Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetuals exchange, is facing market challenges as its HYPE token hits seven-month lows, despite efforts to highlight its value. Trading volumes have stagnated while newer platforms have seen surges due to incentives. Cantor Fitzgerald issued a report framing Hyperliquid as an exchange with cash flows rather than just a DeFi token. The Hyper Foundation has proposed burning approximately $1 billion worth of HYPE from a fee-funded treasury to increase scarcity. The exchange's immediate challenge is the market scoreboard, as competitors attract users with points programs and airdrop promises. Cantor argues that Hyperliquid hosts organic trading, reflected in open interest, unlike competitors with inflated activity.
