$HYPE token to be unlocked

$HYPE Token Unlock: January 6, 2026 Tomorrow marks a pivotal moment for Hyperliquid ($HYPE) as the first structured monthly unlock for the team and contributors officially goes live. While early estimates predicted a massive flood of tokens, recent transparency updates from the team have changed the narrative. 1. The Numbers: Supply & Inflation Unlock Amount: Approximately 12.46 million $HYPE tokens (approx. $320M USD) are scheduled for release. The Team Update: Originally, 17 million tokens were scheduled, but the team proactively reduced their portion to 1.2 million tokens (a 30% reduction) to minimize market impact. Circulating Supply: This release represents roughly 3.7% of the current circulating supply. 2. The Possibility of a "Dip" (The Bear Case) The market is currently pricing in a high probability of a short-term correction. The $24 Support: Traders are closely watching the $24.00 level. If the unlock triggers a sell-off, analysts warn of a potential slide toward $19.30 – $21.00. Whale Fatigue: Historical data shows that large unlocks often lead to "pre-emptive" selling. Large holders (Whales) may dump their bags before the unlock to buy back cheaper later. Revenue Slowdown: Platform revenue has cooled off slightly in Q1 2026, which limits how much "buyback" power the protocol has to absorb this new supply. 3. The Case for Stability (The Bull Case) Methodical Approach: The tokens were already "unstaked" on December 28th to prepare for an orderly distribution rather than a chaotic market dump. Fee-Driven Buybacks: Hyperliquid generated over $870M in revenue in 2025. This "Assistance Fund" is designed to buy back and burn $HYPE, which acts as a massive shield against dilution. Governance Optimism: There is an active proposal to exclude 37M HYPE ($937M value) from "circulating supply" metrics, which could improve market sentiment and scarcity optics.
