Hyperliquid Surges Amid Crypto Downturn

However, one notable exception is Hyperliquid (HYPE), a decentralized perpetual futures trading platform that has shown remarkable strength. Since its launch on November 29, 2024, HYPE has reached an all-time high of $34.96, followed by a 31% price drop. Currently, it is trading at $23.868, representing a 19% increase from its weekly low.

Hyperliquid is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on its own layer-1 blockchain, offering quick transactions, low costs, and sophisticated trading tools, including eternal derivatives. Founded by Jeff Yan and Iliensinc, both Harvard classmates, the team consists of experts from Caltech, MIT, Citadel, and Hudson River Trading. Following the collapse of FTX, the team decided to stay self-funded, ensuring independence from venture capital and focusing on providing an effective, transparent trading platform.
