Hyperliquid Slips Below $60 as Institutions Unstake $291M: Will Selling Follow?
Two of crypto's biggest funds just unstaked about $291 million of Hyperliquid (HYPE) in days. The token fell below $60, and traders feared a wave of selling.
Unstaking frees locked tokens for sale. But Multicoin says it is not selling, and on-chain data backs that up.
Why HYPE Fell Below $60
Hyperliquid is one of crypto's busiest trading platforms. HYPE is now a top-10 token. It was trading for $58. That is down about 2% on the day. It sits about 24% below its June record of $76.70.
Multicoin unstaked close to 2 million HYPE, worth about $120 million. On-chain monitoring by MLM reveals that Paradigm unstaked even more. That was 2.92 million HYPE, worth around $171 million. Paradigm has not commented.
Together, that is about $291 million. It equals roughly 85% of HYPE's daily trading volume. That is huge for a thin market. Lookonchain first spotted the Multicoin transfers. Some coins went to Coinbase Prime, a custody service.
