$HYPE hits a new ATH above $82 and AQAv2 adds another bullish angle to the rally.

I had $76 marked as the level to beat, and HYPE pushed straight into new highs after reclaiming it.

The timing is interesting because AQAv2 could turn the yield from $5B+ in USDC reserves into another source of HYPE buybacks and burns, potentially adding $135M–$160M in annual buying pressure.
Then we have the US regulatory push, reported Kraken testing on Hyperliquid, and the continued expansion into RWAs.

Now the next test is $76 again. If that old ATH holds as support, HYPE has a much cleaner setup to keep pushing into uncharted territory.
