It reportedly received 253,947.43 HYPE from exchanges and market makers in seven hours, worth about $15.03 million. The average withdrawal price in that batch stood near $59.2.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hayes exit adds market tension<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The buying claims come during a volatile week for Hyperliquid. HYPE recently hit record highs before pulling back sharply. Crypto.news price data showed HYPE trading near $61.37 on June 5, down 15.49% in 24 hours but still up 39.51% over 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>The pullback also followed Arthur Hayes\u2019 decision to sell his full HYPE and NEAR positions. Earlier reports said Hayes sold 247,334 HYPE worth about $18 million, days after a $100,000 wager and a prior $150 HYPE target.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid still has strong market drivers. Earlier reports said its Assistance Fund directs 97% of protocol fees into open-market HYPE purchases. That mechanism has supported demand while ETF products and trading volume bring more attention to the asset.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the story remains a whale-tracking update rather than proof of an official a16z trade. The key facts are clear: large wallets linked by analysts to a16z kept withdrawing HYPE, the token remains volatile, and traders continue to watch whether heavy accumulation can balance profit-taking near recent highs.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of wallets described by on-chain analyst Ai \u59e8 as linked to a16z has reportedly withdrawn another 224,118 HYPE from exchanges over 24 hours, adding to a large 2026&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30840"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30841,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30840\/revisions\/30841"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
