The HYPE token, launched by Hyperliquid — a decentralized perpetual trading platform and Layer 1 blockchain — has surged over 200% since its token generation event on November 29. Currently priced at $12.11, the token has gained more than 30% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data .

This rapid price increase has pushed the token's fully diluted valuation (FDV) past $12 billion. With 333 million tokens circulating out of a 1 billion max supply, HYPE’s market capitalization currently stands at around $4 billion. Investor demand is evident in the 24-hour trading volume for the token, which exceeded $258 million. 

According to DeFiLlama data , Hyperliquid has also risen to lead in trading volume and total value locked among decentralized perpetual swap platforms.

HyperLiquid's launch of Hype DEX 

Zeta Markets co-founder Anmol Singh interpreted the high trading volumes surrounding HYPE’s launch as a sign of the growing prominence of decentralized exchanges and perpetual platforms.  Singh noted that DEXs are increasingly becoming the preferred choice for token launches, bypassing centralized exchanges, which have been criticized for lacking transparency and community alignment.

"Centralized exchanges have become outdated and clunky," Singh commented in an email to The Block. "They take more than they give, offering little in return to the community or protocols they list." The Zeta Markets co-founder believes that the prominence of DEX token launches isn’t just a fleeting trend. "By 2025, we’ll see the majority of token launches happening on DEXs, making them the clear choice over CEXs," he added.

HYPE plays a crucial role within the HyperLiquid ecosystem, serving multiple functions that enhance the platform's utility and decentralization. It can be staked to secure HyperBFT, an optimized proof-of-stake consensus mechanism that ensures network security and promotes decentralization. Additionally, HYPE is the native gas token for the HyperEVM, the network's execution environment, facilitating transaction fees.
