🚀 HYPE to $200? Rivals Plot Crypto Coup with Zero Fees & Points 🎮

by

Ah, the grand circus of crypto! Behold, the mighty Hyperliquid, a titan among decentralized perpetuals exchanges, has risen like a phoenix in the ashes of 2025. Yet, the vultures circle-rivals with their shiny rewards systems, promising riches to the gullible masses. 🤑

Cantor Fitzgerald, those soothsayers of the financial world, prophesy that Hyperliquid’s HYPE token shall soar to $200 by 2035. Hyunsu Jung, the high priest of Hyperion DeFi, chants that the Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal 3 (HIP-3) will be the sacred flame fueling this ascent. “HIP-3,” he declares with a dramatic flourish, “is the key to our next act of grandeur, the linchpin of Cantor’s divine valuation framework.” 🙏

Perpetual swaps, those eternal contracts bound to the whims of the market, dance on without expiration. A funding mechanism, like a cunning jester, shuffles payments between the long and short, keeping the price in check. Ah, the beauty of financial alchemy! 🧙♂️

The market share of perpetual futures DEXs, once a mere 2.1% in January 2023, has ballooned to a staggering 11.7% by November 2025, according to the wise sages at CoinGecko. Progress, they call it. Madness, I say. 📈

Cantor Fitzgerald’s Crystal Ball: $200 HYPE by 2035

In the frosty embrace of December, Cantor Fitzgerald unveiled their prophecy: decentralized trading venues shall propel HYPE to $200 in a decade. “Given that fees are returned to token holders via buybacks,” they scribbled in their sacred tome, “HYPE should trade at closer to 50x by 2035.” And lo, they added with a flourish:

“Using this methodology, we see a path for HYPE eclipsing $200.” 🌕

Their oracle assumes a 15% compound annual growth rate and the Assistance Fund, that onchain leviathan, repurchasing 291 million HYPE tokens, leaving a mere 666 million in circulation. Ah, the devil’s number! Coincidence? I think not. 😈

This rosy vision also hinges on CEXs surrendering 1% of their market share annually to DEXs, a tidy $600 billion in trading volume. A small price for the revolution, no? 🏰

The Rivals: A Threat Cloaked in Zero Fees and Points

But beware! The shadows lurk with emerging DEXs, chief among them the cunning Lighter, poised to usurp Hyperliquid’s throne. “In the short term,” Jung warns, his voice trembling with feigned concern, “competition from perpetual DEXs, especially newcomers like Lighter, poses a risk.” 🗡️

Lighter, that Ethereum-rollup-based upstart, has seduced traders with its zero-fee trading model and a points-based yield farming system, boasting daily volumes exceeding $8 billion. A siren’s call, indeed! 🧜♀️

Whispers of Lighter’s token generation event (TGE) have sent traders into a frenzy, with Lighter points fetching $12 in the shadowy over-the-counter markets as of Dec. 20, according to the enigmatic Legends Trade. Will this be the coup de grâce for Hyperliquid? Only time will tell. ⌛
