Massive Unlock Schedule Puts HYPE Token Under Pressure
The native token of the Hyperliquid platform, HYPE, faces a crucial moment with the opening of a 24-month unlock schedule representing $11.9 billion. According to analysis from Arthur Hayes’ Maelstrom fund, this avalanche of tokens could significantly weaken price stability.
Indeed, pressure is also mounting for Hyperliquid with the emergence of new decentralized competitors like Aster, the Binance-linked DEX, which recently surpassed $2 billion in total value locked and $3 billion in volume. Hyperliquid will face a fierce battle to maintain its market share.
Bold Outlook Despite Challenges
Despite these uncertain prospects, Arthur Hayes still envisions a 126x upside potential for the HYPE token by 2028. Known for his ambitious forecasts, the former BitMEX CEO remains confident in Hyperliquid’s future, but investors will need to navigate carefully through this pivotal period.
Nevertheless, the community hasn’t abandoned the most popular DEX of recent months. As Filthy points out, Hyperliquid still generates more than $3 million in daily revenue and over $1 billion annually. As a reminder, 97% of transaction fees are used for buybacks.
However, according to Arthur Hayes, these buybacks won’t cover the overall lack of demand for the token. By his calculations, the buybacks only cover about 17% of the upcoming unlocks of millions of HYPE tokens. This wouldn’t be enough to offer a bright future for the token.
Currently priced at around $49, HYPE still has $100 in its sights for 2025. This would offer a potential return of more than 100%. Here’s how to bet on the continued uptrend of the best DEX and DeFi project of 2025 on Zoomex:

- Validation and execution: Verify the details (fees ~0.1%) and confirm. Your HYPE will appear in your Zoomex wallet.
