Hyperliquid has surged to new all-time highs amid an aggressive token buyback program and the recent launch of spot ETFs in the USA.
Hyperliquids native token, HYPE, has officially surpassed Dogecoin (DOGE) in global cryptocurrency rankings, claiming the 9th spot on CoinMarketCap after a sharp rally pushed its market capitalization to $16.03 billion. DOGE, long considered one of the strongest meme coins in the crypto market, slipped to 10th place with a valuation of $15.95 billion.
Hyperliquid's rise signals a shift towards decentralized finance, challenging centralized exchanges and reshaping the derivatives trading landscape. Hyperliquid hits record 7% share of aggregate perpetual open interest.
Hyperliquid has used over $1.16b in fees to buy HYPE, raising fresh questions over ETF demand, trading volume risk and token support today.

He then immediately opened a 990- bitcoin short position worth $74.84 million on Hyperliquid. The Flip: From Bull to Bear Evaded exited long positions in HYPE, ZEC, and ETH, locking in a combined $4.

Analysts target a $35–$40 retracement as HYPE consolidates below its ATH after a 614% surge.
Hyperliquid's surge and renewed interest in AI-focused crypto projects are signaling a broader return of risk appetite in altcoins, says Michael van de Poppe.
While major cryptocurrencies remain mired in a prolonged slump, the native token of the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid has surged to a record high. Data from CryptoSlate showed that HYPE crossed $60 for the first time, reaching as high as $62.
Hyperliquid's native token HYPE has been the major center of attention in the cryptocurrency market over the last week. Besides its impressive price action — outperforming other large-cap assets by a significant margin in the past week — the cryptocurrency seems to be becoming the new darling of institutional investors.
