The digital asset\u2019s latest surge marks a remarkable comeback after it plunged to around $53 a few days earlier following a<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/zec-near-wld-round-trip-zcash-rebounds-18\/\"> marketwide sell-off<\/a> that also saw <span>bitcoin<\/span> slip to the $61,000 mark.<\/p>\n<p>However, as rumors of a possible deal between the U.S. and Iran began to grow heading into the weekend, HYPE reversed losses. It continued rising until it reclaimed the $70 threshold before hitting a new all-time high of $76.90 at 9:01 a.m. EST. The 11.6% daily jump pushed HYPE\u2019s weekly gain to nearly 22%.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/hyperliquid\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"hyperliquid market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>The aggressive price action also comes amid growing discussion over the network\u2019s long-term supply dynamics. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/simononchain\/status\/2066299672461762565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post<\/a> on X, Delphi Digital analyst Simononchain pointed out that while Hyperliquid\u2019s native Assistance Fund has been actively absorbing supply\u2014deploying millions of dollars daily from trading fees to buy back HYPE on the open market\u2014this collective buying power may still face structural headwinds. According to the analyst, the protocol-managed treasury\u2019s current purchasing scale remains far from being able to fully counter the massive <span>volume<\/span> of core contributor token unlocks looming on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond native token dynamics, the platform has also benefited from heightened macro <span>trading volume<\/span>. Market observer Robert Sagurton <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RobertSagurton\/status\/2066831996798558704\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">noted<\/a> on X that Hyperliquid emerged as a major winner following the recent SpaceX (SPCX) initial public offering.
