Hyperliquid (HYPE) has notched a fresh all-time high as activity across parts of the broader crypto market appears to be consolidating rather than accelerating. While many competitors have stayed relatively range-bound, HYPE has pushed higher and is now inching toward Dogecoin (DOGE), the tenth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. At the moment, DOGE still holds a sizable lead—about a $2 billion gap—though Hyperliquid’s latest move has put it back in the spotlight. HYPE Hits A New Peak At the time of writing, HYPE was trading around $61.94. During the day, it briefly surged to $62.80, setting a new record peak for the platform’s native token. The price action has been accompanied by strong performance across several time horizons. On a weekly basis, the token is up roughly 48%. Over the past thirty days, the gains expanded to about 54%. Year-to-date, HYPE has recorded triple-digit growth, with a 134% increase so far. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Hit Near $95,000 If It Holds Above This Critical Support, Top Analyst Says Part of the narrative around HYPE lately has been the alignment of bullish catalysts highlighted over the past few weeks by NewsBTC. The latest surge comes as investors appear to be responding to a growing set of market drivers aimed at Hyperliquid’s ecosystem—especially within the Hyperliquid ETF space. Institutional interest beyond this nascent sector is also being framed as a key element of the current momentum. LookOnChain flagged large purchases tied to Grayscale, reporting that the firm was loading up on HYPE. In one hour alone, Grayscale was said to be buying 115,733 HYPE, worth roughly $6.65 million. Looking across a longer window, the same tracking indicated Grayscale has accumulated 682,190 HYPE over the past week, totaling about $34.9 million. Is Hyperliquid Undervalued? Meanwhile, developments on the infrastructure side may also be adding to the bullish case. Coinbase has been named as Hyperliquid’s official USDC liquidity provider, strengthening the stablecoin plumbing around the platform. In addition, Coinbase is reportedly set to acquire USDH brand assets, a move that could further reshape how Hyperliquid’s token and stablecoin components fit together. Related Reading: Solana ETF Falls Behind As XRP Collects More Cash—Here’s The Catalyst Driving The Split Even with all of this, Bitwise’s CIO Matt Hougan suggested earlier this week that the market may not yet be fully pricing Hyperliquid’s broader value proposition. Hougan said Hyperliquid appears to be caught in what he described as a “pricing error”—with investors treating it as little more than a perpetual futures exchange. His view is that the market still hasn’t recognized the platform’s longer-term trajectory, despite the growing wave of activity and institutional demand.

Revolut just handed Dogecoin its most mainstream moment in years. The move gives Dogecoin something it has often struggled to hold for long periods, which is a real-world payment story that extends beyond social media hype. However, this is yet to translate into bullish price action for Dogecoin, which is still trading close to the $0.10 region. Revolut Brings Dogecoin Back Into The Payments Conversation Dogecoin has found its way back into the adoption conversation after Revolut launched a physical DOGE-themed crypto debit card across the UK and most of the European Economic Area. Related Reading: How To Time The Dogecoin Bottom And When The Price Will Reach $2 The card was described by the fintech company as its first physical crypto debit card, featuring a Dogecoin design and an LED display that lights up when users make contactless payments. The rollout is initially available in the UK and most EEA markets, although Hungary, Switzerland, and Portugal are excluded from the first phase. The card can be used anywhere Visa and Mastercard are accepted, which is where Dogecoin’s adoption for payments comes into play. Users link the card directly to their Dogecoin holdings within the app, and when a purchase is made, the platform automatically converts the required amount of DOGE into the local currency at real-time exchange rates, with no additional conversion fees applied at the point of sale. However, this creates a condition where merchants receive local currency instead of DOGE. Revolut serves over 70 million users globally and has been pushing into the crypto industry. Revolut is also deepening its regulatory standing, and the company recently received its full UK banking license in March 2026. Why DOGE Price Is Still Struggling The adoption of Dogecoin exists in parallel to suppressed price action. Revolut’s card is the most visible element of a change that the DOGE price chart has largely ignored. Related Reading: Dogecoin Has Now Entered Oversold Levels That Has Led To Previous Cycle Bottoms At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.106, down approximately 8.5% from $0.115 recorded just last week. A more immediate factor for the most recent decline came on May 18, when geopolitical tension caused by a US presidential warning to Iran led to a move that sent Bitcoin below $77,000 and pulled the broader crypto market lower, with Dogecoin among the casualties. The problem for Dogecoin is that adoption headlines do not always create immediate buying pressure. The longer-term picture is more revealing. Dogecoin hit $0.48 in December 2024 and $0.29 in September 2025, and has since fallen back to the $0.109 to $0.115 range in the past two months, a drawdown of about 75% from its cycle peak, with no convincing recovery in sight. Spot Dogecoin ETFs have also not done much to help, with the early excitement around the products failing to translate into buying pressure for the meme coin. The ETFs were expected to give institutional and traditional market investors easier exposure to Dogecoin, but inflows have been modest compared to other crypto ETF products. At the time of writing, Spot Dogecoin ETFs have only attracted $11.78 million in total net inflow since launch. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
