Bitcoin plunged below $71,000 Monday following President Trump's order for a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz—a dramatic oil shock that spiked crude prices and triggered a market-wide risk-off shift. The flagship cryptocurrency traded near $70,700 as WTI crude surged 8% to $104.40 after failed Iran peace talks, highlighting crypto's growing sensitivity to macro-geopolitical shocks. Defying the sell-off, the Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) presale has now raised over $32.39 million, signaling strong investor conviction in Bitcoin-linked infrastructure beyond short-term volatility.
While spot BTC has weakened, interest has remained firm in projects positioned around Bitcoin network utility. That has kept focus on the Bitcoin Hyper presale, which is marketing itself as a Layer 2 network aimed at improving Bitcoin transaction speed and costs.
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is being built on the Solana Virtual Machine, with the project saying its network will support faster, lower-cost transfers as well as DeFi and dApp functionality. The design uses a non-custodial bridge intended to preserve Bitcoin Layer 1 security while expanding what users can do on top of the chain.
In practical terms, the pitch is straightforward: users gain a more flexible Bitcoin-based environment without sacrificing the decentralization and finality of the base network.

The HYPER token will be used for gas fees, staking rewards, and governance. Total supply is capped at 21 billion, with allocations covering development, treasury, marketing, rewards, and exchange listings.
With Bitcoin under pressure from the oil move, supporters of the project are framing the HYPER presale as an alternative way to express a long-term Bitcoin view through ecosystem expansion rather than spot exposure alone.
The current presale stage ends tomorrow, with HYPER priced at $0.0136785.
Investors can review the offering and participate through the official Bitcoin Hyper presale website. The sale supports ETH, BNB, USDT, USDC, SOL, and bank card payments.
HYPER can also be purchased through the Best Wallet crypto wallet, available via the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Purchased tokens can be staked immediately at a current 36% APY.
For project updates, users can follow Bitcoin Hyper on X and join the official Telegram channel.
