The post HYPE Rally Sees Early Rotation As Whales Offload Nearly $30M appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Whales are starting to cash out after a blistering run in Hyperliquid’s native token $HYPE, on-chain tracker Lookonchain flagged on X (Twitter) late Thursday, a string of multi-million-dollar sales by large addresses shows profit-taking as the token trades in the mid-$50s. According to the Lookonchain post, four big wallets have sold large chunks of HYPE over the last few days: 0x746b (qianbaidu.eth) unloaded about 188,861 HYPE (~$10.6M) at an average of $56.01, 0x7be1 sold 175,000 HYPE (~$9.75M) at $55.72 avg, 0x0e41 sold 113,310 HYPE (~$6.32M) at $55.74 avg, and 0xe867 disposed of 50,000 HYPE (~$2.77M) at $55.53 avg.
