Bitcoin Hyper Almost at $24M After Massive Whale Accumulation

What to Know: Bitcoin is back down dangerously close to the $100K barrier A long-term recovery for Bitcoin looks clear Bitcoin Hyper could be part of that journey with a Layer-2 solution to Bitcoin’s scalability woes The $HYPER presale has already raised almost $24M The Bitcoin Hyper presale is approaching a major milestone with $24 million worth of $HYPER tokens sold. We’ve observed significant whale activity during the presale, including purchases of $379.9K, $274K, $196.6K, and $145K. In contrast, Bitcoin has had a rocky few ￰1￱ the past two months, the price of $BTC peaked above $120K twice but then fell sharply after a flash crash on October ￰2￱ it appeared to be stabilizing, Bitcoin dropped today to around $103K.

Many point to the ripple effects from Trump announcing 100% tariffs on China, which in turn led to over $19B of leveraged crypto positions being liquidated. Now, smart money is shifting capital from Bitcoin into smaller crypto projects with higher potential upside, anticipating that Bitcoin will eventually ￰3￱ Bitcoin Hyper project could be the next 1000x crypto if it manages to make Bitcoin more appealing to retail and Web3 crypto ￰4￱ of the main problems with Bitcoin is that it’s slow, which drives transaction fees up and scales poorly when more users compete for resources on the blockchain. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper comes into play. It’s a Layer-2 project that utilizes a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to process $BTC transactions more quickly than the Bitcoin network, leveraging Solana’s parallel processing ￰5￱ the Bitcoin Network Inherently Slow?

There’s a limit to how quickly each trade can be added to the ￰6￱ a transaction occurs, it must be confirmed by the network and added to the blockchain, a process that typically takes approximately ten minutes. However, this is just the ideal ￰7￱ block has a maximum file size, so any extra transactions that don’t fit are queued and added to a later block instead. It’s estimated that the current maximum speed of the Bitcoin network is around 7 to 10 transactions per ￰8￱ you’re wondering why your transaction fees are increasing, it’s because there’s a bidding war on the Bitcoin network to get priority transactions processed as more users join the network.

That’s not a problem if you’re a long-term $BTC investor, but it becomes a nightmare if you want to use $BTC for Web3 ￰9￱ problem is that, according to most blockchain devs, if you want a decentralized blockchain, you either have to choose one that’s secure or ￰10￱ Bitcoin Layer-1, security is the top priority – which is why long-term investors prefer $BTC for its rock-solid security guarantees. However, it’s hard to deny the advantages that high-speed programmable blockchains like Ethereum and Solana have brought to the Web3 ￰11￱ Bitcoin could offer similar features, there’s no telling how high the price of $BTC could go. That’s the idea behind Bitcoin Hyper, which uses Bitcoin’s Layer-1 as a security guarantee while transferring transactions into an SVM for faster processing.

Let’s take a look at exactly how Bitcoin Hyper ￰12￱ does $HYPER solve these issues? The Bitcoin Hyper network utilizes the existing Bitcoin blockchain as a trusted ledger that the SVM reads from, serving as the foundation for ￰13￱ accomplishes this through a Canonical Bridge, which holds $BTC in custody while it is being used on the network Layer-2. Essentially, you send $BTC to the Canonical Bridge, and an equal amount is minted for you as wrapped $BTC on the ￰14￱ can then use your $wBTC in various dApps or swap it with other cryptocurrencies, just like any other crypto token, while your $BTC stays secure on the Layer-1. Caption: The Bitcoin Hyper infrastructure allows for easy onboarding and withdrawal of $BTC These transactions are recorded on a separate temporary ledger on Layer-2, which is periodically committed back to ￰15￱ you want to withdraw your $BTC, you can simply send a withdrawal request along with the $wBTC you wish to burn, and your $BTC will be sent back from the ￰16￱ managing all these transactions on Layer-2, Bitcoin Hyper would enable the Bitcoin network to scale significantly with more users while placing minimal stress on the actual ￰17￱ more information on how the Bitcoin Hyper network operates, you can check out our ‘ What is Bitcoin Hyper ’ ￰18￱ Will $Hyper Grow?

The Bitcoin network is experiencing another challenging period. Still, typically, dips in $BTC indicate heavy buying activity as whales fill their wallets with cheap Bitcoin, suggesting a potential rise for $HYPER as more users begin testing the scalability of the Bitcoin network to its ￰19￱ the official utility token for Bitcoin Hyper, $HYPER offers a range of features, including lower trading fees on the network, as well as access to the Bitcoin DAO and exclusive smart contract capabilities on select dApps within the Bitcoin Hyper ￰20￱ Bitcoin Hyper price prediction considers these features, along with Bitcoin Hyper’s overall value ￰21￱ believe that $HYPER could reach as high as $0.02595 if the developers successfully deploy a working Layer-2 network by the end of ￰22￱ away, we expect $HYPER could increase by 7.5 times to $0.08625.

However, to reach this goal, the Bitcoin Hyper project would need to successfully attract a dedicated community by offering incentives for node operators and ￰23￱ the long term, we expect $HYPER to reach $0.253 if it continues to grow in tandem with $BTC. The whales seem to see potential in $HYPER – we’ve already seen purchases of $379.9K, $274K, $196.6K, and $145K. Alongside a tidal wave of other purchases, these whale purchases have increased the value of the $HYPER presale to just under $2.4M, resulting in a presale price of $0.013125. You’ll need to act quickly if you want to lock in your tokens at this price – the presale is dynamic, so the price is constantly ￰24￱ $HYPER you buy now can be staked for up to 49% in annual ￰25￱ here for more information on how to buy Bitcoin ￰26￱ by Aaron Walker, NewsBTC — ￰0￱
