The HYPE token, developed by Hyperliquid, has experienced a surge of over 273% in value since its launch on November 29. Currently, the token is priced at $12.03 after a 37% increase during the last 24 hours.

The HYPE token, launched by Hyperliquid on November 29, has seen a remarkable surge of over 273% since its debut. As of March 13, the token trades at $12.03 following a 37% increase over the last 24 hours. This surge has propelled the fully diluted valuation of the project to over $12 billion.

Currently, there are 333 million HYPE tokens in circulation out of a total supply of 1 billion, driving the market capitalization to approximately $4 billion. The token’s stellar performance can be attributed to both strong investor interest and a broader market shift toward decentralized platforms. Over the past 24 hours, the token has clocked a trading volume of over $298 million, highlighting its high liquidity and demand.

This momentum has also seen Hyperliquid emerge as the market leader in terms of trading volume and total value locked (TVL), establishing itself as a key platform within the ecosystem of decentralized perpetual exchanges, according to DeFiLlama.

The successful launch of the HYPE token also underscores a growing preference among developers to hold token generation events on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) rather than centralized platforms (CEXs). Anmol Singh, co-founder of Zeta Markets, highlighted this shift, stating that it aligns with a demand for greater transparency and user-centricity, qualities inherent to DEXs. Singh predicts that by 2025, most token launches will take place on these platforms.

HYPE Token Functions:

Within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, the HYPE token serves several crucial functions. The token can be used for staking in the HyperBFT consensus mechanism, an optimized proof-of-stake (PoS) system that underpins the security and decentralization of the network. Furthermore, HYPE is the native gas token in the execution environment, used to pay for transaction fees within the ecosystem.
