Hyperliquid's HYPE token fell from record highs after BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes sold his entire position, citing concerns over rising oil prices, AI IPOs, and broader market risks. Despite the drop, HYPE remains up 167% year-to-date and is still one of the best-performing crypto assets this year. Hayes' exit sparked backlash as he had recently predicted much higher prices, including a $150 target. Analysts warn the recent rally may be overheated, but the long-term outlook remains positive if trading activity and new products grow.
