According to monitoring by Ash, HYPE rallied following news of Hyperliquid's plans to enter the U.S. market. Subsequently, a wallet transferred 488,600 HYPE tokens (valued at approximately $40.91 million), which it had accumulated via FalconX five months earlier, to Hyperliquid and staked them. The wallet's entry price was around $35, generating an unrealized profit of approximately $23.73 million on the position and a return of roughly 138%.
Odaily News - PURR, a token related to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, rose approximately 15% after Hyperliquid Strategies published its "HYPE Treasury" and balance sheet updates.According to the disclosure, Hyperliquid Strategies has completed a $647 million equity financing round and increased its HYPE token reserve to 29.3 million tokens, valued at approximately $1.9 billion based on fiscal year-end prices—more than doubling from its previous size.The company stated that it subsequently invested an additional $773.4 million to acquire approximately 16.5 million HYPE tokens at an average purchase price of $46.77. The company said the continued expansion of its HYPE holdings is aimed at building a "fortress balance sheet" to strengthen long-term support for the Hyperliquid ecosystem.Market observers believe that sustained institutional allocation to HYPE assets has further reinforced expectations regarding the Hyperliquid ecosystem's value-capture capabilities, driving related ecosystem tokens like PURR higher.

According to Digital Asset, Hyperliquid launched the AQAv2 (Aligned Quote Asset v2) mechanism on August 26, allocating a portion of the returns generated by USDC reserves on the platform toward capital accumulation, which will ultimately be directed to the Assistance Fund for secondary market repurchases and burns of HYPE to reduce its circulating supply. Under this mechanism, Circle is responsible for USDC technical deployment, while Coinbase handles reserve management; stablecoin issuers are expected to share approximately 90% of the relevant reserve returns with the protocol after deducting operating costs. Returns are accumulated on a 30-day cycle, with the initial fund transfer expected on October 3. Market estimates indicate that, based on current USDC outstanding balances and yield rates, annualized returns could reach $135 million to $160 million, although the actual repurchase scale will ultimately depend on the platform's USDC supply and reserve yields.
Odaily News, according to Onchain Lens monitoring, Wintermute (0xecb...2b00) has reduced its short exposure on Hyperliquid from $212 million to $80.48 million since the last update. It still holds $80.48 million in short positions and $5.51 million in long positions. Its HYPE short exposure has increased from $5.6 million to $10.2 million, with an unrealized loss of $568,800.
Odaily Block News: The first proceeds from Hyperliquid's AQAv2 mechanism are expected to enter the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund on October 3. The market anticipates the initial fund size could reach approximately $20 million, which will be used to repurchase HYPE. AQAv2, or Aligned Quote Asset v2, is a stablecoin mechanism announced by Hyperliquid in May this year, allowing stablecoins not exclusively issued by Hyperliquid—including USDC—to qualify for "Aligned" status. According to public information, AQAv2 returns the majority of stablecoin yields to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, with 90% of the proceeds allocated to the relevant mechanism and subsequently used entirely for repurchasing and burning HYPE tokens. Coinbase has been designated as the fund deployment party, with Circle responsible for technical deployment, and both parties will also stake HYPE to participate in the mechanism. Analysts estimate that this mechanism could add approximately $135 million to $160 million in annual HYPE buyback pressure.
According to The Block, Arcus has launched the pToken protocol on Robinhood Chain, which converts positions in perpetual contract accounts with fixed markets and leverage levels into transferable ERC-20 tokens that can be used in on-chain protocols such as lending. The initial release supports leveraged exposure to BTC, SOL, HYPE, and select stock tokens, while also introducing multi-asset collateral functionality that enables SPY, QQQ, and MAG7 tokens to serve as collateral for perpetual trading.

Odaily News – HyperliquidNews posted on X platform that Kinetiq has published an article introducing Elysium. Elysium will use HYPE as its network gas token and will connect with Hyperliquid's HyperEVM and HyperCore. Kinetiq stated that Elysium will enhance transaction processing performance and throughput, supporting Hyperliquid spot trading, PropAMM deployments, and native oracle functionalities based on Hyperliquid data. The article states that Elysium will provide a high-performance EVM environment, supporting token launches from long-tail AMMs, integration with PropAMM, creation of HyperCore spot order books, and perpetual contract deployments via HIP-3. Elysium's sequencer fee allocation plan is as follows: 25% allocated to developer incentives, 25% to the Kinetiq treasury, and 50% used for programmatic KNTQ purchases on the open market, with the purchased KNTQ sent to the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund for burning. Kinetiq stated that Elysium will launch soon, with technical specifications for developers and traders to be released in the near future. At launch, its throughput and performance will exceed that of HyperEVM.
Odaily News – Hyperliquid's native token HYPE is approaching $73. Crypto trader Pentosh1 noted that its fee burn mechanism will expand after the AQAv2 upgrade, potentially supporting continued outperformance in the next bull cycle.Since November 2024, Hyperliquid has repurchased and burned 462 million HYPE, worth approximately $1.27 billion, with about 99% of protocol fees allocated to buybacks. The platform's annualized protocol revenue currently stands at roughly $600 million to $950 million.AQAv2, or Aligned Quote Asset v2, is scheduled to begin on August 26, channeling approximately 90% of the yield generated from the platform's over $5 billion in USDC reserves into the Assistance Fund, with the first payment expected to arrive on October 3.Market observers estimate that AQAv2 could add an additional $135 million to $160 million in annual buyback volume. Coinbase and Circle—designated as Hyperliquid's official USDC fund deployment partners in May—have both committed to staking a significant amount of HYPE to help launch the mechanism.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Lorenzo Valente, Head of Digital Asset Research at investment firm ARK Invest, stated that Hyperliquid is in discussions with the CFTC and SEC to facilitate the offering of perpetual futures on its public chain by U.S.-regulated companies. He suggested that Hyperliquid acquire Gemini to position it as a U.S.-regulated HIP-3/4 deployer. He noted that Gemini's current market value is approximately $450 million, representing a decline of over 85% from its $3.3 billion valuation at the time of its 2025 IPO. Hyperliquid could obtain Gemini's entire U.S. regulatory infrastructure—including the NYDFS Trust Charter, DCM, DCO, FCM, MTLs, and Broker-dealer—for approximately $450 million.He further proposed that Hyperliquid could use approximately 7.9 million HYPE tokens from its community reserve, valued at around $550 million at $70 per token, to complete the acquisition at a premium of roughly 20% over Gemini's current market value. Following the transaction, Gemini would handle KYC, custody, fiat on/off ramps, brokerage, clearing, and compliance for the U.S. market, while Hyperliquid L1 would provide the underlying market infrastructure, liquidity, and on-chain settlement. He cited Polymarket's acquisition of QCEX as a similar precedent for re-entering the U.S. market, and stated that the core of this potential deal is not acquiring an exchange, but rather securing the regulatory bridge for HIP-3/4 to enter the U.S. market.
Odaily News: Hyperliquid ecosystem project team HyperLabs has unlocked 433,025 HYPE, worth approximately $23.46 million, and has been continuously depositing tokens into trading platforms, including Flowdesk and OKX. Tracking data shows that an additional 9.92 million HYPE is expected to be unlocked on September 6, worth approximately $589 million based on a price of $59.39. The Hyper Foundation publishes the claim amounts around the 6th of each month. In March, only 173,217 HYPE were actually claimed, lower than the planned 99,200 tokens. Tokenomist data shows that the aid fund has repurchased 11.9 million HYPE from the unlock schedule, accounting for approximately 14%. The repurchased tokens will be burned, reducing the current total supply to 955.3 million HYPE. Certified Public Accountant Dat Ngo stated that tax liabilities typically arise upon token vesting, and some holders may sell tokens to cover taxes. TMGM CPA Ashley Akin stated that if the market is not overly leveraged, the $581 million unlock can still be absorbed, but combined with margin requirements, it would increase trading difficulty. On-chain perpetual contract trading platform Hyperliquid does not restrict users from trading during certain news events. Market data shows that liquidation volume has dropped 71%, trading volume has fallen 50%, and open interest continues to decline. Bitcoin remains below $65,000, and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes will be released ahead of the Federal Reserve's September 15-16 meeting. (Forbes Digital Assets)

According to CoinDesk, Robinhood announced the launch of a new all-in-one investment app in the UK, providing UK users with zero-fee trading services for over 50 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, XRP, and Hyperliquid (HYPE), among others. Crypto asset trading is accessed through Bitstamp, an exchange acquired by Robinhood in 2025. In addition to crypto assets, the app simultaneously opens trading for traditional financial products such as stocks, Stocks ISA, options, and futures. The platform also launched an AI feature, "Robinhood Cortex Digests for Crypto," which analyzes breaking news, market data, and technical indicators in real-time, and interprets the drivers behind price fluctuations of various crypto assets in plain language.
Odaily News – Hyperliquid's RWA perpetual contract trading is growing rapidly, yet platform revenue continues to decline, creating a divergence of "record-high trading volume versus shrinking retained revenue." Data shows that Hyperliquid's open interest climbed to approximately $11 billion on July 13, hitting a new high for 2026, with perpetual contract trading volume over the past 30 days nearing $178 billion, and its share of global perpetual open interest rising to around 9%. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid's protocol revenue has declined for four consecutive quarters, dropping from roughly $357 million in Q3 2025 to about $202 million in Q2 2026, down approximately 43% from its peak.Analysts attribute this primarily to the HIP-3 mechanism, which allows external developers staking 500,000 HYPE to create their own perpetual markets and earn up to 50% of trading fees. In early 2026, developer-deployed markets accounted for only about 2% of Hyperliquid's perpetual trading volume; that figure has now risen to roughly half, meaning an increasing share of trading revenue is being distributed to external developers.Since approximately 97% of Hyperliquid's trading fees are used to buy back HYPE, the decline in platform revenue directly translates to shrinking buyback scale. As of Friday, HYPE was trading at around $55, down about 28% from its all-time high of roughly $77 on June 16. Meanwhile, core contributors unlocked nearly 10 million HYPE on August 6, valued at approximately $550 million at then-prevailing prices, with subsequent unlock schedules continuing through 2027.Overall, Hyperliquid's trading activity is still growing rapidly, but the revenue diversion caused by HIP-3 is weakening the platform's own earnings growth and HYPE buyback support. The boom in its RWA business has yet to fully translate into earnings growth for HYPE holders. (CoinDesk)
