$HYPER ’s explosive 165% rally to $0.305 was driven by a perfect storm of on-chain demand, protocol upgrades and big-name integrations: 24-hour volume surged past $347 million—over 1 100% higher than market cap—on heavy whale buys pulling tokens off exchanges, while the team’s v2.1 release (adding zk-rollup support and gas-efficient messaging) unlocked new cross-chain use cases and drove a 50% bump in TVL. At the same time, landing spots on Coinbase Pro and Binance US injected fresh USDC liquidity, and growing DeFi partnerships (including Arbitrum Orbit and Sui Network) have positioned HYPER as the go-to interoperability layer, sparking FOMO among momentum traders and fueling this breakout.
