U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs added $117.63 million on Tuesday, helping lift BTC above $68,000 as traders weigh macro risks and Q2 positioning. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Hyper’s presale has topped $32.2 million ahead of its planned Bitcoin Layer 2 mainnet launch.
Bitcoin price started Q2 on firmer footing after U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $117.63 million in net inflows yesterday, a notable shift after several weeks of uneven trading shaped by higher real interest rates, Iran-related tensions, and elevated oil prices. The move has helped push BTC back above $68,000, putting traders on alert for the market’s next signal.
The backdrop remains mixed. On-chain data continues to suggest steady accumulation, even as macro pressure has not fully faded. President Trump’s recent comments hinting at an end to the war in Iran have also improved risk sentiment, though investors are still waiting for more details from his scheduled address to the nation later today.
Against that backdrop, attention is also turning to projects aiming to expand Bitcoin’s use beyond simple long-term holding. One of the names drawing interest is Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), whose presale momentum has continued to build ahead of the project’s planned Bitcoin Layer 2 mainnet launch.
Bitcoin Hyper has now raised $32.2 million, and market watchers are increasingly pointing to $40 million as a realistic next milestone before the HYPER token reaches top-tier exchanges. The project’s pitch centers on bringing DeFi and dApp functionality to the Bitcoin ecosystem through a new Layer 2 network.
For most of March, Bitcoin traded around the $67,000 area, though not without sharp moves toward $76,000 and back to $65,000. BTC’s price moves were driven largely by geopolitics and changing rate expectations in the U.S., with particular focus on the war in Iran and its broader economic effects.
Now, trading conditions are beginning to improve. Bitcoin volume is up 22% to $44 billion, while funding rates have cooled from previous extremes. That combination has left room for another push higher if support levels continue to hold.
Chart watchers are also tracking a potentially constructive setup. Trader Tardigrade, who has 77,600 followers on X, has highlighted a falling wedge pattern that may point to a later-year breakout for BTC.

Even so, the broader outlook for digital assets in 2026 is still far from settled. For some investors, that uncertainty has increased interest in presale opportunities, where pricing steps are known in advance before exchange listings begin.
Why Bitcoin Hyper Is Gaining Attention in the Bitcoin Infrastructure Trade
That shift in focus helps explain why Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) has become a closely watched presale as the new quarter opens. Rather than acting as another speculative token with limited purpose, the project is being positioned around scalable Bitcoin infrastructure.
Since the middle of last year, the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) team has been building a Bitcoin Layer 2 powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The network is designed to deliver near-instant transaction finality and low fees, while anchoring transaction batches back to Bitcoin Layer 1 for settlement.
According to the project, users will be able to bridge BTC through a trust-minimized system, mint wrapped assets on the Layer 2, and then access features such as staking, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, and other dApps that are not natively available on Bitcoin itself.
The HYPER token is intended to serve several functions on the network, including gas payments, DAO governance, and staking. Presale participants can currently buy HYPER at $0.0136779, with staking available during the presale and rewards of up to 36% APY.

As Bitcoin regains the $68,000 level, Bitcoin-linked opportunities with higher yield potential are attracting more attention. In that environment, Bitcoin Hyper’s fundraising has accelerated, crossing $32 million and putting $40 million — and possibly even $50 million — in view before the sale ends. The project also says new buyers are continuing to join every day.
The Layer 2 mainnet is targeted for later in Q2, with a broader set of developer tools expected to follow soon after. That timeline is central to the project’s appeal for buyers looking for early exposure to Bitcoin-focused scaling infrastructure.
Presale Access, Payment Options, and What Comes Next
With DEX and CEX listings expected to align with the mainnet rollout, prospective buyers can go to the official Bitcoin Hyper website, connect a wallet, and complete a purchase in a matter of minutes.
The presale supports ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, SOL, and direct bank card payments, reducing the need for extra wallet transfers or bridging steps for many users.
Users looking for a mobile route can also use the Best Wallet app, available via the Apple App Store and Google Play. HYPER is listed in the app’s “Upcoming Tokens” section, where users can fund with crypto or card and keep the process in one interface.
Those who stake immediately are eligible for the current 36% APY on HYPER while waiting for the planned mainnet launch.
