges.
