Few new hyped token launches are crypto's most bullish feature, concentrating bids in good, fixed-supply tokens without VC scams that buy back supply. Unlike mega equity IPOs and a lack of hyperscaler buybacks, good crypto is structurally healthier than equities, with fewer headwinds and better risk/reward as tokenization stays a dominant theme for the next few years. A correlation shock remains possible, but crypto could recover fastest afterward; this is not the time to turn bearish. x.com 

Hyperliquid is attractive because live protocols with oracle and liquidation risk can charge for ongoing risk management, giving them a potential moat. Easily copied protocols may see margins competed away. Crypto revenue continues to rise while total market cap is down nearly 40%, making good revenue-backed coins a generational long-term opportunity. Not every protocol has a moat. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Hyperliquid's growing perp share feeds fees into HYPE buybacks even as the market shrinks. Its share among the top 12 perp DEXs rose from 25% in January to 43% in September, below August's 47% peak. Its trailing buyback yield is 3.52% versus 1.51% for the S&P 500, but depends on trading volume and shrinks on fully diluted supply as tokens unlock. Watcher Guru reported plans by the NYSE owner to bring HYPE perps to regulated US markets; $100 remains the chart target. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  … Show more

Crypto's maturation, alongside monetary debasement, should keep the revenue-generating and store-of-value portfolio barbell outperforming. These are its two primary drivers. x.com 

Hyperliquid's buybacks return value to HYPE holders as its trading business grows. Its 2025 token buybacks totaled $817.79 million, more than Robinhood's $653 million in stock repurchases. Traditional finance moving onchain could bring hundreds of trillions in digital assets and quadrillions in derivatives volume; even at today's price, HYPE still has 100x potential. x.com  x.com 

Hyperliquid's HYPE will likely always trade at the highest revenue premium because of trust in its team and its many income streams, some of them, such as stablecoin yield, independent of the market. The product is incredibly sticky, the team is probably the most aligned with its own success of any project in crypto history, and it performed well in the bear market, revenue included. That is part of what buyers pay for when it is compared with other successful projects. x.com 

Zcash and Hyperliquid could face less selling pressure because they have newer, stronger narratives than NEAR and fewer holders waiting to sell at breakeven. Their appeal this cycle rests on narrative and hype; they look like this cycle's Ether and Solana. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Tokens that fund buybacks from revenue gained another reason to catch a bid after SEC staff said buybacks alone don't make an otherwise non-security token a security once its protocol is live. More usage can mean more fees for buybacks: Hyperliquid fees buy HYPE, Raydium swap fees buy RAY, and Pump, Jupiter, PancakeSwap, Aster, NEAR, Pendle, Maple and Sky do similar. Uniswap burns UNI from pool fees; Lido's DAO buys LDO by accumulation. Buybacks must be big relative to market cap and new supply. … Show more

Hyperliquid, Aerodrome and Sky generate revenue and will be rerated as crypto returns to fundamentals, even as Bitcoin's price action is unnerving. These tokens make money and reallocate it back to holders; projects without revenue, a real path to it, good tokenomics or institutional appeal will be stuck in the old era. x.com 

Crypto's Wild West reputation creates market inefficiencies and, therefore, great opportunity. It looks to have decoupled from stocks over the past year, though the risky narrative persists. x.com
