Hyperliquid’s HYPE Token Sees $1B USDC Inflows Post-Launch

by

As a seasoned analyst with years of experience in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, I must say that the surge of Hyperliquid is nothing short of astonishing. The platform’s unique approach to decentralized perpetual trading, coupled with its commitment to community-first principles, has clearly resonated with investors.

Since its token launch on November 29, there’s been a surge of activity on Hyperliquid, the decentralized perpetual trading platform. The native token, HYPE, has attracted over $1 billion worth of USDC, as reported by Blockchain analytics firm Spot On Chain. This substantial inflow underscores the increasing interest in the prospects of this Layer 1 blockchain. In the past 24 hours, the token has shown a volatility of 16.2%, with a market cap of $9.47 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $356.79 million.

At present, Hyperliquid’s deposit bridge is housing a staggering $2.1 billion in USDC. Over the past 24 hours, there has been no volatility whatsoever, standing at a mere 0.0%. The platform’s market capitalization currently hovers around $42.53 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $10.30 billion. This surge is due to increased trading and investment activity within the ecosystem. Hyperliquid offers a unique trading experience by allowing users to deal in perpetual derivatives while pooling liquidity from diverse sources. It operates using native meme tokens such as PURR and Points.

With much excitement building up, the debut of HYPE was highly anticipated, given that Hyperliquid hadn’t earlier utilized a native token. This launch featured a community-oriented airdrop, captivating the attention of enthusiasts in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sphere.

Community-Driven Success Pays Off

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that one reason Hyperliquid has been on an upward trend is its dedication to a community-focused approach. The co-founder, Jeff Yan, emphasized this philosophy, saying “The inception of Hyperliquid honors the original spirit of Bitcoin: ownership is for those who believe and act, not for those who merely seek rent.

Over the past month, the value of HYPE tokens has skyrocketed by an astonishing 774.73%. Originally distributed at approximately $4 during the airdrop, HYPE tokens have soared, reaching an impressive high of $28.13 just 23 minutes ago as I write this. Interestingly, as Bitcoin reached $106,000, HYPE mirrored its trajectory, experiencing a 13.26% growth in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.

According to DefiLlama’s findings, the total value locked (TVL) of Hyperliquid has skyrocketed more than 10 times in just a single month, now sitting at a staggering $2.89 billion. This positions Hyperliquid as the second largest decentralized exchange (DEX), only falling behind Uniswap’s massive $6.82 billion TVL. Notably, it outranks Raydium on the Solana network and is showing signs of a promising growth trend.

Hyperliquid Trading Soars to New Highs
