On the sixth trading day, Hyperliquid ETFs saw significantly higher inflows than any crypto peer.  The ETFs bought 2.5 times the amount of HYPE that the Assistance Fund bought and burned during the same period, adding fuel to already strong buying pressure. The dynamic is creating a supply squeeze as treasury vehicles have already absorbed a large chunk of supply, with legacy sellers distributing before passive products arrived. This reduces the risk that new ETF demand meets old sell pressure. ### Arthur Hayes Reiterates $150 Target—5X From Current Levels BitMEX co-founder **Arthur Hayes** published a detailed analysis reiterating his August 2026 price target of $150 for HYPE, roughly 5X higher than current levels around $30. Hayes argues Hyperliquid dominates the perpetual DEX market as the largest revenue-generating project outside stablecoins.  Revenue hit $843 million annualized in March. Hayes projects this grows to $1.4 billion by August, driven by HIP-3 permissionless listings.  These new markets—equity perps, precious metals, and indices—already account for 10% of total revenues despite launching recently. ### Real Volume Separates Hyperliquid From Competition Hayes highlighted a key metric separating Hyperliquid from competitors: the ADV/OI ratio. Hyperliquid has the lowest ratio among top perp DEXs, proving its volume comes from real traders putting up real margin, not wash trading or token farming. Beyond that, order book analysis shows Hyperliquid offers the cheapest execution for trades ranging from $100,000 to $10 million despite competitors advertising lower fees. Valuation looks cheap. Hyperliquid trades at 12 P/E compared to Chicago Mercantile Exchange at 26 P/E, **Robinhood Markets Inc.** (NASDAQ:HOOD) at 40 P/E, and **Coinbase Global Inc.** (NASDAQ:COIN) at 32 P/E. _Image: Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks - [GBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [COIN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIN.US.md) - [ETHE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHE.US.md) - [FETH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FETH.US.md) - [IBIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [BTCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCO.US.md) - [BLOK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BLOK.US.md) - [MNRS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MNRS.US.md) - [LMBO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LMBO.US.md) - [BRRR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [CETH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CETH.US.md) - [BITQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITQ.US.md) - [BITO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITO.US.md) - [OWNB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OWNB.US.md) - [COIW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIW.US.md) - [BTCW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [COIG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIG.US.md) - [HODL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HODL.US.md) - [ETHA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHA.US.md) - [WGMI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/WGMI.US.md) - [FBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [EZBC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [ETHW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHW.US.md) - [BKCH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BKCH.US.md) - [MSTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTW.US.md) - [BITB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITB.US.md) - [ARKB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [SATO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SATO.US.md) - [BTCHKD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCHKD.VAHK.md) - [BTCUSD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCUSD.VAHK.md) - [ETHHKD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHHKD.VAHK.md) - [ETHUSD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHUSD.VAHK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Twenty One Capital Outlines Operating Plans to Build the Bitcoin Company | XXI Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287062741.md) - [Bankless founder liquidates his ETH holdings; Ethereum's most loyal followers have all left.](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287222530.md) - [Key facts: Zcash Foundation $36.7M; Jain Discloses Stake; Hayes 10% BTC](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287062810.md) - [Lombard joins LayerZero exodus as $4 billion in assets switch to Chainlink's bridge](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287205902.md) - [ZAWYA: OKX launches USDSⓈ-M options on Bitcoin and Ether](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286889580.md)
