the spot ETF product associated with Hyperliquid recorded approximately $22.3 million in net inflows during its first week of trading. Market analysts believe this reflects strong institutional demand and the expansion of the on-chain derivatives ecosystem. Data shows that Hyperliquid currently captures over 42% of the fee share in the on-chain derivatives market, significantly ahead of the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems. Analysts suggest that the token (HYPE) buyback and burn mechanism further amplifies the transmission effect of ETF fund flows on price. (The Block)Previously reported, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that the continued rise in THYP trading volume is "a positive signal of increasing organic demand" and noted that Hyperliquid's high fee revenue may be a key factor attracting investor attention.

According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, HYPE has become one of the strongest-performing tokens in the crypto market since the outbreak of the Iran conflict, surging over 100% from its 2026 lows—with particularly pronounced outperformance relative to Bitcoin. The core driver behind this strength lies in Hyperliquid’s ongoing expansion beyond crypto into other asset classes, having successively launched TradFi-linked products such as oil and SpaceX perpetual contracts, thereby attracting substantial capital inflows. Thielen notes that this trend reflects a broader acceleration by crypto exchanges into high-volatility, topical traditional financial derivatives—and signals that the intrinsic value of crypto infrastructure itself is gradually surpassing the crypto narrative. Although HYPE is already a highly crowded long position with strong conviction among market participants, its current momentum remains robust.
