Arthur Hayes calls $150 for HYPE token.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has publicly predicted that HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange, will reach $150 — a target that would represent a substantial premium over current trading levels.

Hayes has a track record of high-conviction macro and crypto calls, and his endorsement of a specific altcoin price target tends to draw attention from both retail and institutional traders. For HYPE, a token already associated with one of the more technically sophisticated perps venues in DeFi, the mention adds a layer of credibility to the bullish case.

As with any single-source price prediction, the call is directional signal rather than guaranteed outcome — but coming from Hayes, it is the kind of remark the market tends to price in at least partially.
