Hype News: Why is HYPE's price down today?

Hyperliquid (HYPE) dropped 2.39% in 24h due to Coinbase's new perpetuals competition, technical bearish signals, and broader market weakness. Coinbase Perpetuals launch threatens Hyperliquid's market share Technical indicators show bearish momentum (MACD < Signal Line) Market-wide dip: Total crypto market cap fell 1.36% 1. Primary catalyst: Coinbase Perpetuals competition Coinbase launched US-regulated perpetual futures on July 24, directly challenging Hyperliquid's position as the leading decentralized perpetuals platform. While Hyperliquid processed $249B in May 2025 volume, traders are reassessing whether CEX convenience could divert liquidity. The timing aligns with HYPE's price dip starting at 10:11 AM UTC+0 on July 24 – 11 minutes after The Defiant's critical analysis went live. 2. Technical context: Bearish momentum builds MACD crossover: Histogram turned negative (-0.372) as MACD (1.67) dipped below Signal Line (2.04) Key support breach: Price ($42.97) below 7-day SMA ($44.93) and EMA ($44.99) Fibonacci retracement: Testing 50% level at $42.67 – a breakdown could target $40.98 (61.8%) 24h volume rose 32.78% to $472M, suggesting active selling pressure. 3. Market dynamics: Altcoin rotation cools BTC dominance rose from 60.05% to 61.07% in 24h, pressuring alts Altcoin Season Index dropped 6.98% as risk appetite waned Fear & Greed Index dipped from 70 (Greed) to 67, reflecting caution HYPE's dip reflects sector-specific competition fears amplified by technical weakness and a cooling altcoin market. Will Hyperliquid's deep liquidity ($14B open interest) and upcoming Zircuit integration help it retain market share against CEX rivals? What is the latest news on HYPE? Hyperliquid faces rising CEX competition but maintains strong derivatives traction, with whale activity and airdrop speculation fueling volatility amid bullish forecasts. Coinbase Perpetuals launch challenges Hyperliquid's US market share. $3M whale leverage bet on ETH drives platform activity. Second airdrop rumors resurface after hedge fund losses tied to HYPE. . Market Metrics & Whale Activity Hyperliquid's open interest hit $14.7B (July 23), but HYPE dipped 2.6% to $42.83, reflecting mixed sentiment. A whale deposited $3M USDC for a 20x ETH long (July 24), amplifying liquidity inflows and protocol fee revenue. Despite this, the token's 7-day decline (-7%) suggests profit-taking after a 123% 90-day rally. 2. Regulatory & Competitive Shifts Coinbase's new US perpetuals (July 24) threaten Hyperliquid's dominance in non-KYC trading. However, analysts argue Hyperliquid's onchain transparency and lower fees (vs. CEXs) could retain advanced users. The CFTC's tacit approval of US perpetuals (via Chair Mersinger) validates the sector but intensifies competition. 3. Ecosystem Developments Zircuit's 'Hyperliquid' AI engine (July 24) risks brand confusion but highlights demand for cross-chain DeFi tools. Investment forecasts (July 24) project HYPE at $72 by 2025, citing its 70% DEX perpetuals market share and $185M spot volume debut. Airdrop farming resurfaces after Asymmetric Fund tied losses to unreleased rewards, hinting at future user incentives. Hyperliquid's duel with Coinbase and whale-driven volatility underscore its pivotal role in onchain derivatives, but sustainability hinges on differentiating its trustless model. Will HYPE's meme-like momentum overshadow its DeFi utility as altseason intensifies? Check out our HYPE page for more info.

Fogo Launches Public Testnet: Fastest Layer 1 Blockchain Sets New Bar for Onchain Trading

Former TradFi executives from Jump, JP Morgan, Citadel, and Morgan Stanley launch the fastest Layer 1 blockchain to date CAYMAN ISLANDS, July 22, 2025 (Bitwire) -- Today, Fogo, an L1 blockchain enabling the greatest onchain trading experience with unprecedented speed, near-instant finality, and scalability, officially announced the launch of its public Testnet, introducing the fastest Layer 1 chain to date. Created for traders by a team of veteran traders from Citadel, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Jump, Fogo is the first Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) chain to feature native multi-local consensus and enshrined dApps built directly into the protocol, and will become the first live implementation of the Firedancer validator client in its purest form. 'With the launch of this Testnet, we're officially rewriting the standard for what DeFi has to offer,' said Douglas Colkitt, Initial Fogo Contributor and formerly at Citadel. 'We've rebuilt the trading stack from the ground up to build upon what Hyperliquid has made possible and bring it to the SVM ecosystem. With vertical integration, real-time latency, and fee-free execution, Fogo gives top traders and builders a new performance frontier that's fully onchain and fully prepared to deliver the next generation of performance-first blockchains.' Unlike most blockchain projects chasing speed with compromise, Fogo was engineered from the ground up to deliver institutional-grade execution without sacrificing decentralization or composability. This, combined with native infrastructure and vertical integration, positions Fogo as the first true performance-focused alternative to Hyperliquid. Key features and differentiators of Fogo include: 'Fogo represents a new wave of performance-maximized infrastructure,' said Kain Warwick, founder of Infinex and Fogo partner. 'For traders who care about execution, latency, and fairness, this is a major milestone and the evolution that DeFi desperately needs.' Fogo's public Testnet launch comes on the heels of a community-first funding round via Echo in January 2025, where the protocol raised $8M in just under two hours. Crypto investor Cobie called it 'a first' for Echo deals, praising Fogo's token distribution that favors the community over insiders. A private Testnet launched on March 31, 2025, following a Devnet rollout in January. The Fogo Testnet is an open invitation for developers, traders, and protocol builders to start experimenting with its vertically integrated architecture. The network is built to handle institutional-scale throughput with unmatched responsiveness, merging the speed and determinism of TradFi with the open, decentralized ethos of crypto. The Fogo Testnet is now live.

With its unique architecture and Firedancer implementation, the chain offers low latency, near-instant finality, and unparalleled scalability. As a purpose-built blockchain, Fogo incorporates a carefully constructed, vertically integrated tech stack. This includes a curated validator set, native price feeds, an enshrined DEX, and multi-local consensus validators to create a truly differentiated trading environment. Backed by a team of trading and engineering experts and driven by a vision to redefine what's possible, Fogo is setting the standard for high-performance blockchain infrastructure, perfectly balancing the decentralization vs performance tradeoff whilst maximizing performance and maintaining global censorship resistance. ### Media Contact: Melrose PR [email protected]

Why is XRP Up Today? Whale-Driven Rally Sends Ripple to Nearly $3

What to know: XRP rallied 8% from $2.58 to $2.78 between July 11 06:00 and July 12 05:00, with an intraday high of $2.96 at 15:00 before retracing. Afternoon price action saw exceptional volume — over 375M between 13:00–15:00 — with buyers repeatedly defending the $2.70–$2.75 zone. A $14.03M leveraged long was opened on Hyperliquid at $2.30, signaling aggressive whale positioning. Analysts now target $2.90–$3.40 as the next resistance band, citing bullish structure and capital inflows. News BackgroundWhale wallets have ramped up exposure in recent sessions, most notably with a $14M long established on derivatives venue Hyperliquid. The trade coincides with a breakout from an ascending triangle structure and a growing belief among technical analysts that the $2.90 region, once cleared, could spark a fast leg toward $3.40 and beyond. This comes as Ripple's broader ecosystem — including RLUSD stablecoin momentum and cross-border settlement integrations — continues to attract institutional interest. Price Action Summary Range: $0.35 | Low: $2.58 → High: $2.96 Peak Time: 15:00 | Sharp retracement followed, but price held above $2.70 Support Zone: $2.70–$2.75, where demand remained intact through multiple tests Final Hour (04:55–05:54): XRP rose from $2.76 → $2.79 (+1%) Volume Spike: 2.6M between 05:30–05:35 validated breakout toward session close Technical Analysis Price formed an ascending triangle with higher lows and horizontal resistance tests Total trading range of $0.35 = 14% volatility on session Afternoon resistance at $2.96; consolidation at $2.78 Key breakout zone remains $2.90–$3.40; breach would likely trigger accelerated upside Late-session breakout confirmed by real volume, not thin order books — a key bullish sign What Traders Are Watching Can XRP flip $2.80–$2.85 into a new base? Watch for reaction near $2.90; a clean move through that zone with >200M volume may open path to $3.40 Failure to hold above $2.70 could invite pullback toward $2.58–$2.60 Whale long at $2.30 continues to act as downside anchor for bullish bias TakeawayReal flows, strong technical structure, and aggressive leveraged positioning underpin XRP's 8% daily move. The $2.96 rejection showed local resistance, but recovery into the close points to renewed strength. A confirmed breakout above $2.90 could mark the start of a new bullish leg — with traders already eyeing $3.40 and, in ultra-bullish cases, $5+ as long-term Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to our standards.
