Decentralized derivatives exchange Hyperliquid's core development organization Hyperliquid Labs plans to distribute approximately 1.2 million HYPE tokens to its team members on January 6, 2026. Based on the current price of about $26, the total value amounts to up to $31.2 million. This is the second monthly distribution the team has received under a linear unlock schedule since the token's initial distribution in November 2024. Despite competition from emerging rivals like Lighter and Aster, Hyperliquid recorded a net capital inflow of $3.87 billion and an astonishing total trading volume of $2.95 trillion in 2025, maintaining its top position in decentralized perpetual contract trading volume. Although this unlock is part of an established plan, its market impact should not be underestimated given the circulating supply of only about 238 million tokens.

A technical article published on blog.can.ac disassembled the Hyperliquid binary file through reverse engineering, accusing it of having a $362 million funding gap and other 9 serious issues, bluntly stating that it is a Centralized Exchange disguised as Blockchain. In the face of FUD, Hyperliquid personally stepped in to reconcile accounts, not only successfully clarifying the funding security issue but also rarely pumping its competitors Lighter and Aster.
