HYPE Hits New All-Time High Near $89 as Hyperliquid Momentum Accelerates
Hyperliquid's HYPE token reached a new all-time high near $88.90, up over 50% in a month, with a market cap nearing $20 billion. The rally is supported by Hyperliquid's fee mechanism, which burns HYPE tokens, reducing supply. HYPE's open interest exceeded $2 billion, with key resistance levels at $90 and $100. Hyperliquid expanded into tokenized equities and ETFs, and HYPE is now tradable on Polymarket. A potential U.S. market access via Bitnomial is under discussion.
