Market Takes a Hit, Yet HYPE Stays Strong – What’s the Secret?

• Hyperliquid (HYPE) soared 3% as the broader crypto market turned red. 
• HYPE generated $1.97 million in revenue in the past day while ETH generated $2.01 million.
• Hyperliquid has been termed as a “cash cow” by market participants.

HYPE, the native token of blockchain protocol Hyperliquid, has turned bullish in the past 24 hours, despite the collapse of the broader digital asset space where investors saw $2.25 billion get liquidated in the past 24 hours, shows Coinglass, a blockchain analysis platform. Bitcoin crashed to $91,000 but has since then recovered to $95,000.

According to CoinMarketCap data, HYPE is trading at $23.28, up 3.10% in the past 24 hours. The digital asset rose to a daily high of $23.83 after crashing to a low price of $20.05. With a massive market cap of $7.77 billion, HYPE is ranked as the 19th-largest cryptocurrency by valuation.

Hyperliquid’s Fees and Revenue

A major reason for HYPE holding its price is the blockchain project’s rising fees and revenue. 

As pointed out in a report, Hyperliquid ended January being ranked higher than Ethereum in terms of fees and revenue. However, according to DefiLlama, current data suggests that ETH stands at 11th position while Hyperliquid is 14th, with revenues of $2.01 million and $1.97 million, respectively.

An X (formerly Twitter) user McKenna highlighted that Hyperliquid’s HYPE token had the fairest launch across all crypto token generation events in 2024. The user also claims that HYPE has had massive growth potential and since day 1, it “drove value back to token holders.” Another X user called Hyperliquid a “cash cow,” pointing out the project’s significant impact on the DeFi sector.
