Bitcoin Hyper Presale Hits $18 Million as Coverage Highlights Bitcoin Layer-2 Push

Backers are funding a Layer-2 that pitches SVM-based execution with a canonical bridge to extend Bitcoin’s programmability.

Overview

  • CoinCentral reports the HYPER token presale has reached $18 million, with the current stage pricing at $0.012965 and daily intake cited around $200,000.
  • NewsBTC and Bitcoinist highlight fresh whale interest, noting two Sept. 24 purchases totaling about $99,700 during the ongoing presale.
  • Project materials and media describe an SVM-powered execution layer connected by a non-custodial canonical bridge that locks BTC on Layer 1 and mints wrapped BTC on the L2; CoinCentral also reports ZK rollups and Proof-of-Stake, claims that are not independently verified in these articles.
  • Coverage outlines a roadmap featuring a BTC‑HYPER bridge and staking expansion ahead of a planned mainnet launch later in 2025, followed by ecosystem grants and efforts toward greater decentralization.
  • Context from Henley & Partners, Dune Analytics, and ETF flow data is used to frame demand, citing growth in Bitcoin millionaires, more wallets with at least 1 BTC, and sustained U.S. spot ETF accumulation.
