A significant transaction involving 557,902 HYPE tokens valued at $32,898,942 was recorded within the last 24 hours, according to blockchain data platform Whale Alert.
Whale Alert observed that the HYPE tokens were transferred from an unidentified wallet to HyperCore, the central trading hub for the Hyperliquid blockchain. HyperCore serves as the foundational financial and trading engine of the Hyperliquid network, enabling on-chain spot and perpetual trading through native order books.
On-chain analytics service Lookonchain reported a related flow, identifying that the whale received 557,902 HYPE from FalconX and subsequently deposited the tokens into Hyperliquid for staking. This sequence suggests the transfer’s primary purpose was to stake the assets through Hyperliquid’s infrastructure.

This latest action follows a pattern of growing staking activity among large HYPE holders. Lookonchain recently tracked another whale who staked 2.93 million HYPE, valued at $172 million, using 19 wallets likely under unified control. These deposits and staking took place within a single 24-hour period, further illustrating heightened whale interest in HYPE staking opportunities.
As of the latest figures, HYPE traded at $57.48, registering a 1.59% decrease over the past day and a 2.13% drop over the previous week. The token has now declined for four consecutive days, beginning July 21, as its recovery from July’s earlier highs faltered and it continued to set lower highs.
HYPE’s chart shows a steady drift downward since its July pullback, with the token extending its losing streak this week and failing to reverse the trend.
The subdued performance in HYPE aligns with a wider downturn in the cryptocurrency market. Many major coins have also traded lower in recent days, with sentiment remaining cautious among investors.
Aggregated data from CoinGlass indicates that liquidation activity has picked up, mirroring volatility across the sector. Within the past 24 hours, total liquidations reached $244 million, with long positions accounting for $215 million of the total while short positions made up $29 million. This breakdown suggests that the recent moves caught bullish traders off guard, prompting swift position closures.
