Hyperliquid Strategies will unlock approximately 9.92 million HYPE tokens on September 6, 2026. This release carries an estimated market value of $820 million. The event increases the liquid supply available to core contributors and ecosystem participants.
Analysts suggest a significant sell-off remains unlikely despite the large unlock value. Historical data shows only a small percentage of newly vested HYPE tokens typically reach exchanges.
The protocol’s Assistance Fund provides constant buying pressure by purchasing HYPE from the open market. This mechanism uses trading fees to buy and burn tokens to offset potential selling pressure.
