The Hyperliquid team confirmed that 1.75 million HYPE tokens were unlocked on Saturday for developers and core contributors, worth over $60.4 million at current prices. According to Hyperliquid developer iliensinc, the unlock is part of the project’s predefined vesting schedule and was announced in advance. For comparison, around 270 million tokens were fully unlocked on Nov. 29, 2024 — equivalent to about $9.5 billion at today’s market value. Hyperliquid has never raised external capital, so there are no investor unlocks or related selling pressure.
