HYPE Price Eyes $20

HYPE has been one of the best-performing altcoins throughout the past 24 hours. This comes on the back of a massive increase in trading volume, which is up almost 100% on the day.

Beyond that, though, Hyperliquid’s open interest copared to that of centralized exchanges has reached an all-time high according to data from Hypeflows. 

Some analysts seem to believe that open interest is a better metric to gauge the number and engagement of the flow of new users, which means that Hyperliquid is getting a more organic flow of retail users compared to major centralized exchanges.

In any case, Hyperliquid currently accounts for 83% of the total trading volume across decentralized exchanges with almost $6 billion in the past 24 hours.

Second Hyperliquid Airdrop Rumors

In addition to apparently strong fundamentals over the past couple of weeks, there are also rumors circling around social media that the team might be preparing to launch a second season of Hyperliquid points, which is the system used to reward users with HYPE tokens through an airdrop.

According to a popular social media user and a frequent Hyperliquid commentator, the points page has seen its user-interface updated on testent.
