The HL ecosystem is getting a lot of institutional activity this week!
iHYPE, a dedicated institutional facing LST product, has been announced from Kinetiq in collaboration with IMC and Flowdesk. It would not surprise me to see EYEN use iHYPE for their treasury.
With the CoreWriter contract elevated to mainnet level bug bounty payouts, I think we can expect deployment in the next 2-3 weeks depending on the results of the final stages of testing.
This would be the unlock needed for differentiated HyperEVM products.
In just one week, we really went from: - Tony G buying $400k HYPE - An ophthalmic tech company in the process of securing funding for a $50m HYPE buy - A trading platform securing $600m credit line for a crypto treasury fund with HYPE as the primary reserve asset
Despite the ongoing geopolitical events the past 24 hours causing uncertainty within the markets, HYPE has quietly just made a new all-time high daily candle close.
MoM buybacks: +63% growth (May - $67.6m; April - $41.5m)
The triple threat of increased platform usage (thank you James Wynn), market volatility due to new BTC ATH, and the new fee schedule made May an ATH in fee generation.
In a few days HL's margin tiers will go into effect, lowering the max leverage allowed for large positions on a per ticker basis. James Wynn will reduced to 20x leverage on his large BTC longs, for example.
HYPE and FARTCOIN got a leverage increase to 10x too!
Remember when people called the top on HYPE after Bloomberg and CNBC both mentioned Hyperliquid by name as a revenue generating business with underlying fundamentals?
It actually turned out to be a capitulation event from those that were sidelined and watching HYPE.
For HYPE to become a top 10 coin, it must outperform the coins in the top 10.
Here's a checklist for which HYPE ratios are at ATH and which are not yet: - HYPE/BTC ⏳ - HYPE/ETH ☑️ - HYPE/SOL ☑️ - HYPE/XRP ☑️ - HYPE/BNB ☑️ - HYPE/DOGE ☑️ - HYPE/ADA ☑️ - HYPE/TRX ⏳
if jeff has a million fans, then i am one of them. if jeff has ten fans, then i am one of them. if jeff has only one fan, then that is me. if jeff has no fans, then that means i am no longer on earth. if the world is against jeff, then i am against the world.
When HYPE staking tiers was announced, the wording suggested that more utility would be coming.
There's a lot you can speculate on, but there's one idea that has been in the docs for over a year: instead of burning spot token fees, you can give it to stakers.
