U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs Accumulate $117.63 Million as BTC Surges to $68,000; Bitcoin Hyper Presale Exceeds $32 Million

US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $117.63 million in new inflows on Tuesday, aiding Bitcoin in surpassing $68,000 after a period of fluctuating trading influenced by rising real interest rates, tensions related to Iran, and high oil prices. As the second quarter begins, traders are observing whether this movement will evolve into a more significant breakout or falter amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.

On-chain metrics continue to indicate consistent accumulation despite the challenging environment. President Trump’s remarks suggesting that the conflict in Iran may be approaching a conclusion have also bolstered risk sentiment, although markets are still anticipating further details from his scheduled address to the nation later today.

This combination of renewed ETF interest and a stronger Bitcoin price has also highlighted projects aimed at broadening Bitcoin’s application beyond mere passive holding. Among these, Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is gaining attention as its presale surpasses $32.2 million in advance of a planned Bitcoin Layer 2 mainnet launch.

March was primarily characterized by Bitcoin hovering around $67,000, with brief fluctuations toward $76,000 and $65,000. BTC’s price movements closely mirrored geopolitical events, particularly the conflict in Iran and its effects on the global economy, alongside shifting expectations for U.S. interest rates.

Trading volume has increased by 22% to $44 billion, while funding rates have eased from previous highs. In market terms, this leaves potential for upward movement if support levels hold.

Nonetheless, the medium-term outlook for digital assets remains responsive to macroeconomic news. For investors looking beyond short-term price fluctuations, focus has increasingly shifted toward projects associated with Bitcoin infrastructure and utility rather than solely directional BTC exposure.

Bitcoin Hyper Approaches $40M as Bitcoin L2 Narrative Gains Momentum

Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is aligning itself with that perspective. The project claims to have raised over $32 million in its token presale, with market watchers now eyeing the $40 million threshold as the next target and potentially $50 million by the conclusion of the sale.

Since mid-last year, the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) team has been working on a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution powered by the Solana Virtual Machine. The project states that the network is designed to provide near-instant finality and low transaction fees while settling batches back to Bitcoin Layer 1.

The proposed model would enable users to bridge BTC into the network through a trust-minimized system, mint wrapped assets on Layer 2, and utilize staking, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, and other dApps not typically accessible on Bitcoin itself.

HYPER is intended to function as the network’s gas token, governance token, and staking asset. The current presale price is set at $0.0136779, and the project indicates that users who participate in the presale can stake immediately for returns of up to 36% APY.

With Bitcoin exceeding $68,000 and investors once again seeking higher-yield opportunities within the Bitcoin ecosystem, the project’s fundraising momentum has picked up. Bitcoin Hyper’s mainnet is slated for later in Q2, with additional developer tools expected to follow soon after.

How Buyers Are Accessing the HYPER Presale

According to the project, HYPER’s DEX and CEX listings are anticipated to coincide with the mainnet launch. Buyers can visit the official Bitcoin Hyper website, connect a supported wallet, and purchase the token directly.

The presale accepts ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, SOL, and bank card payments.

For those seeking a mobile option, the Best Wallet app is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play, where HYPER can be found under the “Upcoming Tokens” section.

The project states that buyers who stake immediately can qualify for the current 36% APY while awaiting the planned launch.
