Bitcoin Reclaims $68K as Spot ETF Inflows Hit $117.63M; New Bitcoin Hyper Presale Moves Past $32.2M

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $117.63 million in net inflows yesterday, a notable shift after several weeks of uneven price action driven by higher real rates, Iran-related tensions, and firmer oil prices. The move has helped push Bitcoin back above $68,000 at the start of Q2, putting near-term market structure and risk appetite back into focus, alongside driving interest in new Bitcoin projects like HYPER.

From a process standpoint, traders are tracking whether this latest ETF demand can persist while macro uncertainty remains elevated. On-chain data continues to point to steady accumulation, and President Trump’s recent signals on a possible end to the war in Iran have added a short-term tailwind, though markets are still waiting for more definitive guidance from his scheduled address later today.

Against that backdrop, capital is also rotating toward Bitcoin-linked infrastructure plays that aim to expand the network’s usable surface area. One of the clearest examples is the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) presale, which has now raised $32.2 million ahead of the project’s Bitcoin Layer 2 mainnet launch.

That figure puts the campaign within range of the $40 million mark, with some observers also watching $50 million as a possible end-of-sale target. The core thesis is not simply token demand, but whether a Bitcoin L2 with DeFi and dApp functionality can capture meaningful activity as Q2 progresses.

Bitcoin spent most of March consolidating around $67,000, with brief swings toward $76,000 and $65,000. As covered in recent BTC price moves, the market has remained highly sensitive to geopolitical developments, especially the war in Iran, as well as shifting expectations for U.S. interest rates.

Today’s supporting signals are more concrete: trading volume is up 22% to $44 billion, while funding rates have cooled from prior extremes. In practical terms, that reduces some of the excess leverage that often caps upside and leaves room for a stronger move if spot support remains intact.

One chart signal drawing attention comes from Trader Tardigrade, who has 77,600 followers on X and is monitoring a falling wedge formation that could resolve higher later this year.

That setup is still conditional rather than confirmed, and the broader digital asset outlook remains dependent on macro developments. For investors looking beyond short-term BTC direction, attention has increasingly shifted toward projects offering defined presale pricing and clearer utility roadmaps.

Bitcoin Hyper Metrics: $32.2M Raised, Q2 Mainnet Target, 36% APY

Within that segment, Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is positioning itself around measurable launch milestones. Since the middle of last year, the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) team has been building its Bitcoin Layer 2 using the Solana Virtual Machine to pursue near-instant finality and low transaction costs, while batching activity back to Bitcoin Layer 1 for settlement.

The operational model is straightforward: users bridge BTC through a trust-minimized system, mint wrapped assets on the L2, and then access functions such as staking, decentralized exchanges, lending, and other dApps that are not natively available on Bitcoin itself.

The HYPER token is designed for gas payments, DAO governance, and staking. At the current stage, the presale price stands at $0.0136779, and buyers can activate staking during the purchase flow, with rewards advertised at up to 36% APY.

In timing terms, the project is entering a more advanced phase of fundraising. With more than $32 million already collected, the next visible milestones are $40 million and potentially $50 million by the end of the sale. The team also says the mainnet is targeted for later in Q2, with developer tooling expected to follow shortly after.

For market participants, the key variable is execution: if Bitcoin remains firm above current levels and demand for BTC-native yield and applications expands, infrastructure projects tied to that trend could attract additional flow.

Execution Path for Buyers Ahead of the Final Presale Phase for New Bitcoin Layer 2

For those planning entry before the new Bitcoin presale closes, the process is relatively simple. Investors can go to the official Bitcoin Hyper website, connect a supported wallet, and complete the purchase directly.

Supported payment options include ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, SOL, and bank card payments, reducing the need for extra bridging steps. Users who want a mobile route can also use the Best Wallet app, available via the Apple App Store and Google Play, where HYPER appears under the “Upcoming Tokens” section.

Immediate staking remains part of the offer, allowing buyers to lock tokens for the current 36% APY while waiting for the planned mainnet and exchange listings, which are expected to align with the launch window.
