🔥Arthur Hayes bets 100,000 USD $HYPE will "win" over the billion-dollar market cap junk tokens in the near future

The bet starts at 00:00 UTC 10/02/2026 → ends at 00:00 UTC 31/07/2026 (more than 5.5 months).

🖤 Hayes bets that $HYPE will outperform any token with a market cap > $1B on CoinGecko (calculated in USD).

🖤 Kyle has the right to choose the 'opponent' (token to bet against) as long as it meets the > $1B market cap requirement.

The losing side donates 100,000 USD to a charity designated by the winning side.

Interesting point: this bet is not just a “performance comparison,” but Hayes publicly counters Kyle's series of doubts about Hyperliquid regarding legal structure, operational risks, governance, and the sustainability of the model.
