Bitcoin Hyper, a new Layer 2 that brings the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to Bitcoin, has raised $33,012,866.84 in its presale. The project's token is currently priced at $0.0136842, with a staking program already live. It's the first Bitcoin L2 to integrate SVM, offering sub-second finality and low-cost smart contracts anchored to Bitcoin's security.
Bitcoin Hyper's Solana VM integration
The core pitch is speed. Bitcoin Hyper uses a Decentralized Canonical Bridge for BTC transfers, letting users move bitcoin onto the L2 and interact with SVM-based dApps. The team claims sub-second finality — a stark contrast to Bitcoin's 10-minute block times. For developers, it means writing in Solidity or Rust and deploying on a chain that settles back to Bitcoin.
Presale crosses $33M
The presale has been running for weeks, and the $33 million figure puts it among the larger token sales this year. A staking program is live, letting early buyers earn yield before the token lists. But the project hasn't announced a specific exchange or date for the listing yet. Presale tokens carry limited liquidity until then.
Market waits for a catalyst
Bitcoin itself is stuck in a tight range. At $64,825.91, it's up 1% in the last 24 hours, but volume is subdued. The intraday range — $64,456 to $64,982 — shows compressed volatility. Traders are watching institutional flows into spot Bitcoin products and upcoming central bank commentary. The $65,000 level is the binary trigger most professionals use to re-size exposure. A daily close below $61,500 would put $58,000-$59,000 back in play.
Early-stage risks
Bitcoin Hyper is still pre-launch. The presale's $33 million is real, but early-stage projects carry execution risk. The bridge, the SVM integration, and the tokenomics all need to work in production. No listing date has been set, and until then, presale tokens are illiquid. The team will need to deliver on the technical promises — and convince the market that a Bitcoin L2 with Solana's VM is more than a novelty.
