Investor enthusiasm propels HYPE toward unprecedented heights as major players aggressively accumulate on pullbacks.

Hyperliquid’s [$HYPE] traders are increasingly bullish right now! The platform is one of crypto’s biggest on-chain trading venues, and the belief is that it is now challenging some of the industry’s biggest players.

$HYPE nears $ATH as whales buy the fear

$HYPE is back near its previous $ATH. What stands out now though, is how the market reacted to pressure.

Even with growing regulatory concerns and some pulled liquidity, $HYPE has continued to climb on the charts. In fact, whale data also hinted at buying through the fear, all while retail stayed back in cautiousness.

According to Alphractal, while funding has slowed down, leverage has been more balanced, with the OI rebuilding too.

There’s some real weight behind the rally

$HYPE’s market cap has reportedly crossed $14.9 billion, pushing it into the top 10. Additionally, Hyperliquid has also flipped Solana [SOL] by FDV.

In the past week alone, 21Shares’ THYP ETF listed on Nasdaq with $1.8 million in day-one volume, followed by Bitwise’s BHYP, which opened with $4.31 million. Around the same time, Coinbase became Hyperliquid’s USDC treasury deployer. This could route $135-160 million annually towards $HYPE buybacks.
