HYPE ETFs Cross $100M in First 10 Trading Sessions
In brief
- HYPE ETFs surpassed $100M in net inflows within first 10 trading sessions

- Hyperliquid processed $2.9T in 2025 volume, commanding ~60% of global onchain derivatives open interest
Rapid Capital Accumulation
HYPE ETFs have crossed $100 million in net inflows, marking a notable milestone for Hyperliquid as the DeFi derivatives platform gains traction with traditional investors. The two spot ETFs recorded $22.3 million in combined net inflows during their first week, with more than $11 million arriving on a single trading day. Momentum accelerated in the second week, as the funds saw about $20 million in net inflows on Tuesday alone.
The speed of capital deployment underscores appetite for exposure to platforms commanding significant market share. Hyperliquid processed $2.9 trillion in trading volume in 2025 and accounted for about 60% of global onchain derivatives open interest, establishing itself as a dominant player in decentralized derivatives.
Institutional Mechanics
21Shares' THYP and Bitwise's BHYP have structured their offerings to align incentives with token holders. Hyperliquid directs near 99% of revenue toward daily open market HYPE buybacks, creating a direct revenue-share mechanism. Bitwise will use 10% of BHYP management fees to purchase HYPE and stake the tokens on its corporate balance sheet, embedding the issuer's commitment into the fund structure.
The milestone shows that institutional interest in altcoin ETFs is moving beyond Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. Capital's willingness to back a derivatives-native platform—rather than a general-purpose blockchain—signals a maturing institutional view of crypto market infrastructure.
