We highlighted hyperliquid:native in our Alpha Report #55 on March 12, 2026 when it was sitting around $37.
What we reported then:
- Arthur Hayes published his “HYPE Man” thesis, setting a $150 target by August 2026 and calling HYPE his largest liquid altcoin bet, driven by 97% of protocol fees going to buybacks and burns.
- HIP-3 permissionless markets crossed $1.2B in open interest, with crude oil futures doing $1.99B in 24h volume as traders move to Hyperliquid’s 24/7 onchain orderbook during geopolitical volatility.
- Even Hayes’ bearish case gives HYPE a $58 target, implying 75% upside, while revenue sits at an $843M annualized run rate and needs only a 4% market share gain to revisit its $1.4B peak run rate.
