Arthur Hayes predicts $150 for HYPE: Can Hyperliquid’s trading boom make it happen?
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, predicts that the HYPE token from Hyperliquid could reach $150 by August 2026, a 5x increase from its current price. He argues that despite weak market sentiment, decentralized exchanges (DEXes) like Hyperliquid can thrive by generating consistent revenue from trading fees. Hyperliquid's model uses ~97% of its revenue to buy back and burn tokens, reducing supply and supporting the price. However, achieving this target requires annualized revenue to grow from ~$843 million to ~$1.4 billion. A key growth driver is HIP-3, which enables permissionless perpetual markets for assets like the Nasdaq-100 and already contributes 10% of revenue. Hayes also highlights Hyperliquid's low ADV/OI ratio as a sign of genuine trading activity. While recent price gains and improving sentiment are positive, the market remains cautious, awaiting stronger confirmation of sustained growth.
