HYPEHyperliquid Price

Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, is opening its prediction market infrastructure to public deployment following its HIP-4 upgrade. To launch a market, deployers must stake 500,000 HYPE tokens (approx. $30M), which can be slashed if validators rule the market was poorly defined or settled incorrectly. In return, creators can earn up to 50% of the market's trading fees. This "skin in the game" model contrasts with curated platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. The move comes as prediction markets see record volumes, surpassing $50B in June. While Hyperliquid's current share is small ($176M), its permissionless approach could significantly disrupt the sector. The feature will launch first on testnet before moving to mainnet. The article also includes brief market updates: major cryptocurrencies posted weekly gains; prediction markets had a record summer; Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows; and notable movements occurred in memecoins and NFTs.

Arthur Hayes, the well-known crypto investor and former head of BitMEX, has announced he has completely sold off his holdings in the $HYPE token. Despite this sale, he remains confident that $HYPE has the potential to outperform Solana in terms of returns before the end of the year, stating "sometimes you need to fall to take off." His contradictory action of selling while maintaining a bullish outlook has sparked lively discussion among market participants, further fueling trader interest in the cryptocurrency's future trajectory. The potential of $HYPE is highlighted by the recent record-setting performance of Hyperliquid's HIP-3 markets this month. In contrast, activity on the Solana blockchain is reportedly declining due to persistent exploits. At the time of writing, $HYPE was trading at $57.55, down 2.7% over 24 hours and nearly 7% over the past week. Meanwhile, Solana's price saw a slight 24-hour increase of 0.85% to $75.91, with a weekly decline of approximately 2%.

A major crypto investor, often referred to as a "whale," has unstaked $57 million worth of $HYPE tokens. This particular whale acquired the tokens 17 months ago at an average price of $18, meaning a potential profit of over $39 million if sold. The assets were deposited into FalconX and Coinbase Prime, indicating a likely intention to sell. Separately, another wallet unstaked 1.89 million $HYPE ($105.9 million). Analysts note that while unstaking can signal bearish sentiment or portfolio restructuring, it does not automatically mean the holder will sell. This trend is growing; the volume of $HYPE awaiting withdrawal has more than doubled in a week, from $241 million to $496.6 million. Concurrently, the total amount of staked $HYPE has decreased over the past month. This shift suggests some long-term holders are adopting a bearish outlook and reducing their positions. The $HYPE price has fallen 16.15% over the month to $54.4, with a market cap of $13.7 billion, trading in a downtrend after a recent bounce. Daily trading volume has also declined. In a related move, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes sold all of his $HYPE holdings worth $18.02 million in June, despite previously offering optimistic forecasts for the cryptocurrency.

Qualcomm reported its Q3 FY2026 results (ending June 2026), with revenue of $9.95B, down 4% YoY but above expectations. Gross margin declined to 53.1%, pressured by rising costs across manufacturing and memory. Key business segments showed mixed performance: Handset revenue fell 19.6% YoY to $5.09B, dragged by an 11% decline in non-Apple Android shipments and weaker high-end mix. Conversely, Automotive revenue surged 61% to $1.59B, and IoT grew 9% to $1.83B. Core operating profit dropped 41% YoY due to margin compression and higher expenses. Management's Q4 FY2026 guidance projects revenue of $9.7B-$10.5B, in line with consensus, but Non-GAAP EPS guidance of $2.05-$2.25 fell short of expectations. Amidst persistent weakness in its core handset market, Qualcomm is pursuing growth in AI, focusing on Edge AI (smartphones, PCs, automotive) and Data Center AI. Its data center strategy includes four pillars: AI accelerators (e.g., AI200), commercial CPUs (Dragonfly C1000), custom silicon, and connectivity solutions. While these initiatives initially boosted its stock, concerns over AI capital expenditure sustainability have since erased those gains. The company targets $5B in data center revenue for FY2027 and $15B for FY2029. The report concludes that with the traditional handset business still under pressure, the data center opportunity is currently viewed as a longer-term option, and a more conservative valuation based on core operations may be warranted until AI contributions materialize.
