Spot HYPE ETF trading volume approaches $900 million, early demand indicates institutional interest
approximately one month after the launch of the first spot HYPE ETFs, early trading data has been robust, indicating demand from institutional investors for Hyperliquid-related exposure.Currently, three issuers offer HYPE investment products through regulated brokerage channels, including 21Shares' THYP, Bitwise's BHYP, and Grayscale's HYPG. The cumulative trading volume for these three products since their launch has neared $900 million, with net inflows reaching $153 million.However, trading activity is not evenly distributed among the products. BHYP and THYP account for the majority of the volume, while the later-launched HYPG is still in its volume ramping phase.Unlike some tokens that primarily rely on speculative demand, HYPE's value proposition is more directly linked to Hyperliquid's trading activity. Approximately 97% of Hyperliquid's transaction fees flow into the Assistance Fund, creating a linkage between trading volume and token demand through an automatic buyback mechanism.
FalconX: Hyperliquid is Challenging Traditional Exchanges and Prediction Markets
a report released by FalconX shows that the crypto derivatives platform Hyperliquid is expanding from perpetual contracts to pre-IPO trading, prediction contracts, and tokenized real-world assets, beginning to compete with traditional exchanges and prediction market operators. The report indicates that Hyperliquid's HIP-3 market allows users to trade stocks, commodities, forex, and pre-IPO contracts 24/7, with traders already using it for pre-IPO speculation on companies such as Cerebras, Anthropic, and SpaceX. The HIP-4 outcome market allows traders to place binary bets on political, economic, and crypto events.In terms of capital inflows, the HYPE spot ETFs launched by 21Shares and Bitwise have attracted a combined $53 million in inflows within just a few trading days. Hyperliquid's USDC partnership with Coinbase and Circle is expected to generate up to $160 million in annual protocol revenue. FalconX warns that CME and ICE have expressed concerns to regulators about potential market manipulation risks on the Hyperliquid market. Nevertheless, Hyperliquid continues to lead the decentralized perpetual contract market in terms of trading volume, revenue, and total value locked. (CoinDesk)
Hyperliquid Responds to Regulatory Pressure, Claims On-Chain Perpetual Contracts are More Transparent and Efficient
the Hyperliquid Policy Center stated that Hyperliquid, as an on-chain perpetual contract trading platform, can provide a new model for market integrity and transparency. The agency claimed that Hyperliquid makes all on-chain transaction records publicly available in real-time, which helps regulators and law enforcement agencies with monitoring, identification, and investigation, and also reduces the risks of insider trading and price manipulation.Previous reports indicated that ICE and CME are communicating with U.S. regulators, urging the CFTC to strengthen oversight of Hyperliquid. Their argument is that the platform's 24/7 operation of commodity trading could pose manipulation risks to markets such as global oil prices.Hyperliquid has recently experienced rapid growth in the commodity trading sector, partly due to its support for non-traditional trading hours and weekend trading. This week, 21Shares and Bitwise also successively launched ETFs related to Hyperliquid, citing increased oil and metal trading activity on the platform.The Hyperliquid Policy Center, however, believes that round-the-clock trading actually enhances market efficiency. Since price changes do not stop when traditional exchanges are closed, continuous trading helps reduce gaps between trading sessions and improves price discovery.
21Shares Hyperliquid ETF to Launch on May 12
According to an official announcement, the 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF (THYP) will launch on May 12, 2026, Eastern Time. The announcement also notes that this fund is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore is not subject to regulation under that Act—unlike most ETFs or mutual funds. 21Shares US further states that investing in THYP involves significant risks and high volatility, making it unsuitable for investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. Moreover, investing in THYP is not equivalent to directly investing in HYPE.
Analysis: Bitcoin Stalled at Key Resistance, ETF Outflows and Fed Divergence Amplify Market Caution
Bitcoin remained near $76,000 on Thursday. After the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, market attention quickly shifted to internal policy divergence and macroeconomic uncertainty. Analysts noted that Bitcoin remains suppressed below the key resistance range of $78,000 to $79,000, lacking short-term breakout momentum.Thomas Perfumo, Chief Economist at Kraken, stated that the market is currently more focused on policy uncertainty stemming from internal "divisions" within the Federal Reserve rather than the inaction itself. This is particularly true against the backdrop of Chairman Jerome Powell's continued tenure and the potential expectation of Kevin Warsh succeeding him, creating a lack of clear policy transition.Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin remains "trapped" below the True Market Mean, with resistance concentrated in the $78,000 to $79,000 range and support lying between $65,000 and $70,000. While selling pressure has eased, demand remains insufficient to support a sustained upward breakout.On the macro front, the Fed has shown rare, severe internal disagreements, interpreted by the market as rising uncertainty over the inflation path. Analysts from institutions like Bitget Wallet and 21Shares point out that the expectation of "higher rates for longer" is suppressing risk asset performance, pushing the crypto market into a wait-and-see phase.Regarding capital flows, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net outflows for three consecutive days, with a single-day outflow of approximately $138 million on April 29. Ethereum ETFs saw outflows of about $87.7 million over the same period. Although individual products still saw inflows, the overall trend indicates cooling institutional demand.Meanwhile, CME open interest and ETF assets under management have stabilized but have yet to show strong signals of capital return. In the derivatives market, short positions in perpetual contracts have reached an all-time high, suggesting a potential squeeze if sentiment improves. However, the current market remains dominated by a low-volatility, low-confidence consolidation structure.Overall, Bitcoin is caught in a tug-of-war between an improving support structure and weak demand. Sustained ETF outflows, policy uncertainty, and macroeconomic risks collectively suppress its ability to break through the key resistance range. (The Block)
UK startup Stratiphy to enable UK investors to hold cryptocurrencies in Individual Savings Accounts
According to the Financial Times, UK-based startup Stratiphy will offer both cryptocurrency exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and innovative finance ISAs (IF ISAs), enabling investors to hold crypto assets within capital gains tax-free accounts. Stratiphy provides three ETNs issued by 21Shares—the largest European crypto ETP issuer—which track Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a Bitcoin-and-gold composite product. The platform currently manages approximately £4 million in assets and serves around 2,000 clients. In October last year, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority lifted its four-year ban on retail investors purchasing exchange-traded notes (ETNs).
