Fact Check
The Odaily news article (published 2026-05-20T12:47:16Z) directly and precisely confirms the claim, citing OKX market data with the exact price of 50.202 USDT and a 24h gain of 5.25%. This is a reputable Chinese crypto news outlet reporting a specific, verifiable market data point. The OKX official price page and CoinMarketCap both show HYPE at ~$55 as of May 21, 2026, which is fully consistent with the token having been at ~50 USDT the previous day and continuing to appreciate. No conflicting data was found. The minor residual uncertainty (0.05) reflects the fact that the exact snapshot price and percentage are point-in-time figures that cannot be independently re-verified after the fact from live feeds.

Summary

Hyperliquid moved ahead of Solana on a fully diluted valuation basis as HYPE surged from 50.202 USDT to 56.2 on OKX and was later shown by Arkham at about $56.71, with a press-time price of $58.354. Arkham said Hyperliquid had "flipped Solana by FDV," with screenshots showing Hyperliquid at roughly $54.57 billion versus Solana near $54.22 billion, while earlier OKX-based figures put Hyperliquid at $54.107 billion and Solana at $54.082 billion. Despite the FDV crossover, Hyperliquid’s circulating market capitalization remained far below Solana’s, at about $13.28 billion versus roughly $49.99 billion in Arkham’s data. The move drew wider attention as Bitwise Chief Executive Officer Hunter Horsley described Hyperliquid and Solana as leading "revenue chains," citing total revenue figures of $790.55 million for Hyperliquid and $532.34 million for Solana, while Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko downplayed the rivalry and again promoted Phoenix Trade. A separate source also grouped the FDV crossover with reports that SpaceX revealed Bitcoin holdings and that a Korean funeral firm lost millions through leverage trading, though it provided no additional figures or disclosures on those items.

Terms & Concepts
  • FDV: Short for fully diluted valuation, a metric estimating a crypto project’s total implied value by multiplying the current token price by the maximum or fully issued token supply.
  • USDT: Tether, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin widely used as a trading pair on cryptocurrency exchanges.
  • Leverage trading: A strategy that uses borrowed funds to increase exposure to price moves, which can magnify both gains and losses.
