Arthur Hayes, the former co-founder of the BitMEX platform and one of the leading minds in the crypto market, took the opportunity during his participation at the WebX 2025 conference in Tokyo, Japan, to reveal an exciting vision about the future of the HYPE token associated with Hyperliquid.
In his speech titled "Hyperliquid ×126", Hayes explained that the expansion of stablecoin trading could fuel an unprecedented rise in the value of the token, noting that the accelerated growth in this market is capable of pushing HYPE to astronomical levels.
Through his investment office Maelstrom, Hayes presented a model based on accurate data, predicting that the total expected annual fees could reach about $258 billion, relying on a net trading fee of 0.03% and a discount rate of 5%. According to this equation, the final revenue for the HYPE token could reach approximately $5.161 trillion, compared to its current value of no more than $41.05 billion, reflecting a potential rise of up to 126 times.
The forecasts came at a time when the Hyperliquid project is witnessing record performance; the number of open positions reached 196,462 on Sunday, and open interest exceeded $15 billion, while the total value of portfolios reached $31 billion. The platform also achieved a daily trading volume of nearly $19.46 billion over the weekend, according to DefiLlama data.
Hayes linked macro and microeconomic factors, emphasizing that reaching stablecoin trading volumes of $10 trillion by 2028 with a market share of nearly 26.4% in favor of Hyperliquid could open the door to enormous profits that would directly translate into an increase in the value of HYPE.
In terms of the market, the price of Hyperliquid rose by nearly 4% in the past 24 hours, trading around $45.25, ranking 12th among the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, according to CoinMarketCap data.
