BNB Crypto climbed about +2.5% by Wednesday morning (January 28), reclaiming its key level of $900 in the process. The Binance-backed token is one of the strongest performers over the past year, up +34% from this time last year, all while most other major caps are in the red.
The overnight pump across the crypto market has seen the total market cap rise back above $3.1 trillion as buyers returned to large-cap altcoins, with BNB USD, SOL, and the Ethereum price all pumping by + 2.5% and +3%.
This price spike comes as the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), the Layer-1 blockchain that uses BNB as its native token, has seen a jump in TVL (Total Value Locked), up +1.59% on the day and now sitting at $6.85Bn, per DefiLlama.
Major caps aren’t the only tokens on the up; crypto presales are seeing an influx of investment across the board, and none more than Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), the first-ever native Layer-2 protocol for the Bitcoin base layer, which just hit $31M in ICO funding. Stick around until the end to find out why HYPER is the must-have utility/meme coin token for 2026.
Every rollup needs a sequencer; the real question is how control evolves over time. Bitcoin Hyper starts simple with a single sequencer, but is designed to progress toward distributed, neutral sequencing anchored by Bitcoin itself.

Is a +2.5% Move for BNB Crypto a Sign of Bigger Things to Come?
A +2.5% rise may seem insignificant for those who have been around as long as I have, when bull markets have gifted us with triple-digit pumps in less than a day, but this is a different market right now, and for a top-five crypto by market cap, it shows steady demand.
While smaller coins can still jump by +20% in a day on hype alone, larger, more established coins move more slowly because liquidity is thicker and more money is required to move the charts.
This move also hints that users still want alternatives to Ethereum. While the Ethereum network remains the leading chain for DeFi, stablecoins, and TVL, users want the fastest, cheapest experience possible, which is why BSC has remained so popular for many years now.
BNB crypto bounced perfectly from a heavy support zone at $860, and as long as it closes the day above $900 (currently trading at around $904), a push toward $950-960, the prior highs, is the next logical target level.

Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) Presale Slams $31M in ICO Funding: Biggest Crypto Presale in 2026?
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) has officially crossed $31M raised in its presale, a milestone that places it in rare company among early-stage crypto projects. And this funding comes without the backing of billion-dollar VC firms, pulling from everyday investors who have marked HYPER as the next big thing.
Historically, presales that reached this level of momentum signaled something powerful: strong narrative alignment, viral appeal, and a community forming before the wider market paid attention.
To put it in context, BNB crypto raised just $15M in its token sale back in 2017, while ETH raised $18M. HYPER has already raised more than double that of BNB, and $13M more than Ethereum, with its ICO still ongoing.
If this doesn’t highlight the hype and demand behind the first-ever Layer-2 protocol on Bitcoin, I don’t know what to tell you.
How Does HYPER Work and How to Invest
Bitcoin Hyper’s execution layer uses the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) for smart contract support and high-speed transactions. This brings throughput and low fees to Bitcoin-linked assets.
Transactions are batched and compressed off-chain, then anchored back to Bitcoin’s Layer-1 via periodic proofs, often using zero-knowledge proofs to ensure validity while minimizing on-chain data.
The state of the HYPER Layer-2 network, including its aggregated transactions and proofs, will be periodically committed to Bitcoin’s blockchain, preserving Bitcoin’s security guarantees while enabling insanely fast throughput.
Currently, the presale is the only way to secure HYPER ahead of major exchange listings. The total buys for HYPER have already reached over $31M and are still pouring in.
And new investors can join by visiting the Bitcoin Hyper website and purchasing using SOL, ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, or even a credit card.
There are just 6 hours left until the HYPER presale moves to its next price stage, and anyone who gets in before the timer hits zero will automatically lock in profits.
