Hyperliquid continues to expand its ecosystem and market presence. The platform’s total value locked (TVL) has surpassed $7 billion, with open interest reaching record highs. The HYPE token has experienced significant volatility, recently trading around $93.04 with a market capitalization of approximately $23.31 billion. To support the HYPE token, the protocol has initiated a buyback and burn program funded by the AQAv2 mechanism. In September 2026, HYPE reached new all-time highs, peaking near $98 on September 23. This period saw significant fundamental growth: the protocol’s daily average revenue rose from $1.5 million in Q2 to over $5 million by mid-August, and its fully diluted valuation reached approximately $91.1 billion, surpassing traditional entities like Nasdaq. Open interest also hit a one-year high of $16.3 billion on September 19, eventually reaching a record $18 billion. Expansion efforts include the NEAR Protocol integrating Hyperliquid technology for confidential perpetual futures and Payward (Kraken’s parent company) proposing a permissioned structure to bring HIP-3 markets to U.S. traders. Following a Binance listing on September 24, HYPE experienced volatility, though Hyperliquid Strategies continued to acquire tokens. By late September, the protocol had burned approximately 48.96 million HYPE, representing 4.90% of the maximum supply. In October 2026, HYPE faced downward pressure. On October ~~23,~~ 13, the token saw an 11.70% weekly decline, testing a rising trendline after pulling back from highs near $97.50. By mid-month, a single whale staked over $100 million worth of HYPE (approximately 1.255 million tokens) as the price breached the $80 support level. Total staking activity reached approximately 439.9 million tokens, or roughly 44% of the total supply. On October 23, HYPE fell to $77.82, driven by net outflows ~~of approximately $7.88 million~~ from U.S.-based spot ETFs and a recent token burn. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid Strategies increased its share repurchase authorization to $100 million to manage its treasury. New developments in early October show the protocol leveraging the AQAv2 mechanism to fund HYPE buybacks. The protocol received approximately $14.58 million in USDC reserve yield, which is directed to the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund for market purchases and burns. Under this framework, Coinbase and Circle serve as treasury deployers.
