BREAKING: US Bitcoin ETFs See First Weekly Outflows Since February as Capital Rotates Toward Bitcoin Layer-2 Bets
US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded their first weekly net outflows since mid-February, with $296.18 million exiting the funds in the week ending March 27, signaling a potential shift in investor strategy as capital rotates toward Bitcoin-native infrastructure plays. The outflows coincided with Bitcoin's recent dip to $65,000, though the asset has since recovered to trade above $67,000, highlighting a market that is taking profits on passive exposure and actively reallocating toward on-chain utility. This pivot is fueling projects like Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), whose Layer-2 solution presale has raised over $32.2 million, aiming to deliver faster transactions and DeFi functionality directly on the Bitcoin network.
First Bitcoin ETF, Now – Why Bitcoin Hyper Is Drawing Attention?
That backdrop has put renewed focus on Layer 2 protocols such as Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), which aims to expand Bitcoin’s use beyond simple holding and transfer. The project is built as a Layer 2 chain powered by the Solana Virtual Machine, combining higher throughput and low transaction costs with a design intended to remain secured by Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) uses a canonical bridge for trustless BTC deposits and withdrawals, with zero-knowledge proofs used to keep activity verifiable on the base chain. The pitch is straightforward: give Bitcoin holders access to DeFi services and dApps without forcing them out of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The HYPER token sits at the center of that model. It is designed for gas fees, staking rewards tied to network security, and governance participation on project decisions.

HYPER has a total supply of 21 billion tokens allocated across development, sustainability, community initiatives, rewards, and marketing. The current presale price is $0.0136778, and the project says buyers can stake through already active smart contracts for a 36% APY.
The presale has raised roughly $32.2 million so far. Recent activity has included a $49,611 buy last Friday, underscoring continued interest from larger participants even as ETF demand has cooled.
Presale Access and Supported Payment Methods
Investors looking to participate can go to the official Bitcoin Hyper website and connect a crypto wallet, including Best Wallet and MetaMask. The sale currently supports purchases with ETH, BNB, SOL, USDT, USDC, and bank card.
Best Wallet users can also access HYPER through the app’s “Upcoming Tokens” section, available via the Apple App Store and Google Play. The listed presale price remains $0.0136778, with the same advertised 36% staking APY regardless of purchase route.
