Important recent news about HYPE:
1️⃣ Commodity Futures Ecosystem Sparks Trading Boom to Record Highs
The HIP-3 mechanism has driven the decentralized perpetual contract market’s open interest to surpass $790 million, a new all-time high, more than tripling from $260 million a month ago. Metal contracts are exceptionally active, with silver contracts (SILVER) trading $1.102 billion in 24 hours, gold contracts (PAXG+GOLD) totaling $169 million, and copper contracts (COPPER) reaching $71.52 million in 24 hours. As global precious metal prices continue to rise, boosting safe-haven demand, these commodity derivatives markets have entered the platform’s top ten mainstream trading pairs. Hyperliquid’s total open interest has reached $8.12 billion, accounting for 48% of the total mainstream Perp DEX volume. The platform’s trading volume also remains industry-leading, with about $7.14 billion daily, making it one of the most liquid derivatives trading centers in the industry.
2️⃣ Token Deflation Mechanism and Whale Accumulation Provide Double Support
The protocol directs most trading fees to a buyback pool that continuously repurchases HYPE, with over $44 million in buybacks in the past 30 days. Additionally, when users pay fees with HYPE, the tokens are burned directly, creating a dual deflationary effect that tightens circulating supply. On-chain data shows several institutional whales are accelerating their positions, with over $10 million worth of HYPE transferred to private addresses in the past 24 hours, some through OTC channels for large trades. Major whale addresses have been building long positions with 5-10x leverage in the $25-$26 range, with one whale opening a long position of 84,900 HYPE at an average entry price of $26.15, indicating strong institutional confidence in the future market. Well-known traders like Huang Licheng are also continuously adding to their holdings, with total positions now valued at $20.8 million.
3️⃣ Market Selling Pressure Has Basically Released, Technical Reversal Looks Positive
The three main sources of previous token price suppression have largely subsided. Tornado Cash clusters hold about 4.4 million HYPE, but their daily liquidation scale is limited, with Wintermute market makers arbitraging and transferring to off-chain buyers like Resolv Labs, so actual market selling pressure is much lower than initially expected. Aggressive long leverage positions created at high levels of $45-$50 have been mostly liquidated, with remaining long liquidations below $15 totaling $150 million. The downward pressure from leverage has largely dissipated. Technical indicators show a clear reversal trend: price has broken out of a long-term descending wedge, MACD has formed a golden cross, RSI has risen above 60, and candlestick momentum has strengthened significantly, indicating robust buying power. If this momentum continues, the price may approach the $40 region.
