Binance Futures Lists HYPE With Up to 75x Leverage, NO Price Pump, Why?

Binance Futures has made a big move by adding the HYPE/USDT perpetual contract to its platform. Starting from May 30 at 10:30 UTC, traders can now take advantage of up to 75x leverage on HYPE, the native token of Hyperliquid.

However, despite this exciting launch, HYPE’s price has surprised many by dropping 4.5% in the past 24 hours instead of going up.

But Why No Price Pump?

Despite this big launch, HYPE’s price didn’t go up. In fact, it dropped by 11% in the past week, now sitting at around $32.8. This has left many people scratching their heads, especially since HYPE has been on fire lately. 

Over the past month, the token has jumped 78%, beating out other top coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, currently ranked as the 12th biggest cryptocurrency in the world.

Airdrops and Hyperliquid’s Growth

Hyperliquid itself has been a hot topic because of its huge trading volume, reaching $11 billion in perpetuals. Plus, users are collecting rewards and points through various protocols, which adds to the excitement around the ecosystem. 

Many believe that HYPE has more room to grow, especially with rumors of another airdrop in the air.
