Summary
An in-depth look examines the valuation of the HYPE token and the growth of the Hyperliquid platform. Alessandro explores how the token moved from $2 to $93 and reviews the fully diluted valuation sitting around $90 billion. The discussion breaks down where platform fees go, the crises the protocol survived, and what tokens the team has actually taken. By comparing Hyperliquid with other coin peaks and analyzing tokenomics, the review evaluates how HYPE buybacks and staking rewards function at current revenue levels. Furthermore, the analysis evaluates traditional futures trading volume, noting that CME trades about a quadrillion dollars a year while Hyperliquid accounts for roughly 0.4 percent of that figure. Hypothetical scenarios explore potential fee values if US rules open up and the platform captures 1 percent, 5 percent, or 10 percent of CME business. Additional topics cover silver and oil trading on the network, platform risks, and potential factors that could disprove the thesis.
