Arthur Hayes warns HYPE token may underperform ETH and ZEC despite proven demand for on-chain perpetual futures.

Arthur Hayes, BitMEX founder, acknowledged that Hyperliquid has successfully proven demand for on-chain perpetual futures markets with a working product and active trading volume. However, he warned that HYPE has become a crowded consensus trade, reducing its risk-reward appeal. Hayes sees the main risk not as a price collapse but as HYPE potentially underperforming other crypto assets like ETH and ZEC, which have stronger institutional support and growth narratives. He also noted that rising competition among perpetual DEXs makes it harder for HYPE to stand out, and he recently sold all his HYPE and NEAR holdings despite previously setting a $150 price target for HYPE.

HYPE is trading at Rp1.365.602 with a 1-day decline of 2.87%, while ETH is priced at Rp42.750.484, down 1.26% as of Oct 24, 2026 19:31 WIB. ZEC shows a larger drop of 5.91% at Rp20.890.891, reflecting varied performance among these assets on Pluang.
