📌 What is happening with Hyperliquid (HYPE) today?


🔓 Hyperliquid is unlocking tokens worth around $330 million in HYPE, corresponding to more than 12.4 million tokens, which are being released from vesting and become available in the market. This represents approximately 5.3% of the circulating supply around this week and is related to allocations for the project's main contributors.

🧠 Why could this generate volatility?


🔸 1. Increase in available supply


When tokens are unlocked:


  • Increases theavailable supply in the market

  • Some holders (especially insiders or teams) maysell gradually

  • This can increase downward pressure if demand does not absorb the supply


Even when it's just an additional 5%, in large tokens this can significantly move prices in the short term.

🔸 2. Occurs within the context of market liquidity and sentiment


The unlock occurs at a time when:


  • The overall market has started entering a phase of relief after periods of fear

  • Investors are closely watching every signal ofselling pressure and accumulation

    A large unlock can trigger:

  • Sharp price swings

  • Higher intraday volatility

  • Possible technical pullbacks if buying volume is insufficient

🔸 3. Contradictory whale signals and accumulation


At the same time these tokens are unlocked, the market has seen whale movements that:


  • Unstaked and sold part of their HYPE (~$6.9M)

  • But there has also been HYPE accumulation in USDC by certain large wallets, indicating a mixed dynamic between sales and strategic purchases.



📈 What does this mean for the HYPE price?


This type of event usually generates two possible short-term effects:


🔹 Temporary bearish effect



  • If many unlocked tokens are sold quickly

  • If demand does not absorb the new supply

    → Can be observeda drop or downward pressure on the price.


🔹 Consolidation / rebound effect


  • If the protocol or participants carry outbuybacks or staking

  • If there is sustained interest from accumulators

    → The market may absorb the increase in supply without a sharp decline.


In fact, before the unlock, the HYPE price already showed moderate volatility, suggesting the market is assessing impacts as they occur.

🧠 Does this affect only HYPE or more broadly?


Although the event is momentary for HYPE, large token unlocks within an ecosystem tend to influence sentiment even beyond that specific asset for several reasons:


✔️ Indicate potential selling pressure from the team or early investors

✔️ Increase perception of risk in inflationary assets

✔️ Arbitrage and derivatives traders react quickly

✔️ May influence liquidity and direction of correlated pairs (e.g., HYPE/USDC)


#HyperliquidTokenPrice

📌 In summary


🔹 Today Hyperliquid unlocks 12.4M HYPE tokens ($330M) that become available on the market.

🔹 This increases the circulating supply and may create short-term price volatility.

🔹 Market response will depend on how sales and accumulation are executed after the unlock.

🔹 The event may influence both HYPE and trader sentiment and market sentiment in general.
