The price of Hyperliquid fell nearly 2% on Tuesday, continuing a slide after an over 5% decline on Monday. This recent price action follows a period of cooling institutional interest in Hyperliquid-focused exchange-traded funds.
Why it matters
Market attention has shifted toward tokenized assets, reducing demand for Hyperliquid-focused ETFs that saw zero net inflows on Monday. This rotation follows a $1.83 million net outflow in September, contrasting with the $66.33 million net inflow recorded in August.
Hyperliquid trades below $86 as of Tuesday, down from a recent high of $98.03. Exchange-traded funds focused on the asset recorded $9.25 million in inflows last week but have seen broader volatility, including a $1.83 million net outflow in September.
