Hyperliquid Update: The $820 Million Unlock Landed on Saturday and HYPE Printed Its All-Time High of $89.60 the Same Day — 9.92 Million Tokens Against 48.42 Million Burned, a $2.5 Billion Treasury Facility, and a Trump-Endorsed CFTC Path That Its Own Lawyers Put at About a Year
Hyperliquid released 9.92 million HYPE tokens from vesting on Saturday 6 September — about $820 million at the $82.60 the token traded at, 0.99% of maximum supply and 4.46% of what circulates — and the price made a new record of $89.60 at 12:28 UTC the same day, per CoinGecko, before settling to $86.84 at our pull. This update does the arithmetic behind the “unlock” headline that has preceded every one of these events and been wrong about most of them, sets the unlock against the 48.42 million tokens the protocol’s buyback fund has burned and the 29.3 million a Nasdaq-listed treasury company holds, and reads The Block’s account of how the exchange might legally reach US traders after the President said he wanted it to. It ends with one falsifiable claim about the price a week after the unlock.
