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.
Two of Hyperion's marquee 'triple-dip' yield deals — 800,000 HYPE, roughly 40% of its treasury — come back to the firm as Coinbase prepares to install USDC as Hyperliquid's quote asset.
Britain's ban on retail crypto derivatives puts Hyperliquid on the wrong side of UK law, and the platform's HIP-3 push into oil, gold, and equities is exactly the overlap CME and ICE just raised with…
The Binance founder's first extended public comment on Aster frames it as privacy-native and multi-chain, not a head-to-head challenger to Hyperliquid's open-orderbook model.
The clash crystallises a broader retail-trader grievance: high-profile commentators touting tokens publicly then quietly rotating out before the bid thins out, leaving followers holding the bag.
Five storylines from the week that matter for DeFi: Hyperliquid's perp volume peaks, Radiant Capital plans a wind-down, Polymarket alleges Kalshi espionage, Kelp DAO's bridge loses funds, and the…
Across the digital asset treasury universe, only HYPE-focused vehicles are still sitting on meaningful unrealized gains — Strategy, Bitmine and Metaplanet alone carry more than $25B in combined paper…
Six moves from the week that mattered: a corporate-treasury disposal, a high-profile trader exit, a TradFi-onchain crossover, an ETH accumulation, a federal reserve study, and 24/7 derivatives access.
Artemis data shows only one major digital asset treasury — Hyperliquid Strategies — is still in the green, with roughly $1.2B in unrealized gains.
A $3M bitcoin print and a $19M ether print — both driven by BlackRock — ended the longest redemption runs since launch, but the inflows are statistical noise against $4.4B of prior outflows and a…
The 224K HYPE withdraw is a flow signal; the $131M paper profit at an average cost of $46.7 is the conviction signal — a16z keeps adding while the mark sits well above its entry.
The trigger was a Broadcom chip miss, but the real story is the structural bid leaving the market: 13 straight sessions of spot BTC ETF outflows and Strategy's first disclosed sale since 2022.
A 24-hour cascade hit markets hard: over $1.1B in liquidations, a critical Zcash counterfeiting flaw, and a House panel teeing up crypto tax legislation.
Two fresh wallets have now drained $75.8M in $HYPE off centralized venues in three days — a pattern of accumulation that echoes the early-inning institutional bids seen across majors this cycle.
The headline is the exit at $67 — a third below his $150 target — but the real read is Thielen's valuation flag: HYPE traded at 25x projected fee revenue near the highs, with a June token unlock…
Nearly $2.7B left spot BTC and ETH ETFs over two weeks while XRP, Solana and HYPE funds absorbed the bid — the signal is rotation, not retreat.
Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX and one of crypto's most-followed macro traders, sold 247,334 HYPE tokens worth…
The market-cap gap is still ~38x in Solana's favor, but HYPE's perps volume and fee capture have structurally outgrown what a pure L1 should be earning on-chain.
Arthur Hayes has fully exited his HYPE and NEAR positions, citing two macro-level catalysts as the reason: the…
The BitMEX co-founder is closing his HYPE and NEAR longs ahead of a Tuesday essay arguing that an energy-shock + AI-IPO combo hands Trump an anti-AI lever into 2026.
Hayes is rotating out of crypto into cash as energy costs, an AI-IPO pipeline, and election-year politics converge into a textbook late-cycle setup — the kind of de-risking that has historically…
Where Zipp's editorial desk has weighed in on this token.
Bitcoin holds $64K while a Fed split, a Coldcard drain, and fading CLARITY Act odds test a sentiment already sitting in fear.
A 594 BTC hardware-wallet drain, three Fed hawks, and an ETF rebound driven almost entirely by BlackRock. The bid is thinner than the tape suggests.
