Robinhood Launches Spot Trading for HYPE Token
HYPE token’s price climbed 10% after Robinhood’s spot trading launch and a $1 billion treasury plan, reflecting strong market reaction to dual bullish catalysts.
The price of Hyperliquid’s HYPE token rose 10% on October 23 following two key developments: Robinhood’s official launch of spot trading and Hyperliquid’s $1 billion treasury announcement. This surge builds on an earlier 13% rally to $40.54 triggered by the initial listing, with the token now near an $11 billion market cap after a 1,000% rise since its December 2024 launch. Hyperliquid Strategies has filed with the SEC to raise $1 billion for a HYPE token buyback, holding 12.6 million tokens valued at $470 million and $305 million in cash for additional purchases. Trading volume has increased significantly, with short-term support at $35 and resistance levels at $42–$50 before a potential retest of the $59 all-time high.
