Takeaways:

• Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) reaches $24.4M in presale, despite October 10’s market crash, and sees growing investor support.
• Hyper is the Layer 2 solution to Bitcoin’s most pressing problem: its limited scalability due to the capped performance of 7 TPS.
• The project leverages Solana’s SVM and the Canonical Bridge to enhance the Bitcoin ecosystem by making it faster, cheaper, and more scalable.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) has just reached $24.4M in presale, following a steady yet accelerated growth rate throughout Q3.

The project is targeting a Q1 2026 official release, provided support continues at the same pace, and all signs indicate that this is likely to be the case.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is a Layer 2 solution that promises to bring Bitcoin into the modern era in terms of performance, scalability, and transaction fees, as Bitcoin requires it.

According to data from Chainspect, Bitcoin currently ranks 31st in terms of network capacity, as it can only process up to seven transactions per second (TPS). By comparison, Solana is second with up to 1.1K TPS and a 65K theoretical one.

But what exactly does this mean?

The Problem

Bitcoin’s capped TPS is responsible for an array of issues, all stemming from the fee-based priority system.

This results in two problems: confirmation times increase, and fees rise. The situation is so severe that many transactions experience finality times of several hours, depending on the network’s congestion level.

This is the main reason why the Bitcoin network lags behind so many blockchains in terms of adoption rates.

According to the Ethereum Foundation, Bitcoin is the third most used ecosystem among active devs in 2025, with Solana and Ethereum occupying the second and first spots, respectively. And Ethereum has almost triple Bitcoin’s numbers.

As expected, a change was needed, and several Layer 2 solutions attempted to fix the problem.

The most notorious and recent one is the Lightning Network, which promised lower fees, faster transactions, and higher scalability. Unfortunately, the project ultimately failed due to a combination of security issues and improper implementation, resulting in bugs and various vulnerabilities.

Other proposed solutions fell short for other reasons. For instance, the Liquid Network is more centralized, which contradicts Bitcoin’s philosophy, while Rootstock is limited to addressing only Bitcoin’s smart contract functionality.

Bitcoin Hyper promises to become the first comprehensive solution, addressing all of Bitcoin’s problems in one go.

The Hyper Solution at Work

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) relies on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and the Canonical Bridge to achieve what previous Layer 2 models couldn’t: make the Bitcoin ecosystem faster, cheaper, and more scalable.

SVM addresses the network’s overall performance directly by enabling the Solana-grade execution of DeFi apps and smart contracts. This results in higher throughput, faster execution, and overall improved performance.

The Canonical Bridge, on the other hand, deals with Bitcoin’s capped TPS by minting the users’ bitcoins into the Hyper layer as soon as the Bitcoin Relay Program confirms incoming transactions.

The results speak for themselves: near-instant finality across the board, which eliminates the need for a fee-based priority system.

Tools like SVM and the Canonical Bridge enable the Hyper ecosystem to support complex DeFi operations, such as staking and DEXs, making the Bitcoin network cheaper and more performant without jeopardizing Bitcoin’s security or brand appeal.

Presale Numbers

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) gained momentum quickly due to its explicit utility, clear roadmap, and detailed whitepaper, which effectively showcases the project’s goals and long-term potential.

Since its release, the $HYPER presale has raised $24.4M so far, and it’s still not over. According to the whitepaper, the presale could finalize anytime between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, depending on the ‘prevailing market conditions and demand’.

With $HYPER sitting at $0.013145 and a dynamic staking APY of 48%, this is the time to invest if you’ve decided to support the project.

The Hyper ecosystem is currently in a full developmental process, according to an August 2025 update, which documented the team’s work on lightweight infrastructure services, rollup sequencing models, and developer-facing infrastructure.

This means that the presale will likely attract more investors over time, which will shorten the presale’s lifespan and reduce the investment opportunity window.
