Hyperliquid allocated 31% of its total token supply—310 million HYPE—to a retroactive airdrop, potentially making it one of the year’s largest. Valued at $5 per token, this airdrop distributed $1.5 billion worth of assets to platform users.

What set Hyperliquid apart was its commitment to decentralization. Eschewing centralized exchanges, the team opted to list HYPE solely on its internal platform operating on the Arbitrum network. This strategy paid off, as HYPE’s price climbed to $5, generating $375 million in trading volume within half a business day.
