hyperliquid

Hyperliquid has been moving lower for the last few weeks. After reaching around 72 dollars the price could not move higher again. Every small recovery was followed by more selling. At the time of writing HYPE is trading near 54 dollars. The price is still under pressure and many traders are watching the next support level.
One reason for this pressure is the action of a large holder. A whale recently unstaked about 1.02 million HYPE worth around 57.6 million dollars. These tokens were later moved to trading platforms. The whale first bought these tokens about seventeen months ago when the average price was close to 18 dollars. That means the investment has grown a lot over time.
The same whale also unstaked another 1.89 million HYPE worth about 105.9 million dollars. These tokens have not been moved for trading yet. This is important because unstaking does not always mean a person is ready to sell. Sometimes people simply move their assets or prepare for another plan. Even so many traders become nervous when they see large amounts leaving staking.
This is not happening with only one wallet. More HYPE holders are also removing their tokens from staking. A few days ago the amount waiting to leave staking was much lower. Now the number has grown to about 9.1 million HYPE worth close to 496.6 million dollars. At the same time the total amount of HYPE locked in staking has become smaller. This shows that some long term holders are becoming more careful with their positions.
Still it is important to remember that unstaking is not the same as selling. Some investors may simply want more flexibility. Others may be waiting for a better market before making any decision. The market will only know what happens after those tokens start moving.
The chart is also showing weakness. The trend has stayed on the downside for several weeks. Buyers have tried to push the price higher but sellers have taken control each time. Another market signal also shows that lower price levels have been appearing more often than higher ones. The strength of buyers has also become weaker.
If this selling pressure continues HYPE could test the next support near 52 dollars. If buyers return with strong demand the price may hold above current levels and try another recovery. For now the growing amount of HYPE leaving staking is one of the biggest things that traders are watching because it could affect the next move in the market.

REAL REVENUE GEMS 2026: HYPERLIQUID ( $HYPE )
Starting a new series: projects that actually EARN money. Not promises. Real fees, from real users.
🔰 WHAT IT IS:
A decentralised perpetual futures exchange running on its own Layer 1 chain.
Simple version: it does what Binance Futures does but on-chain, and you keep custody of your funds. Built by Jeff Yan, funded through his own market-making firm. Zero venture capital. Remember that point, it matters later.
LIVE 31 JULY 2026
▪️ Price: ~$55
▪️ Market cap: ~$12.2B (rank #10)
▪️ All-time high: $76.70 on 16 June 2026 → now -28% from top
▪️ Week: -9% ▪️ Month: -19% ▪️ Year: +30%
Read that again. HYPE made a new all-time high in June 2026, while the whole market was bleeding.
🔰 THE BUSINESS:
✅ $871M revenue in 12 months (Grayscale, 24 June 2026)
✅ Monthly fees running $58M–$80M
✅ 97–99% of revenue buys back HYPE from the open market
✅ Buyback averaged ~$74M per month over the last year, about $900M total, ~20M HYPE repurchased
✅ 9.3% of GLOBAL perpetual open interest, measured against Binance and every CEX. Up from 6.9% in late May. Record high.
✅ 70%+ of ALL on-chain perp volume
✅ 30-day volume $172.6B, that is 3.3x Aster, the #2
✅ HyperEVM: $1.5B TVL, 243 protocols
✅ ARK Invest: Hyperliquid + Pump.fun together = ~67% of ALL crypto application revenue
🔰 THE PIVOT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT:
RWA perps were 52% of Hyperliquid's volume in the week of 13–19 July. Target is 75% by 2027.
Stocks, commodities, indices, traded on-chain, 24/7. A community operator launched an NVDA perp that did $12M volume in 24 hours.
Plus: the CFTC approved regulated crypto perpetual futures in the US in June 2026. Hyperliquid is the leading on-chain venue for exactly that.
🔰 NOW THE RISK: THIS IS THE PART THAT MATTERS:
I will not sell you a dream. Here is the math almost nobody shows you:
❌ Only ~252.49M of ~952.91M tokens circulate. Market cap $14B, FDV ~$52B
❌ There is no VC cliff but the team allocation is ~238M tokens, vesting straight-line over 24 months from early 2026
❌ That is ~9.9M HYPE entering supply EVERY MONTH through 2027
❌ The buyback removes ~20M HYPE per YEAR
Compare in tokens, not dollars: ~119M unlocking per year vs ~20M bought back. Unlock is roughly 6x the buyback.
The buyback spends a fixed dollar amount. The unlock releases a fixed token amount. When price falls, the buyback buys more tokens but the unlock never slows down.
Other Risks:
❌ Aster briefly took 50%+ market share in Sept 2025. The lead is defensible, not permanent.
❌ Revenue is 100% tied to trading volume. Bear market = less leverage = less revenue = smaller buyback. All at once.
❌ The March 2025 JELLY incident exposed liquidation and backstop weaknesses
❌ US-listed HYPE funds are in their longest stretch without inflows since launch
❌ Market odds of HYPE hitting $100 by December fell to 20.5%, down from 29% a week earlier
🔰 TRACK THESE 3 THINGS MONTHLY:
1️⃣ Monthly volume → direct proxy for buyback size
2️⃣ Share vs Aster and Lighter
3️⃣ RWA volume % → is the 75% pivot real?
If volume and market share fall together, the thesis is dead. Exit on the data, not the chart.
