HYPE

Fact Check
The original Lookonchain tweet reports the exact figures in the claim (495,473 HYPE, ~$26.8M deposited to OKX), and the Bloomingbit news article explicitly attributes the report to Lookonchain. Multiple independent X posts (Zarv, Ledgexs) corroborate identical numbers and the nuance that a deposit does not confirm a sale. The claim accurately reflects the sourced reporting, including its qualification about potential sell pressure.
Summary

A wallet linked to Selini Capital deposited 495,000 HYPE worth about $26.8 million into OKX, drawing attention to whether the move signaled selling pressure in Hyperliquid's token. Selini Capital founder Jordi Alexander said the transfer was not a large-scale sale and that the firm's HYPE holdings are used across the ecosystem for fee staking, liquidity provision, HyperEVM arbitrage and HYPE bidding rather than being held for simple sale. He also said HYPE is trading at a fair value based on fundamentals, while further upside depends on whether stronger traditional finance trading volumes convert into actual protocol fee growth. Exchange deposits are often watched as a potential precursor to sales, but they can also reflect trading operations, collateral, custody or other internal uses.
