Hyperliquid’s HYPE Token Attracts Over $1 Billion in USDC Inflows

Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual trading platform, has experienced substantial activity following the launch of its native token, #HYPE. Since its launch on November 29, over $1 billion in USDC has been deposited, according to Blockchain analytics firm Spot On Chain. This milestone indicates increasing interest in Layer 1 blockchain potential.

The platform’s deposit bridge currently holds $2.1 billion in USDC, reflecting a surge in trading and investment activity. Hyperliquid's model allows users to trade perpetual derivatives while aggregating liquidity from various sources, utilizing native meme tokens like PURR and Points.

The HYPE token launch generated significant anticipation as Hyperliquid previously operated without a native token. The launch included a community-focused airdrop, attracting DeFi enthusiasts.

Community-Driven Success

Hyperliquid's growth can be attributed to its community-first approach. Co-founder Jeff Yan stated that "The Hyperliquid genesis pays homage to the original ethos of Bitcoin: ownership goes to the believers and doers, not rent-seeking insiders."

The HYPE token price rose by 774.73% in one month, increasing from approximately $4 during the airdrop to around $28, peaking at $28.13 recently. The token gained 13.26% in the last 24 hours, correlating with Bitcoin's rise to $106,000, according to CoinMarketCap.

According to DefiLlama, Hyperliquid's total value locked (TVL) increased by over 1000% within a month, reaching $2.89 billion. This positions Hyperliquid second among decentralized exchanges (DEXs), behind Uniswap’s $6.82 billion, and ahead of Solana-based Raydium.

Trading Activity

Hyperliquid recorded over $10 billion in 24-hour trading volume, with open interest hitting an all-time high of $4.3 billion, indicating strong user engagement.

Additionally, Hyperliquid launched the final proposal for the upcoming $HYPE Season 2 Rewards, offering early adopter status to the first 10,000 voters who participate, granting them exclusive on-chain rewards.
