Hyperliquid’s HYPE Surges 65% on Silver-Perps Buybacks With Key Test at $35–$50

HIP‑3’s fee‑burn design channels up to 97% of trading fees into buybacks, turning a silver‑perps volume spike into immediate HYPE demand.

Overview

  • The token trades around $33–$35 after a rapid run from roughly $22, with crypto.news noting the fully diluted value returned above $10 billion.
  • HIP‑3 silver contracts processed an estimated $1–$1.25 billion in daily notional on Jan. 27–28 as HIP‑3 open interest climbed to roughly $790–$920 million.
  • Programmatic purchases through the Assistance Fund reduce circulating supply as fees accrue, reinforcing price strength during the commodities push.
  • On‑chain flows show concentrated accumulation, including a $45 million deposit that bought about 277,000 HYPE and a PURR stake of 3.6 million tokens custodied and staked via Anchorage.
  • Risk signals include overbought RSI readings, more than $20 million in liquidations on bearish bets, and positioning skew with shorts slightly outweighing longs near $35 and the $48–$50 band.
