Anyone who already had a withdrawal queued before today got swept into this same batch automatically. For holders, the math is straightforward.

]]>A major endorsement from a traditional finance titan is rapidly placing Hyperliquid among the top DEXs. The statement from Jeff Sprecher, founder of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and owner of the New York Stock Exchange, sent the token 10% higher today. This rally comes at a critical moment, with Hyperliquid’s native token sitting right around all time highs. Market participants do not just react to price moves, they respond to the credibility of the endorsement itself. This validation is more legitimate than those presented by some in the typical crypto social media hype. It comes from a central part of global

The trader’s uncanny ability to navigate the volatile crypto market and generate substantial returns is turning many heads inside (and outside) the trading community. At 4 a.m., a trader deposited 4.03 million USDC into his Hyperliquid margin account in two lifts. With that cash and then some, he opened long positions in Ethereum

]]>On March 12, official data revealed that the HyperLiquid Treasury (HLP) suffered a short-term loss of over $4 million, with many speculating that the cause of this substantial loss was tied to the liquidation of a massive 160,000 ETH position. The event marks a significant moment for HyperLiquid, a platform known for its high-leverage trading, as the liquidation occurred at a time of heightened market volatility, resulting in a ripple effect that extended beyond the immediate trading event. The liquidation involved a whale who held a $306 million position in Ethereum (ETH) at a price of $1,915 per ETH. Using

]]>A decentralized finance (DeFi) platform named Hyperliquid has achieved a remarkable feat and now reports that its total trading volume has surpassed $1 trillion. This achievement is all the more stunning because it occurred in only two years since the platform’s inception, which speaks to the sort of user adoption that DeFi platforms rarely see. A Phenomenal Growth Trajectory Hyperliquid’s growth story is nothing short of remarkable. Started with very few initial resources and no trading volume in February 2023, the platform has soared to an astronomical $1 trillion trading volume in March 2025. It is a decentralized platform for

]]>While the general cryptocurrency market has experienced a decline in certain altcoins, one asset appears to be drawing the substantial attention of major investors: $HYPE. Even though the token is now down to the lower end of its range, cryptocurrency “whales”—individuals or entities that hold large amounts of crypto—are making some impressive moves. They’re depositing millions of dollars in USDC (a stablecoin that holds its value against the U.S. dollar) into Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, and using that capital to purchase $HYPE. These large and apparently well-coordinated buys have propelled Hyperliquid to its highest trading levels of 2023. A Contradiction

Rumor has it, then, that this surprise move might be a comeback play for this whale as the price of $HYPE has surged 8% today. Wagering on $HYPE was a bet placed
