HYPE has fallen about 22% from its September high of nearly $98. Over the same period, Hyperliquid’s open interest remained around $7.7 billion, while its market cap stood at about $17 billion. The price has retreated, but the size of positions on the platform has not shrunk in tandem—this is the most notable contrast in these figures.
According to Bitcoin.com News, the platform has generated billions of dollars in cumulative trading fees and has pursued substantial token buybacks. However, the outlet also says its share of markets related to real-world assets (RWA) is shrinking, and identifies this as a challenge for bulls. The former figures are verifiable measures of scale; the latter is the source’s assessment. They should not be conflated into a single conclusion.
The assessment can be broken into two parts: the price decline refers only to HYPE’s retreat from its own high; the platform’s strength is assessed by open interest, market cap, and fees, with the continuation of buybacks also relevant to this part. The source material gives no specific figures or timeline for whether RWA market share will continue to fall, so this cannot yet be verified.
