BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes doubled down on his conviction in Hyperliquid’s HYPE token, saying it is the only token his team is actively buying right now. Meanwhile, he is selling these two crypto assets.

Arthur Hayes Maintains Bullish Outlook on Hyperliquid (HYPE) Token

Arthur Hayes, CIO of family office Maelstrom, has recommended investors to buy HYPE token in an X post on April 8. He said, “The only thing we’re buying right now is $HYPE.”

This mirrors his earlier detailed analysis, where he highlighted Hyperliquid as the dominant perpetuals DEX with massive trading volume.

The crypto billionaire has set a bold price target of $150 for HYPE by August 2026, implying roughly 4x upside from the $35-$40 range. Arthur Hayes argues that Hyperliquid stands out because of its highest-revenue-generating decentralized project.

Hyperliquid used 97% of this revenue to buy back HYPE tokens from the market. The platform continues to dominate in derivatives volume, with expansion into real-world assets like tokenized oil. XYZ:CL-USD and XYZ:BRENTOIL-USD oil futures on Hyperliquid are recording billions in trading volume today.
