Hyperliquid HYPE Enters Top-10 By Weekly Gain

That puts HYPE roughly $924 million ahead of Dogecoin, making Hyperliquid the 10th-largest token by market capitalization. On the weekly frame, HYPE is also in the top-10 gainers with over 18% gain.

Still, the ranking can change quickly. HYPE’s lead over Dogecoin is less than $1 billion, which means a move in either token could reverse the order.

As HYPE’s price set a new ATH, the token entered price discovery, with traders on Polymarket putting the odds of HYPE hitting $100 at about 57%, with about $304,000 in volume betting on that price as of press time.

The price rally comes just a few days after Jeffrey Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, the company behind the New York Stock Exchange, said Hyperliquid has become too big for traditional exchanges to ignore.

Speaking at Bernstein’s 42nd Annual Strategic Decisions Conference on May 27, Sprecher said Hyperliquid had drawn attention in energy markets since it allows trading when traditional oil markets are closed.
