Bitcoin settled above $79,000 after the US Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as the next head of the Federal Reserve, a leadership change seen by markets as a potential booster for risk assets and digital asset policy.
Against this backdrop, interest has expanded from spot Bitcoin to Bitcoin infrastructure. One project that is attracting new interest is Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER)which says the pre-sale has now raised more than $32.6 million as it prepares to launch Bitcoin Layer 2 built on the Solana virtual machine.
The project presents itself as a way to address the long-term speed and cost limitations of Bitcoin before a token creation event, while introducing staking during the pre-sale.
Earlier this week, The Senate approved the nomination of Kevin Warsh To the Federal Reserve Board of Governors by a vote of 51 to 45, he was then confirmed as Fed Chairman on Wednesday by a vote of 54 to 45. The vote paves the way for Warsh to replace Jerome Powell as Powell’s term ends on May 15.
Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor and Morgan Stanley CEO, has disclosed holdings tied to decentralized finance protocols, Ethereum scaling networks, Bitcoin Lightning startup, and prediction markets. He said he would relinquish those positions after confirmation.
For traders, the immediate consequence has been the prospect of a more market-oriented approach to pricing and monitoring of digital assets. Bitcoin’s ability to bounce back from the $79,000 area has reinforced this view. Analyst Lennart Snyder, who has been tracking this level closely, said continued stability there could open the way for prices above $81,000.

Why Bitcoin Hyper is getting attention now
As macro conditions change, some investors are moving beyond simple exposure to Bitcoin and turning to projects designed to expand Bitcoin’s utility. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) It is one of those bets, with a design focused on faster execution and lower fees for Bitcoin-based activity.
The network uses a Solana virtual machine in a layer 2 architecture that aggregates and compresses transactions before returning to the Bitcoin base layer. The goal is to provide near-instant transactions while maintaining the security assumptions associated with Bitcoin.
According to the project, zero-knowledge proofs are used to validate transactions, while the underlying bridge and trustless Bitcoin smart contracts allow for the mining and burning of BTC without relying on external custodians.
