HYPE pops 7%, beating bitcoin declines, as SpaceX pre-IPO lands on Hyperliquid
Hyperliquid's HYPE token experienced a 7% increase in value, contrasting with declines in major cryptocurrencies. This rise followed the launch of a synthetic pre-IPO perpetual futures contract tied to SpaceX's valuation by Trade.xyz. The SPCX-USDC contract, which does not involve actual SpaceX shares, quickly gained traction in the market.
