In mid-August, a whale deposited $19.38 million USDC into Hyperliquid, positioning buys in the $45–46 range. This follows earlier purchases totaling $28 million from other large holders, underscoring sustained accumulation from deep-pocketed investors.
Continuous whale inflows reduce circulating supply, creating scarcity while reinforcing signals of institutional conviction. HYPE’s liquidity remains thin, which means large orders can amplify price swings far more than in deeper markets.
USDC Integration Fuels Liquidity
Another tailwind came earlier this month as Circle integrated native USDC through CCTP v2 on August 1. The upgrade simplified cross-chain transfers directly into Hyperliquid, sparking a 3% HYPE price bump.
By reducing friction, native USDC access makes it easier for traders to enter HYPE positions. Unlike wrapped alternatives that previously inflated total value locked (TVL), these flows represent real capital. Indeed, USDC inflows rose 8.3% MoM, compared to an industry average of just 0.4%.
Technical Rebound From Key Levels

From a technical perspective, HYPE has stabilized after recent volatility. The token currently holds above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level ($45.52), despite bearish signals from the MACD (-0.2419) and a neutral RSI at 47.58. The 30-day SMA ($43.66) continues to act as dynamic support.
Consolidation around current levels looks likely. A breakout above the 23.6% Fib level ($47.64) could set up a move toward $51.07 (August 27 swing high). Conversely, failure to hold $45 support risks a deeper pullback toward $43.81 (50% retracement).
HYPE’s modest daily performance reflects a balance between whale-driven accumulation and technical indecision. The immediate test remains whether HYPE can hold the $45.52 support. A decisive move either way could dictate the broader direction of altcoin momentum — and if whales continue aggressive buying, HYPE could be well positioned to challenge new all-time highs in the coming months.
