Paradigm Unstakes $224 Million of HYPE From Hyperliquid
Paradigm withdrew 2.55 million HYPE tokens, worth $224 million, from its staked Hyperliquid balance over two days. The amount was 17.85% of Paradigm’s staked position, but no exchange transfer or sale has been confirmed. HYPE was trading near $84.66 after a reported 3.6% 24-hour decline, as traders assessed the risk that the tokens could enter the market.
Why it matters
The unstaking makes a large token supply potentially available for sale, but the market impact depends on whether Paradigm transfers the tokens to an exchange or stakes them again. The immediate consequence is added uncertainty for HYPE holders and traders while the wallet activity remains unresolved.
