Crypto’s Wild Ride: Could HYPE Token Actually Hit $5,000? Spoiler-It’s Bonkers!

by

Arthur Hayes, BitMEX co-founder and part-time soothsayer, has dropped a bombshell prediction: Hyperliquid’s HYPE token might just moonwalk all the way to $5,000. 🤑

During a podcast with Kyle Chasse (because where else would this happen?), Arthur linked this jaw-dropping forecast to a wild boom in the stablecoin universe. Apparently, the total supply could skyrocket past $10 trillion, unleashing a frenzy of speculative mania that would make even the boldest gamblers blush.

So, How Exactly Does HYPE Hit $5,000? Because Surely, That’s Not Just Pie in the Sky?

Well, dear reader, Hayes believes that once retail investors strap on their levered jetpacks in search of sky-high returns, demand will explode for platforms that basically say, “Come lose all your money here!” Hyperliquid, rejoice.

“I don’t have enough money to do these things that I want to do. But there’s this leverage trading venue where if I pick the right, you know, piece of coin or I pick the right meme stock in the American, you know, casino stock market, you know, I can get the car, I can pay off my student loan for the worthless degree that I got,” he deadpanned. 📉➡️🚗

Basically, Hayes is the casino owner waving from behind the velvet ropes while the rest of us shuffle in, chips in hand, hoping for a jackpot in perpetual futures contracts (which, by the way, never expire-because who doesn’t love an eternal gamble?).

“This is the system that those in charge have chosen to create-and the population is going along with it. I’m going to own the casino where the plebs are going to gamble,” Hayes said, in the tone of someone who just bought the snack bar in Vegas. 🎰

Throwback to Tokyo, where he casually mentioned HYPE could jump 126 times in three years. Now that Hyperliquid’s becoming the cool kid on the decentralized exchange block, that prophecy feels more real than your last Tinder date.

Unlike other players who rent space on blockchains like those desperate college grads renting flats, Hyperliquid has its very own blockchain and zero expiration dates on those futures contracts. Forever bets? Yes, please.

This strategy paid off big time-Hyperliquid commands over 60% of the perpetual futures market. It’s practically elbowing out Robinhood and giving Binance a run for its money (literally!).

And if that’s not enough to make your jaw drop, get this: Hyperliquid’s net income in 2024 hit $1.2 billion-just slightly ahead of NASDAQ’s $1.13 billion. All this with a team smaller than your average office’s coffee club. ☕️📉📈

Oh, and here’s the kicker for HYPE fans: 98% of the exchange’s revenue goes straight to buying back tokens. Translation: HYPE’s been climbing like it’s on Red Bull, recently hitting an all-time high above $57. 🚀
