• Hyperliquid needs to attract more developers to its platform to justify the $25 billion market cap of its HYPE token

Building a Strong Developer Community

Hyperliquid has gained significant value since its launch, thanks to its HYPE token which was introduced to the market in a November airdrop. However, the smart contract platform’s success largely depends on its ability to entice a committed developer community. VanEck warns that failure to meet the growth expectations of its community could lead to a rapid unraveling due to the prisoner’s dilemma facing many newly rich HYPE holders.

The Success Story of Hyperliquid’s Perpetual Futures Exchange

Hyperliquid has experienced rapid growth since its establishment in 2024. Its flagship perpetual futures exchange has dominated the market, capturing around 70% of the market share and surpassing rivals such as GMX and Dydx. Today, it handles approximately $260 million in transactions daily. This impressive performance mirrors the larger gains seen in the decentralized exchanges (DEXs) market, which reached a record trading volume of $433 billion in December, according to VanEck.

The HYPE Token Performance and Future Prospects

Hyperliquid’s HYPE token has recorded a staggering 500% increase since its launch on November 29. After reaching a high of about $34 per token, it has since retraced to around $25. Despite only a month of trading, Hyperliquid ranks as the 13th most valuable project in the crypto world. However, VanEck points out that Hyperliquid’s growth story rests on its ability to transition into a general-purpose blockchain that will accommodate other applications besides its highly successful Perp DEX.

The Vision for Hyperliquid in 2025

In 2025, Hyperliquid plans to launch an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contract platform. This move, according to VanEck, is vital for diversifying the L1’s revenue base and justifying the high valuation of the HYPE token. Already, about half a dozen Hyperliquid-native decentralized applications (DApps) are live on the EVM’s testnet, attracting thousands of users.

Conclusion

Hyperliquid’s journey shows the potential for growth and value in the crypto market. However, it also underscores the importance of a robust developer community in sustaining market capitalization. As Hyperliquid gears up for the launch of its EVM smart contract platform in 2025, the crypto world will be watching to see if it can justify its HYPE token’s valuation and continue its impressive performance.
