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.
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.
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 has recently significantly outperformed the broader market. Its token, HYPE, hit an all-time high following the launch of two related ETFs in the United States. Meanwhile, European traders are accelerating their migration to the platform due to restricted access to perpetual contracts on regulated exchanges. Market analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that with Hyperliquid's continued rally and renewed interest in AI-related crypto projects, signs of improving risk appetite are emerging in the altcoin market. Hyperliquid’s expansion into tokenized stocks, commodities, and pre-IPO assets is strengthening the on-chain asset tokenization trend. He suggested that if market sentiment continues to improve, HYPE’s price could target $100 or even higher.However, Michael van de Poppe also stressed that while Hyperliquid holds a short-term advantage, Solana offers greater long-term investment certainty, transitioning from a "speculative ecosystem" to institutional-grade infrastructure. In the AI track, he noted that NEAR Protocol and Bittensor remain significantly undervalued, citing a disconnect between their fundamental growth and valuations. He pointed out that NEAR’s revenue growth potential and Bittensor’s subnet expansion could support higher valuation ranges. Additionally, he indicated that the privacy sector retains long-term demand, but fully anonymous systems face regulatory pressure. The future is more likely to be dominated by zero-knowledge proofs and compliant privacy solutions.On the macro level, Michael van de Poppe highlighted that bond yields and central bank policies remain the core drivers of the crypto market, with changes in Japanese government bond yields potentially serving as a key barometer.

that, according to on-chain analyst Ember Monitoring, following news that the CME and the New York Stock Exchange have jointly pushed US regulators to strengthen oversight of Hyperliquid, HYPE has retraced 4% from $45 to $43. An address named asssdfc transferred 8.826 million USDC to Hyperliquid 20 minutes ago after the news broke to short HYPE. It has already opened a $7 million short position on HYPE with an entry price of $43.1 and is still increasing its short position.
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.
