A whale who held Hyperliquid (HYPE) tokens for a year has secured nearly $140 million in profits by staking and then selling tokens gradually. This exit reduces major selling pressure on HYPE, but institutional selling continues as Multicoin Capital also reduces its holdings significantly. Meanwhile, Hashdex added HYPE to its NCIQ ETF, creating new institutional demand worth $14.7 million, though this is still smaller than the recent large-scale sales. The market now faces a balance between ongoing selling pressure and growing ETF-driven demand, which will influence HYPE's price direction going forward.
