Bitcoin Holds Near $78K as Tensions Ease In US-Iran War: Why Beginners Are Watching Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer-2 Presale

Bitcoin markets have turned calmer after fresh diplomatic progress in the US-Iran war helped reduce some of the outside pressure that had been shaking prices in recent weeks. Bitcoin is now moving in a relatively steady band near $78,000, while the broader crypto market sits around $2.59 trillion with modest daily gains.

The beginner-friendly appeal is straightforward: instead of using Bitcoin only as a slower settlement layer, users would be able to move BTC onto this Layer 2 through a canonical bridge, make near-instant transactions for payments or decentralized applications, and later withdraw with cryptographic verification. Think of it like adding a faster local road system that still connects safely to the main highway.

That pitch has helped the presale raise more than $32.7 million, with the current HYPER price at $0.0136804. Buyers can also choose a combined buy-and-stake option that currently offers 36% APY. According to the project’s stated structure, token allocations are split across development, treasury reserves, marketing, staking rewards, and future exchange listings.

Calmer US-Iran Headlines Have Given Crypto Room to Breathe

Bitcoin is currently trading around $78,000, and the wider market has recorded small daily gains while staying broadly neutral. Analyst Daan Crypto has pointed to liquidity clusters around the $78,000 level and in the $76,500 to $77,000 area. After several tight sessions, he expects a sharper move of 5% or more once Bitcoin finally breaks out of this range.

For newer investors, the key takeaway is that calmer macro conditions do not automatically stop money from flowing into specific parts of the market. In this case, attention has remained on projects trying to improve what Bitcoin can actually do in everyday use.

Strive CEO: The Binance hack incident has not changed the long-term logic of Bitcoin, but it is still too early to determine whether the market has hit bottom
Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that despite Binance suffering a hacker attack worth approximately $6.3 billion, this has not changed his long-term investment judgment on Bitcoin. He described the incident as more of a "bank robbery" of the exchange's system rather than a failure of the Bitcoin network itself. However, it is still too early to determine whether the market has bottomed out.

CFTC Chairman Says Binance Hacker Attack Indicates That Offshore Exchanges Need US Regulation
Michael Selliger, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated that the $6.4 billion hack incident at Binance “precisely demonstrates” the necessity of the crypto market regulations proposed by the agency this month. He described the attack as being more likely caused by a vulnerability introduced through a laptop rather than a flaw in the blockchain itself; however, Binance later indicated that the investigation had uncovered “more entry points” for the attack.
