Hyperliquid HYPE Token Enters Deflationary Phase Amid ETF Filings
➤ Hyperliquid's HYPE token has entered a net deflationary phase due to significant token buybacks exceeding reward payouts, driven by high trading volumes and a revenue model that directs 97% of fees to buybacks. ➤ The platform is experiencing substantial institutional interest, with major asset managers filing for spot ETFs and Hyperliquid commanding over 50% of DEX perpetual open interest, attracting algorithmic traders. ➤ Key risks include an upcoming token unlock and regulatory hurdles for ETF approval, alongside inherent market risks associated with bot trading and potential macro softening.
