$340M of new HYPE supply is unlocking, and the token is sitting near $93 like nothing happened.
3.75 million tokens, allocated to core contributors, changing hands to a single institutional buyer. Not market-sold. Not auctioned. One wallet to one wallet.
This is the unlock nuance most traders miss. The headline number scares people, but the absorption mechanism is what moves the chart. $340M hitting spot order books would bleed for days. $340M settled OTC never touches a bid.
So the question isn't whether unlocks are bearish. It's who stands on the other side, and what they plan to do next. A buyer writing a nine-figure check in one block usually isn't doing it to market-sell into strength.
