Hyperliquid Listed on Upbit and Bithumb. Why Is HYPE Still Down 14% in a Week?

Hyperliquid (HYPE) was listed on South Korean exchanges Upbit and Bithumb on November 10, 2026, but its price dropped 3.2% in 24 hours and 13.1% over the past week, trading at $74. The decline is attributed to profit-taking by early investors, forced liquidations, and increased supply from Binance withdrawals and ETF outflows. Despite the listings, HYPE's price remains under pressure due to these factors and the pending approval of a U.S. futures plan by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Ticker impact

$HYPE-USDBullishHigh confidence
Context

Hyperliquid's HYPE token listed on Upbit and Bithumb but continues a 14% weekly decline amid whale sales and ETF outflows.

Expected impact

likely further downside as leveraged longs unwind and supply remains high

Evidence & confidence

Recent whale sell‑off, forced liquidation risk, and fresh supply from Binance withdrawals outweigh the modest demand from the new listings.

Market effects

Crypto market shows broader weakness; other major coins fell less, highlighting HYPE's relative over‑extension.

Korean retail traders may see limited upside from the Upbit/Bithumb listings, dampening local crypto enthusiasm.

The token's decline adds to overall crypto risk sentiment but is unlikely to move broader markets.

Counterpoint

If the CFTC approves ICE's Hyperliquid futures, the token could rally on renewed institutional interest.
