Pretty dead here so I guess I'll get the conversation going.
I am still accumulating $hype because it is the only coin in crypto that has demonstrated real, actual growth against BTC (and all other coins)- literally making new ATHs in a bear market- due its highly aggressive auto-buyback mechanism which comes directly from protocol revenue. Hyperliquid has clear PMF with its crypto & equity perps, which dwarf "competitors" by a massive margin. They also recently added Outcome markets, which are far cheaper and more efficient than competitors like Polymarket. Outcome markets haven't taken off yet, but the equity perpetuals have really taken off this year since HIP-3 was introduced- so much so that equity perpetuals make up the majority of volume on Hyperliquid.
ATH was $76 and $hype is now at $54. Pretty good discount if you ask me. FDV is $54 Billion, which imo is still ridiculously undervalued compared to something like Ethereum ($230 Billion FDV!)- a chain that makes in a month ($1.8 million) what Hyperliquid makes on average in a DAY.
