CZ-Hyperliquid Finally Welcomes HYPE After 664-Day Debut

Binance has listed Hyperliquid's HYPE token for spot trading after a 664-day delay, offering pairs like HYPE/USDT. HYPE, launched in late 2024, had a market cap of over $20B. Binance's founder, CZ, views this as validation, not rivalry. The listing includes a Seed Tag and 0 BNB fee, with deposits starting before trading and withdrawals the next day.
