Odaily News: Hyperliquid ecosystem project team HyperLabs has unlocked 433,025 HYPE, worth approximately $23.46 million, and has been continuously depositing tokens into trading platforms, including Flowdesk and OKX. Tracking data shows that an additional 9.92 million HYPE is expected to be unlocked on September 6, worth approximately $589 million based on a price of $59.39.
The Hyper Foundation publishes the claim amounts around the 6th of each month. In March, only 173,217 HYPE were actually claimed, lower than the planned 99,200 tokens. Tokenomist data shows that the aid fund has repurchased 11.9 million HYPE from the unlock schedule, accounting for approximately 14%. The repurchased tokens will be burned, reducing the current total supply to 955.3 million HYPE.
Certified Public Accountant Dat Ngo stated that tax liabilities typically arise upon token vesting, and some holders may sell tokens to cover taxes. TMGM CPA Ashley Akin stated that if the market is not overly leveraged, the $581 million unlock can still be absorbed, but combined with margin requirements, it would increase trading difficulty.
On-chain perpetual contract trading platform Hyperliquid does not restrict users from trading during certain news events. Market data shows that liquidation volume has dropped 71%, trading volume has fallen 50%, and open interest continues to decline. Bitcoin remains below $65,000, and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes will be released ahead of the Federal Reserve's September 15-16 meeting. (Forbes Digital Assets)
