HYPE

Fact Check
The 1.29M HYPE unstaking figure and Coinbase transfer are directly reported by Odaily (2026-07-28), which cites Onchain Lens and confirms Hyperliquid's 7-day waiting period. The subsequent Multicoin (137,100 HYPE / $7.51M to Coinbase Prime) and Bitwise (22,463 HYPE / $1.23M to Coinbase) transfers are confirmed by the originating on-chain tracker Lookonchain, corroborated by EyeOnChain, PANews, and cryptonews.net, all backed by Arkham on-chain data. Every specific claim element matches primary tracker and news sources. The only nuance is characterization of deposits as 'selling'—Multicoin's Tushar Jain publicly stated the unstaking was wallet rotation, not sales—but the factual transfers themselves are well-documented.
Summary

On-chain trackers reported fresh HYPE transfers involving Multicoin Capital and Bitwise that are drawing attention as possible exchange inflows. According to Onchain Lens, Multicoin received 1.29 million HYPE worth about $71.1 million from Hyperliquid after previously unstaking the tokens, a process that requires a seven-day wait before staked balances return to spot balances. Lookonchain separately reported that over the past 10 hours Multicoin sent 137,100 HYPE worth about $7.51 million to Coinbase Prime, while Bitwise transferred 22,463 HYPE worth roughly $1.23 million to Coinbase. An earlier report also cited Multicoin sending 101,300 HYPE worth about $5.6 million to Coinbase. Large transfers to exchanges can precede selling, but they can also reflect rebalancing, custody changes, lending, or other portfolio management activity.
