After nearly 10% rise in the last 24 hours, the hype for high lipid native tokens set a new all-time high at $39.92. Milestone continues its protocol plus performance in 2025.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, the distributed derivative exchange token has increased its value by 111% over the past 30 days, which has contributed to the new peak. The tokens enjoy relatively positive performance in 2025, and have been enough to raise 45% so far.
This makes hype one of the most performant altcoins in a year that is generally rough, with the exception of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has grown by 16% this year, while major altcoins such as Ether, Solana, BNB, Link and ADA have reduced YTD.
Even the major altcoins that benefited, such as XRP and TRX, only saw single-digit positive performance. MoneroXMR is the only top 20 cryptocurrency that has risen more than 100% this year.
Meanwhile, Hype’s recent performance has made it higher on the list of top Cryptos by market capitalization. It ranks 11th at $12.72 billion, according to Coinmarketcap, and is much higher than $12.05 billion, and is far behind the TRX, with a market capitalization of $25.83 billion.
Hype rides on the Crypto Whale Watching Train
The positive performance of the hype has been linked to increased high lipid growth and activity over the past few weeks. Decentralized derivative trading exchanges have fallen into the spotlight as a trading venue for crypto whales entering and leaving the market.
Whales like James Wynn and Mathe Big Brother use high lipids to run trades and make millions of profits, making the platform attract the attention of more traders who have praised its transparency.
All of this allows Hyperliquid to set up multiple best new records of all time. Over the past 24 hours, we saw $10.1 billion in public interest, $5.6 million per day fee, and $3.5 billion in locked in total value of USDC. We also set up a record of new peaks for daily active users with 18,000 unique addresses.

Despite a recent surge in activity, high lipids ranked 9th on the list of DEX platforms due to trading volume over the past seven days, with $2.55 billion far below Pancake Wop and UNISWAP, winning $5.568 billion and $270.1 billion.
In addition to increased activity, high lipid toknomics has also been attractive to some investors and has increased its demand. There are ongoing acquisitions of hype tokens, with multiple whales piling up their assets.
Eight whales have purchased over 930,000 hype tokens worth around $33 million in the past three days, according to Lookonchain. Interestingly, another whale, who had been hyped at $1.45 million worth of $55 million over five months, is in a position to start selling and make profits of more than $28 million if they sell everything.

Bullish expectations for hype tokens remain, with many crypto investors bullishing about tokens. Bitmex co-founder Arthur Hayes is one of the hype Bulls and predicts that the token could reach $100.
The signs of that strong bullish sentiment are also evident that the whale recently lost more than $23 million and tried to shorten the hype, and ultimately had to settle and close his position.
Meanwhile, the signs of headwinds in the project appear to have been eliminated after X’s high lipid basal account was recovered after violations. Bad actors initially gained control of their accounts and used it to promote scam projects that are currently being removed.
Hyerliquid has confirmed that violations do not affect its blockchain or other social media channels. He added that he was working with X’s security team to investigate the account compromises, but the incident did not touch on either internal systems, emails or credentials.
