The possible intention of 0xd4d to stake recently received HYPE is forming a ground for bullish HODL sentiments. The next 3-month projection underlines probable correction of approximately 22.57%, taking its value to around $24.64 amid a high volatility of 8.97%.

Nevertheless, HYPE price prediction for 2026 is bullish as the token is expected to end the year somewhere between $34.940 and $43.489.

New Listings by Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid recently announced multiple long-short listings. This includes SKR perps with up to 3x leverage, DASH perps with up to 5x leverage, and AXS perps with up to 5x leverage. It is important to note that these listings are not any kind of endorsement by the platform.

Developments across Hyperliquid and a large-scale staking of HYPE are happening after there was speculation about overcoming the $30 resistance.

The 3-month projection continues to underline the possibility of a correction for the next 3 months; however, the token is still expected to end this year on a high.
