Bitwise Asset Management launched the HYPE ETF on the NYSE on May 15, 2026, attracting $25.5 million in net inflows within two days, including $8.8 million from its own BHYP fund. The ETF features a 0.34% sponsor fee waived for the first $500 million in assets during the opening month, helping drive early investment. Hyperliquid, the underlying protocol, recorded $11 million in weekly blockchain fees, 97% of which are used to buy and burn HYPE tokens, creating a strong deflationary effect. The Assistance Fund has also spent over $1.3 billion buying 28.5 million HYPE tokens at a 7% annualized buyback rate, supporting the token price. Analysts see potential for HYPE to reach $70-$80 if inflows remain strong, but prices could stabilize or fall if inflows slow after the fee waiver ends. The ETF launch has significantly increased trading volume and token price, marking a key phase of price discovery for HYPE.
