According to The Block, Grayscale stated in its updated filing that it is negotiating with Hyper Holdings Global LP to acquire 2 million HYPE tokens in exchange for selling fund shares, as seed investment for its proposed Hyperliquid staking ETF. Valued at Thursday’s price, this portion of HYPE is worth approximately $115 million.
Odaily, McKenna, a partner at Arete Capital, shared a bullish outlook, stating that HYPE has firmly established itself at its all-time high, with a first target price of $84. Based on the recent strong momentum, he expects it to surpass $100 in less than 12 months.McKenna specifically noted that the HYPE spot ETF has seen strong capital inflows since launching in the $50 range, proving that traditional financial institutions are eager to enter at this price level. Data shows that the HYPE ETF absorbed over $72 million shortly after listing, with institutional capital flowing in at a pace comparable to the early Bitcoin ETF frenzy.
According to Kairos Research data, Hyperliquid’s (HYPE) spot ETF absorbed 1.04% of its market capitalization within the first 10 trading days after launch—outperforming the debut performance of spot ETFs for Bitcoin (0.59%), Ethereum (0.41%), and Solana (0.31%) when measured by market-cap-adjusted demand. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that 21Shares’ HYPE ETF (THYP) has surged 50% since its launch two weeks ago—growing faster than BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT.
According to The Block, Bitcoin continued trading below $78,000 on Monday, following net outflows of $1.26 billion from spot Bitcoin ETFs during the week of May 18–22—the second consecutive week of outflows exceeding $1 billion. Nevertheless, Timothy Misir, Research Head at BRN, noted that institutional demand has not vanished but is rotating: during the same period, the XRP ETF attracted $22 million in inflows, the Solana ETF drew $16 million, the newly launched Hyperliquid HYPE ETF garnered $72 million, while the Ethereum ETF saw outflows of $216 million. Ethereum also faced pressure due to the SEC’s delay of its tokenized stock trading initiative, though it posted a modest rebound on Sunday amid heightened optimism surrounding the Iran deal. On the options front, for Bitcoin expiring on May 29, the largest open interest concentrations were at the $75,000 put and $80,000 call strikes; for Ethereum, the largest open interest concentration was at the $2,100 put strike. On the macro front, U.S. and European markets were closed for public holidays, and analysts warned of low market liquidity. Should the Iran deal materialize, it could trigger a sharp drop in oil prices and push equity markets to new highs.
trade.xyz, a Hyperliquid ecosystem exchange platform, successfully secured the listing rights for MiniMax perpetual contracts in HIP-3’s Dutch auction at a price of 500 HYPE tokens (approximately USD $30,660). Following the successful auction, trade.xyz has officially launched MiniMax (HKEX: 00100.HK) perpetual contracts and will soon open trading.
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.

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, a whale address on Hyperliquid—previously drawing attention for aggressively going long on HYPE ahead of Robinhood’s listing of the token—has seen its unrealized profit on HYPE long positions increase from $11.8179 million to $13.8535 million, with its return rising from 90.64% to 103.03%. The address currently holds a position size of approximately $67.2274 million, with an average entry price of $38.68; HYPE’s current price stands at $48.71, and its liquidation price is $38.93.
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.
Euler Finance announced it will take over the maintenance and operation of the Euler contract stack known as Mewler under HypurrFi on the Hyperliquid EVM. The relevant infrastructure is undergoing a smooth transition, with Clearstar Labs continuing to serve as the risk manager for the Prime, Yield, and Earn vaults. HypurrFi Scale and Pooled Markets are scheduled to gradually wind down and undergo orderly liquidation over the coming weeks. However, all existing markets remain solvent and fully operational, with no security vulnerabilities or emergency parameter adjustments.During the migration process, new borrowing functionality for some Pooled assets has been frozen, but HYPE, USDC, and USDT0 can still be used for liquidity provision to allow borrowers to gradually unwind their positions. Euler emphasized that its isolated lending architecture on HyperEVM will continue to serve as core infrastructure, jointly maintained by Euler and Clearstar Labs.The HypurrFi team stated that user deposits, positions, and collateral assets remain fully secure. This adjustment is an active strategic migration, not a security incident or protocol failure. According to the plan, Euler Prime and Yield markets will become the primary entry points for lending and yield markets on HyperEVM moving forward. The HypurrFi brand will be gradually phased out, with related support services closing after May 28. Full market liquidation is expected to be completed by July 15, 2026.HypurrFi also reminded users to be aware of risks and fraudulent links during the migration process, to operate only through official channels, and to use the built-in migration tools to transfer Pooled positions to Euler Prime or Yield markets.
