The HYPE token on Hyperliquid reached a new all-time high of $64.21, forcing a whale trader to unwind a $27 million short position by selling over $14 million worth of tokens. The trader still holds a partial short position while offloading more tokens as prices surge. This price rally is driven by institutional inflows, including a $58.73 million Bitwise ETF launch and significant venture capital accumulation. Hyperliquid's transparent market shows growing pressure on short sellers amid strong platform fundamentals and high trading volumes.
