Today's Hyperliquid News centres on a landmark institutional milestone. Bitwise added HYPE to its Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF on July 9 at a 0.95% weight. In the biggest Hyperliquid token news of the month, the inclusion followed $1.34 trillion in first-half trading volume and a 165% year-to-date rally.
HYPE trades at $67.49, down 1.59% over 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap live data. The token ranks #9 with near $17 billion market cap. Daily volume stands at $304M as of 11 July 2026, 07:30 PM IST.
That beat the global crypto market's 1.00% rise. Price still sits below the $76all-time high from June 16, 2026.

Bitwise rebalanced its flagship BITW fund on July 9, 2026. HYPE and Stellar entered the index. Polkadot and Avalanche lost their seats.
Bitwise said the reconstitution was driven by constituent weight optimization and market cap rankings. The entry weights tell their own story. HYPE joined at 0.93-0.95%, well above Stellar's 0.38%.
That makes the token the fund's fifth-largest holding, ahead of ADA, LINK, LTC and SUI. Bitcoin still dominates BITW at 77.54%.
The numbers made the case. The platform recorded $1.34 trillion in trading volume across H1 2026. Revenue reached $320 million over the same period.
The token also delivered a 165% year-to-date gain before inclusion. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan has called the asset "one of the most compelling investment opportunities in crypto", noting that rising platform activity directly benefits holders. CoinGabbar covered the index entry in its earlier Bitwise index inclusion report.
The Hyperliquid Policy Center and wallet provider Phantom filed a joint comment letter with the CFTC on July 9. The letter argues current rules were built for custodial intermediaries. Onchain code, they say, works differently.
The groups made three requests:
The filing answers a mid-June request for information from the CFTC and SEC. Without change, the groups warned, American users stay walled off from onchain derivatives.
Pantera Capital published analysis crediting the protocol with leading onchain perpetual futures into equities and commodities. The report highlighted 24/7 trading and the absence of contract expiries.
Backing from a major crypto asset manager matters here. It frames the platform, which lists 300+ perpetual and spot markets on its official trading venue, as infrastructure that could challenge traditional derivatives exchanges.
Cumulative protocol revenue crossed $1 billion on June 30, per DeFiLlama data. About 99% of trading fees flow into open-market token buybacks through the Assistance Fund, according to Tokenomist data.
The July 6 unlock released 9.92 million tokens, worth around $645 million. The buyback fund held roughly 4.6 times that amount. Supply pressure met strong absorption.
ETF demand adds another leg. Combined net inflows into the Bitwise BHYP and 21Shares THYP spot funds passed $170 million by early July, per BeInCrypto. Grayscale's HYPG staking ETF launched June 3 at a 0.29% expense ratio, CNBC reported — CoinGabbar's HYPG launch breakdown covers its fees and staking rewards. Only about 22% of the 1 billion maximum supply circulates today, against a fully diluted valuation near $64 billion.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index rose to 26 (Fear) on July 11, up from 23 a day earlier, per CoinMarketCap. Total crypto market cap climbed 1.2% to $2.28 trillion. Panic is easing, though caution persists.
On the charts, immediate resistance sits at the $76.70 record high. Analysis suggests a breakout could target a measured move near $88. Immediate support rests at $63.66, with major support at $55.41.
Data indicates the larger uptrend breaks only below the $42 confluence. Traders can weigh these zones against CoinGabbar's Hyperliquid price prediction 2026 and the longer-range HYPE forecast page, though outcomes remain uncertain.
One counterweight persists. Singapore's MAS added the platform to its Investor Alert List in late June, extending earlier UK warnings.
Two dated items lead the calendar. The CFTC will now weigh RFI responses filed by the July 9 deadline. Its answer could shape US access to onchain derivatives.
The next monthly unlock lands on August 6, per CoinMarketCap data. Whether buyback and ETF demand absorbs that supply will test the current structure. Scenario-based targets for that window sit in the HYPE price prediction 2026 analysis.
