Hyperliquid’s HYPE Just Hit a New All-Time High: Experts Now Weigh $300 Target

Hyperliquid (HYPE) printed a record high near $77 on June 16. HYPE hits an ATH, with the price climbing nearly 10% in a single day as spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows accelerated.

The token now trades around $74.61, up roughly 67% over the past year. Its market capitalization sits near $16.57 billion, making it the tenth-largest cryptocurrency.

Institutional Money Rotates Into HYPE

The move arrives as institutional capital tilts toward HYPE. On June 15, spot Bitcoin funds bled while Hyperliquid products gained, part of a broader rotation across crypto ETFs.

Spot HYPE ETFs have drawn about $153 million in net inflows and nearly $900 million in volume since launch. Three products hold the token directly, namely 21Shares’ THYP, Bitwise’s BHYP, and Grayscale’s HYPG.

Efe “Crypto Kid” Kelemci, a member of the BeInCrypto Market Intelligence Experts Council, shared his exclusive comment. He ties that demand to the protocol’s economics.

“Hyperliquid’s revenue-generating business model stands out as especially attractive to institutions because its roughly $850 million in 2025 revenue saw 99% directed to buying and burning $HYPE tokens … pointing to even higher institutional inflows ahead.”

That utility helps explain the pull. Hyperliquid’s perpetual futures markets enable traders to access assets such as equities and pre-IPO names. That includes the SpaceX contract, which drew heavy volume before its public debut.

The flow timing reinforces the story. After a brief net outflow around June 5, ETF demand snapped back hard. One of the largest single-day inflows landed on June 15 as the price recovered.

Leverage Cuts Both Ways as Liquidations Spike

Strong inflows tell only half the story. Leverage on Hyperliquid has run hot since mid-May, and the data flags two-sided risk.

Long liquidations spiked in early June when prices pulled back from local highs. More recently, short liquidations have climbed as the token grinds higher, suggesting a squeeze is helping power the breakout.

The leverage backdrop also shaped a notable exit. Arthur Hayes sold his entire HYPE position above $72 in early June, then denied a reported buyback days later.

His departure offered a bearish counterweight to the bullish flows. Yet HYPE pushed to a record without him, a point traders have seized on.

What’s the Next Price Target for HYPE?

The daily chart frames the upside. HYPE reclaimed the 1.272 Fibonacci extension at $70.04 and now eyes the 1.618 extension near $83.55 as a first target.

A second target sits at the 2.0 extension around $98.47. The relative strength index is about 63, rising but not yet overbought, leaving room before momentum stretches.

One caution stands out. Volume has declined as price advanced, a divergence worth monitoring. The previous record at $59.41 now acts as support, with deeper backup near $51.05 along an ascending trendline.

Kelemci’s weekly chart shows HYPE trading in the upper half of an ascending channel since late 2024. That structure projects toward roughly $128 if the trend extends.

Kelemci also notes HYPE has gained 164% since the start of 2025. Over a similar span, Bitcoin fell 42%, and Ethereum dropped 57% from their peaks. He frames a far larger ceiling.

“If it scales to Tier-1 exchange volumes and launches spot trading, reaching a market capitalization similar to Robinhood’s roughly $70 billion would imply a token price well above $300, with the burn mechanism potentially allowing it to soar much higher.”

For now, the setup is binary. Hold the prior breakout above $59.41, and the path toward $83 and $98 stays open. Lose it, and the record run cools fast.
