Hyperliquid's HYPE token jumps 5% as Iran war brings windfall revenue, JUP gains on supply freeze
Traders lean into supply compression stories in altcoins as Hyperliquid ramps up token burns and Jupiter freezes new emissions, even as bitcoin churns between $60,000 and $69,000 with muted flow.

What to know:
- Hyperliquid’s HYPE token rose about 5% as surging trading activity, especially in oil futures, boosted fee revenue and accelerated token buy-backs and burns even as bitcoin and the broader crypto market declined.
- The protocol generated $2.8 million in fees over the past 24 hours and over $13 million in the past week, enabling $9.22 million worth of HYPE to be burned in seven days, a 20.4% increase from the prior period.
- Traders appear less concerned about this week’s $316 million HYPE token unlock, roughly 2.7% of released supply, amid expectations of limited net supply growth, a supply-discipline narrative also supporting Solana-based Jupiter’s JUP token.
Hyperliquid's HYPE token outperformed bitcoin BTC$66,826.12 and the broader market as traders flocked to the decentralized exchange over the weekend, placing bullish bets on TradFi-linked futures amid escalating Middle East tensions.
HYPE has climbed more up to 5% in the past 24 hours, as exploding platform activity led to higher token burn rate, countering fears of an impending $316 million token unlock. Bitcoin, meanwhile, dropped 0.7% to $66,700. The CoinDesk 20 Index, a broader market gauge, has declined by 1.7% to 1,937 points.
Hyperliquid’s fee mechanism channels a portion of trading fees directly into HYPE buy-backs and burns. So spikes in activity, like the weekend rush into oil futures, lead to increased fee revenue and slash circulating supply of the token.
The protocol has earned $2.8 million in fees over the past 24 hours and over $13 million in one week, according to data source Defillama. It has burned $9.22 million worth of tokens over the past seven days, a 20.4% increase from the prior period.
This has shifted attention away from the token unlock – roughly 9.92 million HYPE, equal to about 2.7% of released supply, is scheduled to unlock this week. With historical unlocks often resulting in smaller-than-projected releases, according to data tracked by Tokenomist, traders appear to be betting that net circulating supply will not expand meaningfully.
Jupiter’s JUP token – up 13% in the last week and largely steady over 24 hours – has drawn similar attention after holders in a late-February governance vote approved eliminating net-new emissions for 2026, shelving planned token distributions and preventing any additional JUP from entering circulation this year, reinforcing the same supply-discipline narrative now driving selective altcoin strength.

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
