📝 What you need to know

Hyperliquid’s HYPE token soared to a new all-time high Tuesday morning, buoyed by after-hours price discovery for the platform’s SpaceX SPCX perp and inflows to Hyperliquid ETFs.

SPCX saw around $1.4 billion in a single session, accounting for almost a third of the day’s HIP-3 volume. Meanwhile, since launch HYPE ETFs have seen inflows of almost $172 million, while Bitcoin ETFs have shed nearly $5.6 billion over the same period. That points to the market “beginning to price in protocol fundamentals,” analysts argued, with growing institutional appetite Hyperliquid’s fee-generating architecture winning out over narrative-driven altcoins.
