Everyone's saying that
$HYPE is the decentralized exchange model that will gradually replace centralized exchanges — sounds reasonable until you look back at the market:
$BTC has only budged 0.2% around $62,960, and the total crypto market cap is up less than 0.3%, yet
$HYPE is still top of mind.
What I’m skeptical about is that the token price seems to be running ahead of the real use case. The surge in derivatives trading on blockchain is getting all the praise, but most newcomers are jumping in out of fear of missing out, not because they’ve thoroughly read how the exchange charges fees and then buys back the token. When the hype cools down, latecomers usually exit early — no bad news needed, just a drop in new buyers.
→ The decentralized exchange topic is indeed hot, but being hot on Square is different from holding the peak price.
→ BTC's market share is around ~56%, indicating that money is still cautious, and altcoins outside of BTC are prone to individual sell-offs.
The narrative around
$HYPE is intriguing, but confusing "getting talked about a lot" with "hard to drop" can lead to more pain.
