According to The Block, approximately one month after the launch of the first spot HYPE ETFs, the cumulative trading volume across three issuers—21Shares (THYP), Bitwise (BHYP), and Grayscale (HYPG)—has approached $900 million, with net inflows reaching $153 million, reflecting strong institutional allocation intent. All three products hold HYPE tokens directly and pass through staking rewards to investors.

Currently, about 45% of the stakable supply—approximately 434 million HYPE tokens—is staked.
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.

Commodity and index markets including MAG7, semiconductors, and energy will be suspended in batches starting June 18, with open positions being auto-liquidated.vHYPE holders can redeem their staked assets at a 1:1 ratio and claim corresponding rewards.

Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.
