Hyperliquid has overtaken Solana on a fully diluted valuation basis, according to Arkham, adding a new market marker to one of crypto’s most closely watched comparisons: the rise of application-heavy, revenue-generating chains. Arkham summarized the move directly on X, writing: “Hyperliquid has flipped Solana by FDV.” The accompanying Solana market page shows SOL trading around $86.51, with a fully diluted valuation of roughly $54.22 billion, a circulating market capitalization near $49.99 billion and 24-hour volume of about $2.74 billion. The same screen listed Solana’s current supply at 577.86 million SOL and max supply at 626.75 million SOL. On Arkham’s Hyperliquid page, HYPE was shown trading at $56.71, giving the network a fully diluted valuation of about $54.57 billion. That puts it slightly above the Solana FDV shown in Arkham’s Solana screenshot, at roughly $54.22 billion. The comparison is notable because Hyperliquid’s circulating market capitalization was much smaller, at about $13.28 billion, reflecting a current supply of 238.39 million HYPE against a max supply of 962.27 million. Arkham also showed 24-hour HYPE volume of roughly $1.20 billion, with the token trading near its listed all-time high of $59.30. Hyperliquid has flipped Solana by FDV. pic.twitter.com/rDF5FRg4TK — Arkham (@arkham) May 21, 2026 Hyperliquid And Solana Lead All ‘Revenue Chains’ The FDV flip comes as Hyperliquid has also been showing up at the top of crypto revenue rankings. In post on X, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley lists Hyperliquid with $790.55 million in total revenue, ahead of Solana at $532.34 million. TRON followed at $471.20 million, while Ethereum was shown at $425.56 million. Related Reading: Bitwise Bullish on Hyperliquid: HYPE Labeled ‘Undervalued’ As It Rallies 20% Horsley framed the comparison less as a zero-sum fight between HYPE and SOL and more as evidence of a broader category emerging inside crypto. “There’s a new class in crypto: the revenue chains,” Horsley wrote. “The leaders are Hyperliquid & Solana. Both do some overlapping things, and some different things. Both have exceptional communities, usage, use cases, etc.” That framing matters because the Hyperliquid-Solana comparison is not purely about market capitalization. It is also about where users, liquidity and trading activity are concentrating. Hyperliquid’s revenue profile has become central to the HYPE thesis, while Solana remains one of the largest high-throughput ecosystems in crypto, with broad activity across trading, DeFi, consumer applications and token issuance. Related Reading: Hyperliquid ETFs Send HYPE Closer To All-Time Highs—Here’s What The Data Shows Horsley argued that both networks are positioned around the same structural tailwind: capital markets moving onchain. “I think that both will rise together, just as iOS and Android both rode the structural adoption of mobile,” he wrote. “In the case of the revenue chains, they are riding the wave of capital markets coming onchain.” Solana Camp Downplays Rivalry Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko also pushed back against the idea that Hyperliquid’s rise should be treated as a threat to Solana’s roadmap. Responding to a post about Hyperliquid, Yakovenko wrote: “I am not worried about someone else succeeding. Whether hype succeeds or not isn’t going to change what I or the rest of the Solana ecosystem will be working on.” Yakovenko once again presented Solana-based Phoenix Trade as a better version of Hyperliquid: “Try Phoenix Trade my HL brother.” Meanwhile, Horsley highlighted the success of both. “If you are rooting for HYPE or SOL or both, success will be less about the competition between the two — healthy ofc — but rather the rise of onchain capital markets,” he wrote. “Root for capital markets coming onchain.” At press time, HYPE traded at $58.354.
