You Won’t Believe How This Crypto Token Just Took Over Wall Street-Sort Of

by

So, here’s the tea: listing just went live on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Fancy name, I know. Basically, now you can throw your money at the HYPE token without wrestling with scary crypto wallets or feeling like you’re starring in a tech horror film called “Onchain Custody.”

Hyperliquid showed up on the DeFi scene fashionably late in 2022, but girl, it’s making waves bigger than your last existential crisis. Its onchain order book is churning trillions in activity and snagging close to 80% of decentralized perpetuals. Translation: it’s basically the Beyoncé of DeFi trading. 💅

The platform’s gimmick? They take the trading fees and buy back HYPE tokens like it’s Black Friday at a sneaker drop-pushing the price over $50. Not that you care, but that’s some serious mojo right there.

This shiny new product isn’t just a win for Hyperliquid. It’s also 21Shares flexing its muscles as the crypto equivalent of a first-mover at a party. Mandy Chiu, the product queen at 21Shares, called Hyperliquid’s growth “one of the most striking cases in the space.” We’re picturing fireworks and a standing ovation.

The SIX Swiss Exchange? Oh, it’s been busy. In July, they reported $319 billion in trades on Hyperliquid. That’s not just a big number, that’s the kind of volume that makes even your math teacher sweat. Over 600,000 users are dragging this exchange into the top ten derivatives leagues-#goals. Small hiccup alert: a recent outage shook trader confidence faster than a bad Wi-Fi signal, but hey, $2 million was handed back like a responsible adult saying “my bad.” Points for that.

Not all is warm and fuzzy, though. Last week, there were whispers of market manipulation because apparently, four savvy traders casually pocketed nearly $48 million from some sketchy token spike. Questions about fairness? Oh yes. Drama? Absolutely.

Despite the shady subplot, Hyperliquid’s cheerleaders are hyped. At a Tokyo powwow, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes forecasted the HYPE token soaring 100x like it’s fueled by rocket fuel-and stablecoins doing their boring but important thing. Strap in, folks.

PSA: None of this is your financial fairy godmother. Do your homework, don’t blame us if you lose your lunch money, and consult a real-deal financial advisor before any wild crypto moves.
