Hyperliquid Unlocked $820M in HYPE Tokens. Here's Why That Number Is Misleading.
This article analyzes Hyperliquid's unlock of approximately 9.92 million HYPE tokens (worth about $820 million) on September 6, noting that while the figure is accurate, it is misleading. Historical data shows that most unlocked tokens were not sold; for example, after the March 2026 unlock, only 1.75% flowed to exchanges. HYPE's price has risen over 50% since mid-August and has withstood multiple unlock tests. Additionally, the aid fund has burned 48.42 million HYPE through automatic buybacks, and Hyperliquid Strategies holds a large amount of HYPE and has expanded its capital allocation, indicating that actual selling pressure is far lower than market panic suggests.

Outcome.xyz HIP-4 Prediction Market Surpasses $11 Million in First Week
Outcome.xyz, the first permissionless HIP-4 prediction market on Hyperliquid, has seen trading volume exceed $11 million in its debut week. The article clarifies that this figure should not be confused with deposits or open interest, as volume may include double counting, and its $1 million trade-to-earn incentive program accelerated early activity. HIP-4 contracts are fully collateralized with no funding rates or liquidation mechanisms. Outcome's edge lies in integrating prediction markets into the existing on-chain trading environment, having staked 500,000 HYPE. The piece emphasizes the need to observe whether activity persists after incentives taper off to gauge true adoption.

Hyperliquid Expands HIP-3 with Permissioned Markets
Hyperliquid has launched an initial testnet upgrade for HIP-3, allowing independent deployment teams to control access to perpetual markets through deployer-managed on-chain allowlists. This feature is optional and does not affect existing HIP-3 markets. Co-founder Jeffrey Yan stated that deployers can create permissioned markets and manage participant lists without delegating access decisions to the core development team. The design aims to meet compliance requirements for US or institutional investors. The testnet version is live, specifications are preliminary, and adjustments will be made based on feedback.
