Hyperliquid Outpaces Competitors With Record $1.5T Perps Volume

Decentralized exchange Hyperliquid HYPE $39.99 24h volatility: 3.2% Market cap: $13.36 B Vol. 24h: $254.91 M has surpassed $1.571 trillion in perpetual futures trading volume over the past 12 months.

According to Sealaunch data on Dune Analytics, the platform earned $56 million in fees and revenue this month, bringing its cumulative revenue to $310 million.

Notably, Hyperliquid recorded $248 billion in perpetual futures volume in May alone. For June, the exchange has already achieved $208 billion, significantly outpacing its competitors, with all other onchain perpetual platforms combined reaching $140 billion in the same period.

Airdrop Fuelled Growth and HyperEVM Expansion

Hyperliquid’s trading volume saw a notable increase at the end of 2024 during the $1.2 billion HYPE token airdrop campaign. This strategic distribution helped onboard new users and boost liquidity on the platform, positioning Hyperliquid as a leader among decentralized perpetual exchanges.

Earlier this year, Hyperliquid expanded its ecosystem by launching HyperEVM, an Ethereum-compatible network for seamless deployment of smart contracts and decentralized applications.

Hyperliquid’s native cryptocurrency, HYPE, has emerged as one of this year’s top performers, gaining 1140% since launch.

HYPE is trading around $39.69 at the time of writing. In June alone, HYPE gained over 27%, adding more than $2 billion in market capitalization.

HYPE Price to $48?

On the daily HYPE price chart, Bollinger Bands show a tightening structure, indicating a potential breakout. The price is above the mid-band (20-day SMA) at $38.49, with the upper band near $43.45 acting as immediate resistance.

Meanwhile, the RSI is suggesting mild bullish strength without being overbought. If it climbs further above with strong volume, a bullish continuation would be confirmed with a price target of $48 in the mid-term.

Meanwhile, the MACD seems to be on the verge of a bullish crossover if the trading volume maintains. If HYPE fails to hold above the $38 buy wall, it could test $35 and $33.50 support levels.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes previously predicted that HYPE could reach $100 if the buzz around popular crypto trader James Wynn’s trading continues.

This is the best advertising for $HYPE.

Let's take this mother fucker to $100.
