Overview

  • The project distributed 4,600 Hypurr NFTs on HyperEVM, allocating 4,313 to Genesis Event participants, 144 to the foundation, and 143 to contributors.
  • OpenSea data show the collection quickly reached a floor near 1,578 HYPE (about $75,000) with 24-hour volume around 1.3 million HYPE (roughly $62 million) and a top sale at 9,999 HYPE (about $467,000).
  • HYPE traded near $47, up roughly 5% over 24 hours, as CoinGlass reported futures volume rising about 14% to $1.8 billion with open interest little changed.
  • OTC desks like DripTrade facilitated pre-launch deals for select Hypurr NFTs, with reported prices as high as $88,000 before the airdrop went live.
  • Security researcher ZachXBT reported eight Hypurr NFTs stolen via compromised wallets with an estimated haul near $400,000, prompting renewed wallet-security scrutiny.
