Bitcoin’s strong run over the past week reached a fresh high last night, with BTC climbing to $76,000 before testing $74,000 as a new support level. As the crypto market gets ready for one of the month’s most closely watched events, the FOMC interest rate announcement, due tomorrow alongside Jerome Powell’s press conference, traders are already adjusting their positions.
BTC has also received solid support from Wall Street, where spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $201.62 million on Monday, bringing the total raised so far in March to $1.54 billion.
If this trend continues, March will be the first month to record total net BTC inflows since last October. Given the impact of the Iran conflict, rising oil prices, and an increasingly complicated global economic backdrop, that would be a remarkable result.
With all that in mind, it’s easy to see why projects connected to Bitcoin have also started attracting experienced investors. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) stands out as a leading example right now, with steady token buying over the past several months and nearly $32 million raised along the way.
With the project’s Bitcoin Layer 2 network expected to launch soon, along with HYPER’s debut on leading DEX and CEX platforms, it appears well placed for major growth in 2026.
How the FOMC Interest Rate Decision Could Influence Market Mood
The Federal Open Market Committee’s U.S. interest rate decision is widely expected to leave borrowing costs unchanged, so most attention will likely turn to Jerome Powell’s remarks during tomorrow’s FOMC press conference.
Put simply, investors want to know whether the Fed still sees room for rate cuts later this year or whether it plans to remain more cautious.
The war in Iran, along with its global ripple effects, has dominated headlines in recent weeks. The conflict has pushed oil prices higher and created major swings across traditional markets. Even so, Bitcoin has shown notable strength through it all and had even touched $76,000 as of this morning.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have also attracted capital for 6 straight days, boosting BTC’s price and helping build strong support levels.
CryptoKaleo, a trader with 731,000 followers on X, recently posted that “$100K is a magnet” for Bitcoin, supporting the claim with a BTC chart showing a trendline breakout.

Kaleo’s comment reflects growing confidence among traders that fresh highs are still possible despite the wider macro uncertainty.
For some BTC holders, that feeling is enough to simply hold and wait — but more and more investors are looking for new ways to gain exposure and aim for bigger returns. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) and its presale come in, offering an ambitious attempt to make BTC far more flexible and useful.
Bitcoin Hyper Aims to Make Bitcoin More Flexible and Easier to Use
The team behind Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is working to launch what it describes as the fastest Bitcoin Layer 2 in the industry, and the project’s roadmap currently places the mainnet launch at the end of Q1.
By using the high-performance Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), the project aims to offer fast, low-cost transactions while keeping the security of Bitcoin’s main network.
The Layer 2 includes a bridge designed not to rely on a middleman, so users can move BTC from the main Bitcoin blockchain and receive the same amount of WBTC (Wrapped BTC) on the Layer 2. From there, they can make near-instant transactions and use a wide range of apps, including finance tools, meme coin launchpads, NFT marketplaces, games, and more.
To keep things secure, system updates will be regularly tied back to Bitcoin using zero-knowledge proofs.
Bigger. Faster. Stronger. 💪

HYPER is the project’s main token and will also be used for staking and governance features. In the ongoing presale, HYPER is now priced at $0.0136771, with nearly $32 million already committed. Early participants can stake their tokens for a 37% APY.
Given Bitcoin’s recent rally and the clear demand for a network that can do more, Bitcoin Hyper’s timing looks especially strong. In simple terms, the project aims to turn the excitement around Bitcoin’s next chapter into something people can actually use — a bit like adding faster lanes and more exits to a busy highway, so the journey becomes smoother for everyone.
