Bitcoin Falls Below $77K as Fed Hike Odds Near 70%
Hotter producer inflation lifted yields as spot Bitcoin ETF outflows accelerated, leaving Bitcoin less than $800 above a key support level ahead of U.S. CPI.
Hyperliquid is a layer one (L1) blockchain built around decentralized trading, with its flagship platform designed primarily for perpetual futures and spot markets. The ecosystem extends well beyond its decentralized exchange (DEX), supporting additional services such as borrowing and lending, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and a fully integrated Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) environment that allows Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to run on the network. The network operates on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and functions as a smart contract platform, positioning it as a broad infrastructure layer for decentralized finance (DeFi) rather than a single-purpose application. HYPE is the network's native token, with a capped maximum supply of 1 billion. Within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, the token serves governance and utility functions tied to the operation of the chain and its associated exchange-based activities.

The closure is the cleanest signal yet that meme-only altcoin ETFs can't attract durable flow, with BWOW capped near $3M in daily volume and the DOGE cohort pulling in just $318K in net inflows last…
Three HYPE-tracking ETFs are already live and a CFTC-led US path is taking shape. The buyback routes trading fees straight back to token holders, and that loop is the real angle.
The latest buy brings wallet 0x8e48's 8-month accumulation to 1.89M $HYPE (~$159M), all routed through Galaxy Digital and staked: a patient, structurally-funded bid rather than a one-off swing trade.
A former US Solicitor General is now arguing that letting incumbents sue regulators over every new product would freeze US derivatives innovation and protect the legacy order.
Consistent daily sell pressure from a single large holder signals profit-taking at scale, a pattern that historically weighs on token price until the selling program exhausts itself.
The composition of that OI matters: core crypto perps now dominate again after HIP-3's share slid from 34% to 25%, and a dollar on core perps routes 97% of fees into HYPE buybacks.
A White House mention without any industry coordination is a strong tell that federal regulators are already mapping out how to onboard Hyperliquid under U.S. rules.
Ten consecutive days of buying with no reversal signals a conviction-driven accumulation, not a one-off entry, and puts $HYPE on the radar of traders watching for sustained smart-money positioning.
HIP-3* lets a single builder gate its own perpetuals venue while the rest of Hyperliquid stays permissionless, a structural onramp for firms with KYC or jurisdictional constraints.
Five spot ETF categories all booked inflows last week, with SOL extending a 10-week streak and BTC logging its third straight positive week.
StonkFun's Raydium LaunchLab tie-up is dragging RAY and JUP higher too, but the STONK/SPYx pool gives holders no claim on the underlying S&P 500 shares.
The list spans a trading firm and two established banks, giving HYPE ETF exposure a visible institutional footprint and a benchmark for future 13F updates.
The Hyperliquid token's six-month gain of 175.9% and $629M in daily volume signal that this is more than a short-term momentum trade.
Arkham-tracked wallets show BHYP absorbing $10.5M of HYPE on Friday, its biggest single-day buy since August 27, after four quiet sessions that had tested the institutional conviction thesis.
The potential $527K daily flow is the HYPE angle, but the estimate depends on AQA v2 balances, SOFR and an assumed 90% revenue share for the Assistance Fund.
First 13F snapshot shows who's behind the $481M AUM in Hyperliquid ETFs: UBS, BMO, Jane Street and Brevan Howard all on the holder list, with $356M in net inflows since May.
The full-position stake gives the purchase an ecosystem angle and limits the amount of HYPE immediately available for selling while it remains staked.
274.6K $HYPE (≈23.6M) moved from unknown wallet to #HyperCore.
251.8K $HYPE (≈21.4M) moved from #HyperCore to #Kinetiq.
