Fact Check
The primary originator Onchain Lens post (status 2084008739682791434) reports the exact figures in the claim: 24h burn ~$643.14K, $513.8K revenue to Assistance Fund and HYPE holders, cumulative 46.18M HYPE (~$2.43B), 4.62% of max supply. The odaily article 505960 and coinness article both relay these numbers, and independent aggregators (Binance Square) corroborate 46.18M HYPE / $2.43B / 4.62%. All claim components align with the primary source. Note the claim's $643,100 rounds the source's $643.14K and 'reporting window' revenue of $513,800 matches $513.8K.
