Quick Facts:
➡️ Bitcoin’s settlement layer remains dominant, but slow throughput, high fees, and limited programmability leave a gap for scalable, low‑cost transactional use cases.
➡️ Users increasingly want $BTC to do more than sit in cold storage, demanding native access to DeFi, payments, and gaming without fully leaving Bitcoin’s security model.
➡️ Bitcoin Hyper introduces a Bitcoin Layer 2 with SVM integration, targeting Solana‑level performance and bringing fast smart contracts and low‑fee wrapped $BTC payments.
➡️ The $HYPER presale raised over $29M so far and targets a 2026 price point of $0.20 for an ROI of 1,395%.
Bitcoin’s dominance narrative has shifted in 2025. You still have the most battle-tested asset in the market, but native yield, DeFi, and gaming are happening else
