Hyperliquid’s HYPE token has surged 55% in a single week and delivered more than 130% in year-to-date returns — but prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@alicharts) is warning that the asset is now approaching a critical resistance zone with multiple technical indicators flashing sell signals simultaneously, a setup he says could trigger a retracement toward $40 if momentum fades at current levels. Related Reading: XRP Sees 4th-Largest Wallet Growth Spike Of 2026, Santiment Says In a post on X, Martinez laid out the technical case with precision. Three converging signals are appearing on HYPE at the same time: the TD Sequential Combo 13 sell signal is already active, a standard green 9 sell signal could confirm as early as the next session, and both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Chande Momentum Oscillator are sitting at historically elevated — or overheated — levels, per the analyst’s analysis. HYPE's price trends to the upside following a surge in institutional adoption, as seen on the daily chart. Source: HYPEUSD on Tradingview Why The Setup Concerns Martinez The significance of the current configuration lies in precedent. According to Martinez’s post, the last two occasions when TD Sequential sell signals appeared on HYPE while the RSI and Chande Momentum Oscillator were simultaneously at overheated levels, both instances led to significant corrections. The analyst is not pointing to isolated indicators — he is pointing to a specific combination of signals that has already proven consequential twice in HYPE’s relatively short price history. HYPE's price entering a dangerous area if the asset can't sustain its current bullish momentum, as seen on the TD Sequential Indicator. Source: Ali Martinez on X The analyst does leave room for one final push before any reversal materializes. HYPE could still push toward $59 or even slightly above $60 before momentum fades, he notes — but frames that move as a potential exhaustion run rather than the beginning of a new leg higher. If rejection comes from the $59–$60 area, a retracement toward approximately $40 becomes increasingly likely, per his assessment. That would represent a pullback of roughly 33% from the upper resistance zone — meaningful, but consistent with the corrections that followed the previous two sell signal setups he references. ZCash Flashing A Similar Warning Martinez also flagged ZCash in the same post, noting a comparable technical structure after a 40%-plus weekly surge. ZCash is approaching the same resistance zone that triggered a major rejection in November — around the $700–$730 area — with the TD Sequential now flashing a sell signal on the weekly chart. Because the signal appears on the weekly timeframe, Martinez warns the potential correction could be substantially larger, with first downside support near $500 and a deeper retracement potentially reaching $380. The parallel between the two assets is notable given that BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes has publicly disclosed large positions in both HYPE and ZCash — with a $150 HYPE target and a $10,000 long-term ZCash target — making the current resistance zone a critical test of two of his highest-conviction calls simultaneously. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Lows? Analysts Say Chances Are ‘Extremely Slim’ As of this writing, HYPE trades at around $56, consolidating just below the critical $59–$60 resistance zone that Martinez has identified as the make-or-break level for the near-term price trajectory.

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

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.

Dogecoin started a recovery wave above the $0.1040 zone against the US Dollar. DOGE is now facing hurdles near $0.1075 and might struggle to continue higher. DOGE price started a recovery wave from $0.1020 and climbed above $0.1040. The price is trading below the $0.1075 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $0.1040 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The price could continue to move up if it stays above $0.1020. Dogecoin Price Hits Resistance Dogecoin price started a recovery wave from the $0.1020 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. DOGE climbed above the $0.1035 and $0.1040 resistance levels. There was a decent upward move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.1127 swing high to the $0.1021 low. Besides, there was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $0.1040 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair. Dogecoin price is now trading below the $0.1075 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. If there is another recovery wave, immediate resistance on the upside is near the $0.1062 level. The first major resistance for the bulls could be near the $0.1075 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.1127 swing high to the $0.1021 low. The next major resistance is near the $0.1088 level. A close above the $0.1088 resistance might send the price toward the $0.1120 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.1150 level. The next major stop for the bulls might be $0.1165. Another Decline In DOGE? If DOGE’s price fails to climb above the $0.1075 level, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.1040 level. The next major support is near the $0.1020 level. The main support sits at $0.10. If there is a downside break below the $0.10 support, the price could decline further. In the stated case, the price might slide toward the $0.09650 level or even $0.0950 in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for DOGE/USD is now gaining momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for DOGE/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $0.1040 and $0.1020. Major Resistance Levels – $0.1075 and $0.1120.
Bankless has been looking past the usual “partnership announcement” narrative and instead focused on what the new Hyperliquid (HYPE), Coinbase (COIN), and Circle (CRCL) deal could realistically change for USDC. In its latest write-up, the outlet argues the collaboration is more than public relations, especially at a time when stablecoin momentum has started to pick up but the deeper numbers have not shifted as quickly as some investors might expect. Bankless frames USDC’s moment as meaningful, but also incomplete—while positioning Hyperliquid as the missing platform that could help Circle’s stablecoin translate momentum into real market share. The USDC Deal As reported by Bitcoinist last week, Coinbase said it is expanding its role by becoming the official treasury deployer of USDC on Hyperliquid. In the plan, Coinbase treats USDC as an Aligned Quote Asset (AQA), while Hyperliquid’s USDH token is expected to be phased out gradually. Related Reading: Hyperliquid ETFs Send HYPE Closer To All-Time Highs—Here’s What The Data Shows Bankless says that with this latest move, improvements are concrete: a significantly better revenue split—roughly double what Hyperliquid was earning with USDH—plus additional regulatory and institutional “firepower” that comes from aligning with what it describes as crypto’s largest voice in Washington, D.C. The report also emphasizes user experience benefits, especially because USDC is a trusted stablecoin already built into the exchange experience for many traders. Bankless adds that USDC is predominantly used in Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 markets, the segment that has driven much of Hyperliquid’s visibility over roughly the past six months. From there, the argument becomes more strategic. Bankless contends that the Coinbase and Circle deal is more than “PR” because USDC already has momentum following the GENIUS Act approval, but its supply share has not meaningfully changed. It presents Hyperliquid as the fix for that mismatch—an added distribution channel that could allow stablecoin growth to compound rather than merely coexist with the existing dominant currency dynamic. Binance Reinforces USDT Dominance To support the “supply share isn’t moving” claim, Bankless points to stablecoin market composition. In April 2025, it says Tether’s USDT stablecoin held 67% of stablecoin supply while USDC held 27.6%. A year later, USDT sits at 67.3% and USDC at 28.1%. It notes that USDC transaction volume is accelerating, but the structural picture remains basically unchanged, which it describes as the central problem. The report argues that this is happening for a reason. USDC is strongest in the United States, but competition is concentrating precisely there. Outside the US, the report says, USDT still functions as the default dollar for saving, investing, and trading—meaning USDC faces a tougher environment when it comes to establishing base currency status across global trading venues. That is why distribution is presented as the priority, and perpetuals are framed as the natural battleground. Stablecoins are the quote asset that perpetuals are built around, and the ecosystem that dominates the largest exchange tends to reinforce itself. On Binance, Bankless notes, USDT is the standard against which many of the biggest markets trade. In practice, that means traders are frequently transacting against USDT, which strengthens USDT’s supply, liquidity, deposits, withdrawals, and on-chain activity. Hyperliquid May Fix That Hyperliquid, in Bankless’s telling, offers USDC a way to fight that cycle. The report includes a set of market indicators meant to show that Hyperliquid’s share in the perp ecosystem isn’t theoretical. It claims Hyperliquid holds 30% of onchain perp market share, commands 46% of onchain open interest, and operates at about 50% of Bybit’s volume, around 30% of OKX’s volume, roughly 79% of Coinbase International’s, and about 13% of Binance. Related Reading: Solana ETF Falls Behind As XRP Collects More Cash—Here’s The Catalyst Driving The Split While Hyperliquid is still smaller than Binance overall, Bankless suggests the direction is clear—toward perpetuals becoming an environment where USDC can gain more consistent exposure. The conclusion is that Coinbase and Circle can let Hyperliquid carry the reach while USDC benefits from being the stablecoin underneath the trading activity.

HYPE is showing remarkable strength as it approaches all-time highs — a performance that stands in sharp contrast to the broader market, facing selling pressure and uncertainty. While most assets have been retreating, Hyperliquid’s native token has been moving in the opposite direction, drawing attention from the most closely watched category of participants in the digital asset space. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s 2026 Market Structure Reveals A Problem Hidden Beneath ETF Growth Data from Arkham Intelligence has revealed that a whale wallet linked to Andreessen Horowitz — the legendary Silicon Valley venture capital firm known as a16z, which manages one of the largest and most influential dedicated crypto funds in the world and has backed foundational projects including Coinbase, Uniswap, and Solana — has created a new wallet and used it to purchase 206,325 HYPE tokens worth approximately $9.95 million over the past ten hours. The purchased tokens were then immediately staked — a deliberate act that removes them from liquid circulation and signals a long-term holding intention rather than a trading position. HYPE whale transactions | Source: Arkham The creation of a new wallet before the purchase adds a layer of deliberateness to the transaction. This was not a routine addition to an existing position. It was a structured, intentional allocation — a fresh wallet created specifically to hold and stake a new tranche of HYPE while the broader market was selling. That behavioral detail, combined with the staking decision, tells a specific story about conviction — and about what a16z appears to believe is coming for Hyperliquid next. $102 Million in Six Weeks The latest purchase does not exist in isolation. Since April 14, the a16z-linked wallet activity has accumulated a total of 2.34 million HYPE tokens at a combined cost of approximately $102 million — a figure that has now crossed nine figures and continues to grow with each new transaction. The relevance of that total extends beyond the dollar amount. A16z is not a retail participant making opportunistic purchases during market weakness. It is one of the most analytically sophisticated and information-rich investors in the crypto ecosystem — a firm whose due diligence process for investments of this scale involves months of research, protocol analysis, team evaluation, and market structure assessment. When that category of participant commits $102 million to a single asset across six weeks of consistent accumulation, it is expressing a thesis that has survived rigorous internal scrutiny rather than a trade that felt attractive in the moment. Related Reading: XRP Enters “Volatility Vacuum” As Traders Exit Derivatives Market The staking behavior compounds the signal further. Tokens staked immediately after purchase are tokens that will not appear on the sell side of any exchange order book in the near term. Each staked tranche reduces the liquid float available to the market — a supply compression mechanism that operates quietly and persistently regardless of short-term price movements. HYPE approaching all-time highs while the broader market faces selling pressure is the price expression of that dynamic. A16z has been building the position for six weeks. The market is only now beginning to price in what that commitment implies about where Hyperliquid goes from here. HYPE Approaches Major Breakout Zone HYPE is trading near $49.50 after extending one of the strongest uptrends in the crypto market, with price now approaching the critical resistance region near previous all-time highs. While most major digital assets continue struggling below long-term resistance, HYPE has maintained a remarkably constructive structure defined by sustained higher highs, higher lows, and consistent buyer support during pullbacks. HYPE consolidates around key resistance level | Source: HYPEUSDT chart on TradingView The daily chart shows a decisive trend reversal beginning in February, when HYPE bottomed near the $21 region before reclaiming all major moving averages in rapid succession. Since then, the 50-day and 100-day moving averages have both turned sharply upward, while price continues trading comfortably above the 200-day moving average — a signal of strong medium and long-term momentum. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Flood Binance With 225,000 ETH In Largest Inflow Since 2022 Importantly, the latest rally toward the $50 resistance area has been accompanied by a visible expansion in volume, suggesting the move is being supported by active accumulation rather than thin liquidity conditions. The recent breakout above the $45 region also confirms that buyers successfully absorbed supply from previous consolidation phases. Technically, HYPE now sits at a critical inflection point. A confirmed breakout above the current resistance zone could open the door for price discovery and a move toward the $56-$60 region. Meanwhile, the $41-$45 area becomes the key support zone bulls need to defend to maintain the current bullish structure. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
Dogecoin spot ETFs are showing a clear pickup in May inflows, with SoSoValue data pointing to $2.15 million in net additions so far this month and no recorded outflow day in the period shown. The numbers remain small in absolute ETF-market terms, but they mark the strongest monthly inflow total for DOGE products since January and suggest that demand has reappeared after several quieter months. The May data gives DOGE ETF bulls a cleaner talking point than in prior months: inflows have returned, the monthly total has already reached $2.15 million, and the product group remains net positive every month since its November 2025 launch. Still, the scale is important. The inflows are meaningful for DOGE’s young ETF market, but they remain modest in absolute terms and are concentrated across only a handful of trading days rather than showing steady daily accumulation, according to SoSoValue data. Dogecoin ETF Momentum Builds Again From May 1 through May 19, DOGE spot ETFs recorded five positive inflow days: $400,194 on May 5, $227,207.79 on May 6, $393,135 on May 11, $272,886 on May 14 and $860,958 on May 18. That brings May’s month-to-date total to exactly $2,154,380.79. There were no negative-flow days in the period, but there were eight sessions with zero net inflow, including May 19. That distinction matters. The trend is positive, but it is not a continuous daily accumulation pattern. May’s inflow total is heavily supported by a handful of sessions, especially May 18, which alone accounted for roughly 40% of the month’s net inflows. The data therefore points less to a broad, uninterrupted bid and more to episodic demand returning to a still-small DOGE ETF complex. Related Reading: Smart Crypto Whale Loads Up On Dogecoin With $2 Million Long Position The cumulative picture is also notable. DOGE spot ETFs ended May 19 with $11.78 million in cumulative net inflows, up from $9.63 million at the start of May. Total net assets rose from $13.19 million on May 1 to $14.51 million on May 19, despite DOGE price falling. Month-to-date trading value reached about $10.06 million. The monthly sequence strengthens the “since launch” claim. The data series begins in November 2025, when DOGE spot ETFs drew $2.16 million in net inflows. December remained positive at $177,891.84 despite a $972,840.16 outflow on Dec. 4. January was the standout month with $4.07 million in net inflows, followed by $252,534 in February, $972,455.30 in March, $1.99 million in April and $2.15 million so far in May. The current fund-level split shows a concentrated market. As of May 19, Grayscale’s GDOG had the largest cumulative net inflow at $10.97 million and net assets of $9.88 million. TDOG, the 21Shares product, showed $2.19 million in cumulative net inflows and $3.96 million in net assets. Bitwise’s BWOW was the outlier, with a cumulative net outflow of $1.38 million and only $678,470 in net assets. Related Reading: How To Time The Dogecoin Bottom And When The Price Will Reach $2 Trading activity also remains thin. On May 19, GDOG traded $187,930, while TDOG and BWOW traded just $5,480 and $4,290, respectively. All three funds recorded zero daily net inflow that day. Premiums and discounts were small, with GDOG at a 0.01% premium and TDOG and BWOW at discounts of 0.19% and 0.20%, suggesting no major pricing dislocation around NAV. Compared with larger altcoin ETF categories, the main takeaway is scale. DOGE’s flow direction has improved, but the asset base remains modest enough that a single sub-$1 million inflow day can reshape the monthly narrative. For DOGE bulls, May offers evidence of renewed ETF demand. For market structure observers, it is still an early, shallow product set where liquidity, sponsor concentration and day-to-day flow lumpiness matter as much as the headline inflow streak. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.10. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Market analyst Aletheia released a report on Wednesday, taking a close look at the first six days of trading for Hyperliquid ETFs launched by 21Shares and Bitwise. The analysis focuses on how early inflows are stacking up across major crypto assets and what those moves may signal for demand going forward. First Six Days Under The Microscope In market-cap-adjusted terms, Aletheia found that the Hyperliquid ETFs generated more flows than Bitcoin (BTC) on three of the first six trading days. The same comparison also showed strength versus Ethereum (ETH): Hyperliquid’s ETF products logged higher inflows than Ethereum on five out of six days. Related Reading: Bitwise Bullish on Hyperliquid: HYPE Labeled ‘Undervalued’ As It Rallies 20% The Solana (SOL) spot exchange-traded fund sector produced a different picture. According to the report, Solana posted higher market-cap-adjusted flows than Hyperliquid on four of the first six trading days. On Tuesday, however, Hyperliquid spot ETFs recorded materially stronger inflows than any of their peers. The analyst emphasized that it’s still too early to say whether this spike is the start of a sustained trend, or whether it reflects a short-term burst of demand that may normalize over the coming days. Hyperliquid Near Bull-Run Highs Beyond the raw inflow numbers, the report reveals another layer: the Hyperliquid spot ETFs are competing with the Assistance Fund — the platform’s economic structure for token buybacks — in terms of market buying pressure. In the first six trading days, the ETFs bought 2.5 times as much HYPE as the Assistance Fund bought and burned. The “burning” element is important context, since it differs from a straightforward accumulation mechanism. Still, when the discussion is framed around buying pressure and market impact, Aletheia argues that the ETFs are clearly adding to the fuel. Related Reading: Solana ETF Falls Behind As XRP Collects More Cash—Here’s The Catalyst Driving The Split The combination of ETF-driven activity and increasing token demand has moved Hyperliquid close to current price peaks of $59 reached during last year’s bull run. Data from CoinGecko shows the altcoin trading at $51.88 when writing is up 33% over the past week alone. At this level, the token is only 12% below its current record, leaving room—at least in relative terms—for a potential “discovery” phase if the ETF-related inflows continue to build.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan issued a strongly bullish view on Hyperliquid and its native token, HYPE, shortly after Bitwise launched a HYPE exchange-traded fund (ETF) last week. In his comments, Hougan argued that the market is mispricing Hyperliquid’s broader business model—treating it as essentially just another perpetual futures venue. Hyperliquid As A Global Super App Hougan said Hyperliquid appears to be caught in what he described as a “pricing error,” with investors valuing the platform as little more than a perpetual futures exchange. In contrast, he framed Hyperliquid as a global financial “super app,” one that is moving beyond the boundaries of crypto and expanding into areas such as stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, and prediction markets. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Meltdown: What’s Behind The Drop To $76,000, And What’s Next As part of his valuation perspective, Hougan estimated the platform’s annual revenue could be in the range of about $800 million to $1 billion, suggesting room for the business to scale well beyond how it’s currently categorized by the market. A key element of Hougan’s case involves Hyperliquid’s fee model. He pointed to a structure in which 99% of trading fees are directed toward HYPE token buybacks, describing it as a mechanism that helps support value rather than simply extracting revenue without a token-linked benefit. That, he said, aligns incentives in a way that differs from what investors may be assuming when they treat Hyperliquid as a standard trading platform. HYPE Approaches All-Time Highs Hougan also emphasized that HYPE’s recent performance does not change his view that the token remains undervalued. He noted that HYPE is up by 77% this year, yet he believes the market still hasn’t fully credited Hyperliquid’s long-term trajectory. In his view, Hyperliquid’s real opportunity is not just to grow as a rapidly expanding crypto perpetual exchange, but to evolve into a broader trading super app spanning stocks, pre-IPO assets, commodities, prediction markets, and crypto assets.

Along with Bitwise’s launch of a Hyperliquid ETF tied to HYPE, 21Shares introduced its own HYPE ETF earlier in the month. Following those launches, HYPE surged—recording massive gains of nearly 20% in the past week alone. At the time of writing, HYPE was trading just above the key $48 mark, only 18% below all-time high levels of $59 reached last year. Featured image created with OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com
A crypto trader tracked by Lookonchain has opened a fresh leveraged long position in Dogecoin, adding DOGE exposure alongside larger Bitcoin and Ethereum bets. The move matters because the wallet, identified as 0x152e, is described by the on-chain analytics account as a “smart whale” with $24.79 million in total profit. According to Lookonchain, the trader moved aggressively across major crypto assets over a three-hour window, opening longs on Ethereum, Bitcoin and Dogecoin. The DOGE position totaled 19.47 million tokens, worth about $2.04 million, while the Ethereum and Bitcoin trades were substantially larger in dollar terms. Dogecoin Draws $2 Million Long From ‘Smart Whale’ “Smart whale 0x152e, with $24.79M in total profit, is going long on ETH, BTC, and DOGE,” Lookonchain wrote on X. “Over the past 3 hours, he opened longs on 4,601 ETH ($9.82M), 118.2 BTC ($9.11M), and 19.47M DOGE ($2.04M). He also placed limit orders to keep adding to his BTC and ETH longs.” Related Reading: How To Time The Dogecoin Bottom And When The Price Will Reach $2 The positioning suggests the trader is not making a single memecoin bet in isolation. DOGE appears to be part of a broader directional long setup across higher-liquidity crypto assets, led by Ethereum and Bitcoin. The Ethereum position, worth $9.82 million, was the largest of the three disclosed longs, followed closely by the $9.11 million Bitcoin position. Dogecoin accounted for the smallest new futures exposure, but still represented a notable $2 million-plus leveraged bet on the memecoin. The additional limit orders are also important. Lookonchain said the whale had placed orders to continue adding to Bitcoin and Ethereum longs, indicating that the trader may be scaling into the position rather than treating the initial entries as a complete allocation. The post did not say whether similar add-on orders were placed for Dogecoin. Related Reading: Dogecoin Fisher Transform Turns Bullish: The Last Setups Were Explosive Beyond the new perpetual positions, the same wallet also holds sizable spot positions in Zcash and Hyperliquid’s HYPE token. Lookonchain said the trader holds 10,797 ZEC, worth about $6.14 million, with an unrealized gain of $3.5 million. The wallet also holds 114,547 HYPE, valued at $5.48 million, with an unrealized gain of $2.2 million. Those spot holdings add context to the “smart whale” label. The wallet is not only showing realized or total profit, according to Lookonchain’s framing, but is also sitting on multi-million-dollar unrealized gains across separate spot positions. The new DOGE long therefore comes from an address that has already built profitable exposure elsewhere in the market. Still, whale tracking has limits. On-chain position data can show what a wallet is doing, but not the trader’s full risk book, hedges, off-chain exposure or intended holding period. A large Dogecoin long from a profitable wallet may attract attention, but it does not by itself confirm a market-wide shift in DOGE demand. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.10429.

Hyperliquid’s lead in onchain perpetuals drew a fresh challenge from the Solana ecosystem after Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, known as Toly, argued that Solana needs its own atomically composable perp DEX inside the SVM. The debate comes as Hyperliquid is already trying to define its regulatory path in Washington during the advancement of the CLARITY Act. The exchange began with Hyperliquid co-founder Jeffrey Yan saying he had spent several days in Washington with the Hyperliquid Policy Center, meeting policymakers as the CLARITY Act advanced. According to him, the discussions focused on Hyperliquid, its potential benefits for American consumers, and the regulatory path for bringing onchain derivatives markets into the US framework. That policy push quickly collided with a separate market-structure debate on X, where Toly publicly encouraged users who enjoy Hyperliquid to try a new Solana-based perp DEX. The comment drew pushback from users, who questioned whether the industry needs another perpetuals venue rather than further innovation. Related Reading: HYPE Falls 6% As CME, ICE Target Hyperliquid Over Oil Risks Rune framed the issue directly: “I admire the Solana guys for pushing their apps publicly, genuine respect for the hustle, but maybe the energy should go towards innovation instead of replication.” He added that the central question was what a Solana-native perp DEX could do better than Hyperliquid, beyond competing on fees or copying the same product category. Hyperliquid Vs. Solana Toly’s answer was composability. He argued that the comparison is not fundamentally different from asking why Hyperliquid was needed when Binance, Coinbase or CME already existed. “It’s like asking what can Hyperliquid do that Binance or Coinbase or CME can’t?” Toly wrote. “Solana’s SVM needs an atomically composable perp DEX in its runtime so innovation can flourish. Apps built inside the SVM can’t use HL because you have to bridge there.” The disagreement cuts to the core of how different ecosystems view derivatives infrastructure. Hyperliquid has built its case around a vertically integrated, onchain exchange experience that appeals to traders seeking self-custody, speed, and a non-CEX interface. Rune acknowledged that Hyperliquid had answered its own “why exist” question through “self-custody, no KYC, community-owned,” but pressed whether composability alone is enough for a Solana-native rival to win. Toly did not argue that success is guaranteed. Instead, he framed the market as large enough to justify aggressive experimentation from Solana teams, especially if the base layer can support products that compete with centralized venues. Related Reading: Hyperliquid (HYPE) To $100? Expert Forecasts Major Rise Before Summer 2027 “The 10B OI is the opportunity,” he wrote, referring to open interest. “It’s a small fraction of what Binance, CME, Coinbase, NYSE have. Why wouldn’t I want Solana to compete for the chunk of the global market?” He added that Binance and other incumbents are unlikely to leave that market uncontested, and that Hyperliquid’s own growth has already validated demand for a DEX-style trading interface. “HL proved that people will trade with a DEX interface instead of a Binance/CME style one,” Toly said, while pointing to Solana ecosystem teams and hackathon winners as examples of broader experimentation. The debate also drew attention from market participants outside the Solana-Hyperliquid rivalry. Moonrock Capital founder Simon Dedic said he was “neither a Hyperliquid nor a Solana maxi” and did not care much about trading, but argued that Toly’s interest itself was notable. “When Toly, one of the most brilliant, successful and relentless founders in the industry, gets excited about a new product like this, you better pay attention I guess,” he wrote. At press time, HYPE traded at $45.968. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
HYPE has been one of the most compelling stories in crypto since its launch in November 2024. While the broader market has faced sustained selling pressure and most assets have struggled to hold meaningful levels, Hyperliquid’s native token has demonstrated a resilience that has drawn attention from participants well beyond the DeFi ecosystem that originally embraced it. Related Reading: XRP Leverage Expansion Raises Risks Near $1.50 Resistance – A Big Move May Follow The project’s combination of genuine product traction, growing trading volume, and a token model that rewards network participation has made HYPE one of the few assets in this cycle that institutional observers have treated as a serious long-term allocation rather than a speculative trade. That institutional attention has now produced a data point that is difficult to ignore. Arkham Intelligence reveals that a wallet identified as linked to Andreessen Horowitz — the Silicon Valley venture capital firm known universally as a16z, whose crypto fund has been among the most influential institutional investors in the digital asset space since its launch in 2018 — has purchased another 372,000 HYPE tokens worth approximately $16.91 million over the past several hours. A16z does not make small, casual purchases. The firm manages billions in assets across traditional technology and crypto investments, and its on-chain activity is tracked by the market as a signal of informed, long-horizon conviction rather than short-term speculation. When a wallet linked to a16z adds $16.91 million to an existing position, the market pays attention — and the existing position context makes this latest purchase considerably more significant than the figure alone suggests. $90 Million in One Month. One Wallet. One Direction The scale of the commitment becomes clear when the individual transactions are viewed as a single sustained strategy. Since April 14, the wallet linked to a16z has accumulated 2.11 million HYPE tokens at a total cost of approximately $90.87 million. What began as a series of individual purchases has accumulated into one of the most significant documented institutional positions in Hyperliquid’s short history. The timeline matters as much as the total. April 14 was not a market peak — it fell within the period of broader crypto weakness that has tested conviction across the ecosystem. A16z was not buying HYPE because the market was euphoric and momentum was obvious. They were building a position through a difficult environment, adding to it repeatedly over four weeks, culminating in today’s $16.91 million purchase while Ethereum and Bitcoin were losing key support levels simultaneously. Related Reading: Bitcoin Cannot Clear $82K – Analyst Explains How Traders Are Using Every Rally to Exit That behavioral profile — sustained accumulation during weakness rather than momentum chasing during strength — is the behavioral signature of an investor expressing a thesis rather than a trade. Ninety million dollars across a single month does not describe a fund taking a speculative position on a short-term price move. It describes a firm that has made a structural judgment about Hyperliquid’s trajectory and is sizing the position accordingly. For HYPE holding key levels while the broader market faces pressure, the a16z accumulation data provides the most concrete available evidence of who is on the other side of the selling. The question the market is now asking is whether $90 million is where the conviction ends — or where it is currently pausing before the next addition. HYPE Holds Strong Uptrend HYPE is trading around $45.50 after extending one of the strongest recovery structures in the current market. While most major crypto assets continue struggling below long-term resistance levels, HYPE has maintained a consistent sequence of higher highs and higher lows since bottoming near the $21 region earlier this year. The daily chart shows a decisive trend reversal beginning in late February, when buyers reclaimed the 100-day moving average and rapidly pushed the price back above the 200-day moving average. Since then, both indicators have turned upward, confirming strengthening momentum and improving market structure. HYPE is now trading comfortably above all major moving averages, a position very few large-cap crypto assets currently maintain. Related Reading: The 2022 Playbook Says Bitcoin Fails Here. On-Chain Data Says This Cycle Is Different Importantly, the recent move toward the $45-$46 resistance zone has been supported by steady volume expansion rather than isolated speculative spikes. That suggests demand is being driven by sustained accumulation instead of short-term momentum chasing. The latest breakout attempt also follows several weeks of consolidation above the $40 support region, indicating that buyers have continued absorbing supply during periods of market weakness. The broader structure now places HYPE near a critical breakout point. A decisive move above the current resistance range could open the door for a retest of the previous highs near the $56-$58 region, while the $40-$41 area remains the key support zone bulls need to defend.

Dogecoin continues to attract attention as market analysts suggest the meme coin could be entering the final stage of its consolidation phase before a stronger breakout attempt emerges. While short-term volatility and liquidity sweeps still threaten downside pressure, the broader setup is beginning to resemble the kind of high-beta structure that has historically fueled explosive DOGE rallies during periods of renewed market optimism. Historical Breakout Behavior In Dogecoin Cycles Crypto analyst APCL explained that Dogecoin may be entering a critical cleanup phase following the fill of the $0.08904 wick formed on October 10. DOGE often behaves differently from many other altcoins during breakout attempts, revisiting the origin of the move with a sharp liquidity sweep before beginning its stronger directional rally. Related Reading: Dogecoin Has Now Entered Oversold Levels That Have Led To Previous Cycle Bottoms APCL noted that Dogecoin’s historical price behavior rarely involves immediate vertical breakouts. Instead, the asset tends to produce a downward wick that retests the breakout base and clears out weaker positions before momentum shifts higher. Based on this pattern, the analyst believes the market could be approaching that final liquidity-clearing stage before a larger move develops. On the macro side, APCL shared the view that former Federal Reserve official Kevin Warsh could eventually replace Jerome Powell. The analyst argued that such a shift, combined with easing geopolitical tensions and policies aligned with Donald Trump, might temporarily trigger a broader risk-on environment across financial markets. However, APCL cautioned that the rally may only form a lower high before another consolidation phase takes place. According to the analyst, DOGE remains one of the preferred assets for capitalizing on any temporary momentum-driven rally because of its strong visibility in the United States due to Elon Musk. Furthermore, Dogecoin’s active narrative and high-beta nature often allow it to outperform during short-term speculative waves. Dogecoin Setup Focuses On Patience, Precision, And Risk Control APCL has outlined a detailed trading plan for Dogecoin, identifying the $0.09255 and $0.10099 region as the primary spot buy zone. Here, traders are presented with two different ways. The first approach involves gradually building a position through staggered limit orders within the highlighted accumulation zone while monitoring price consolidation. Related Reading: Dogecoin Recovery Push Continues, But Bears Still Threaten One Final Drop The second method, which APCL described as the more disciplined setup, involves waiting for confirmation of a potential triple-bottom formation before entering, offering a potentially stronger risk-to-reward opportunity. For traders seeking a more precise entry point, $0.09924 is the key reference level to monitor closely. Once the expected upward move begins, profit-taking should be handled gradually. Instead of holding the entire position until the last stage of the rally, APCL recommended scaling out of trades step-by-step at predefined target levels shown on the chart. Meanwhile, the analyst maintained a strict invalidation level at $0.08789, stressing that a breakdown below that support would completely invalidate the bullish thesis and close positions while a new setup develops.

Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs has made a notable shift in its crypto-related exchange-traded (ETF) fund positions, according to a recent filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The update shows the firm exiting XRP- and Solana (SOL)-linked ETF exposure, while also trimming its Ethereum (ETH) ETF holdings. At the same time, the filing shows it opened a new position tied to one of the largest decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Goldman Sachs Exits XRP And Solana ETFs The story starts with Goldman’s XRP ETF exposure going into the end of Q4 2025. At that point, the bank held nearly $154 million worth of XRP-related ETFs from issuers including Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares. Those holdings made Goldman Sachs one of the largest institutional holders of XRP ETF products at the time. The latest SEC disclosure, however, shows that its XRP ETF positions were removed entirely, reflecting a full exit during the first quarter. Related Reading: Hyperliquid (HYPE) To $100? Expert Forecasts Major Rise Before Summer 2027 A similar change appears with Solana-linked products. Goldman Sachs had previously disclosed that it held exposure across multiple Solana investment products, including the Grayscale Solana Trust ETF, the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF, and the Fidelity Solana Fund. However, just like XRP, those Solana-related ETF positions also disappeared in Goldman’s Q1 filing. In other words, Goldman fully exited both XRP- and Solana-linked ETF holdings by the first quarter of 2026, with no remaining trace of those positions in the updated portfolio disclosure. Even with these exits, Goldman Sachs did not leave the crypto ETF space entirely. The firm still held roughly $700 million in Bitcoin ETFs. Still, its posture toward Ethereum was more cautious: Goldman cut its Ethereum ETF exposure by about 70%, bringing the total down to approximately $114 million. New Bet On Hyperliquid What makes the change more interesting is that Goldman Sachs appears to be redeploying at least some of that capital into other parts of the crypto market. Alongside the ETF reductions and exits, the bank opened a new position tied to Hyperliquid (HYPE). According to the filing, Goldman acquired roughly 654,630 shares of Hyperliquid Strategies (PURR), valued at about $3.3 million.

The bank increased positions in Circle (CRCL), Galaxy (GLXY), and Coinbase (COIN) shares. At the time of writing, Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, was trading at around $45. It has been one of the best-performing tokens over the past month, with gains of 10% in the last two weeks alone. Featured image created with OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com
Dogecoin’s next major move may depend less on hype and more on exhaustion. A new technical analysis from crypto analyst Cryptollica proposes that the leading meme coin is now trading at another cycle-bottom zone, and the weekly chart is showing the same kind of RSI washout and long compression that previously appeared before notable Dogecoin rallies. Dogecoin’s Fourth Cycle Bottom Comes Into View Dogecoin has spent the better part of the past year being written off. Sentiment has collapsed, price has compressed, and the crowd that once celebrated the meme coin has gone silent. However, a structure that has correctly identified every major Dogecoin bottom since 2015 is saying this is precisely the moment worth watching. Related Reading: Dogecoin Has Now Entered Oversold Levels That Has Led To Previous Cycle Bottoms This structure analysis in question is built around the idea that Dogecoin’s chart is not only a price chart but also a record of market cycle psychology. According to analyst Cryptollica, the 2015 bottom was a period of disbelief, the 2020 bottom was boredom, and the 2022 bottom was anger. This makes the current setup the fourth cycle bottom, where sentiment appears exhausted while the bullish structure is resetting. The weekly chart shared by the analyst shows Dogecoin moving along a long-term rising support structure, with each major low forming during a period when the weekly RSI dropped into or near oversold territory. Interestingly, the latest RSI reading shown on the chart shows the Dogecoin price bouncing from that RSI in early 2026 and slowly trending upwards. Where The Structure Says The Bottom Is Dogecoin is currently looking like it is registering a bottom around $0.10. However, the most important point in this analysis is that timing the Dogecoin bottom is not confirmed by price alone. Timing the Dogecoin bottom comes from a combination of three things: an oversold weekly RSI, long compression, and price holding around the cycle support zone. Related Reading: Dogecoin Has Only 3 Steps Left Until A Surge Above $1, But A Major Factor Is Missing The first signal is already visible in the chart. Dogecoin’s weekly RSI has fallen into the same region as previous cycle lows. The second signal is compression. Dogecoin has spent months grinding through a wide base around $0.10 instead of moving in a clean upward trend. That may look weak on the surface, but in cycle analysis, extended compression often means sellers are losing control gradually. The third signal is confirmation. In order for the bottom argument to become stronger, Dogecoin would need to hold the current support region at $0.10 and begin forming higher lows on the weekly chart. A move back above the nearest major resistance zones at $0.15 and $0.2 would add more weight to the claim that the cycle bottom has been made. That means $0.10 is now one of the most important areas for the Dogecoin price. If the fourth cycle bottom is confirmed, then the question changes from where Dogecoin is now to how it has rallied from similar structural positions. Cryptollica’s analysis points to a top target above $2. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.104, back to retesting $0.10 from an intraday high of $0.1126.

Hyperliquid now regularly beats out Ethereum and Solana in weekly blockchain fee generation, driven largely by perpetual futures.
Ripple’s early push into banking partnerships may be finding new relevance in an unexpected place. One of its long-time collaborators has resurfaced at the center of X Money, the payments initiative tied to X’s broader ambition to become a global financial super app. What once served as a bridge for Ripple’s cross-border settlement network is now part of infrastructure aimed at scaling digital payments to a massive user base. How A Ripple-Linked Bank Became Part Of Elon Musk’s Payment Push A Ripple-linked banking partner from the company’s earliest expansion days has now surfaced inside Elon Musk’s X Money ecosystem. RippleXity revealed on X that Cross River Bank, one of the first US banks to integrate Ripple’s Payment protocol back in 2014 for real-time cross-border transfers between the US and Europe, is now powering part of X Money’s beta rollout through its regulated banking services. Related Reading: Why Ripple’s XRP Is A Better Transaction Choice Compared To SWIFT The same Cross River Bank that reportedly issues the Visa Debit and Flex Cards appears in X Money’s beta program. With X building its payments layer through regulated banking and card infrastructure, this places a Ripple-linked financial institution inside Musk’s expanding digital payments infrastructure. Furthermore, the development has quickly drawn attention across the XRP community because it creates a direct historical overlap between Ripple’s early settlement technology and X Money’s regulated banking framework. While there is still no official confirmation of the XRP integration within X Money, many see Cross River Bank’s role as a significant connection that is difficult to dismiss. Ripple Prime Revenue Surges Despite XRP Trading Below All-Time High Although XRP continues to trade below 50% its all-time high, Ripple’s broader infrastructure business appears to be gaining momentum behind the scenes. A technical analyst known as ChartNerd has noted that institutional adoption across Ripple’s ecosystem is accelerating, with Ripple Prime emerging as one of the company’s strongest growth drivers. Related Reading: Could Ripple XRP Power Cross-Border Payments? Russia’s Early Tests Suggest Potential The platform reportedly tripled its revenue over the past 12 months, processed more than 60 million transactions, and now clears over $3 trillion annually while operating across the United States. Thus, this is just one of a broad infrastructure stack that Ripples is building out during a bear market, and the projects that are being built now will accelerate the next bull run. Ripple and XRP have been building this infrastructure for over a decade, from surviving regulatory battles and securing a major victory against the SEC to expanding XRP Ledger functionality. XRP rules as a commodity, expanding XRPFI and DeFi capabilities, strategic acquisitions, banking partnerships, and strengthening its global infrastructure through XRPL upgrades. With more than 300 institutional clients and increasing global licensing approvals, these fundamentals have never been stronger, and clarity is on the horizon.
