A move by a newly created wallet to invest in Hyperliquid (HYPE) is attracting crypto market attention, according to a revelation disclosed today by market analyst Lookonchain.

Whale Accumulation Strategy
The whale’s action to engage in such buying activity appears to have been fueled by HYPE’s impressive price movements.

HYPE recorded a 20.6% price rise registered over the past 24 hours, accompanied by a substantial spike in trading volume, currently making its price stand at $34.47. Also, the token’s price has been up 57.0%, 29.7%, and 41.6% over the past week, month, and year, respectively, making it one of the most profitable assets on the crypto market currently.
Some of the major drivers of the latest HYPE’s remarkable price surge include a recent massive increase in on-chain trading demand, particularly surrounding Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 (a decentralized community perpetual contracts trading platform).

Lastly, the surged HYPE price indicates whale accumulations, as big investors are withdrawing tokens off-exchanges, draining supply circulation and helping prices to reclaim higher grounds. Whales are targeting the Hyperliquid token due to the potential growth capability associated with this cryptocurrency. The token price pump noted today and recent weeks shows that multiple investors have embraced increasing confidence in HYPE and are significantly accumulating the tokens.
