Hyperliquid Cuts Monthly Team Unlocks by Nearly 90%

Hyperliquid, the high-leverage crypto trading platform, announced a dramatic reduction in its upcoming team token unlocks.

HYPE, the DEX’s powering token, barely reacted despite the intervention’s goal to slow down near-term token emissions.

Hyperliquid Drastically Reduces Team Token Emissions, Signaling Market Supply Shift

According to a post on the company’s Discord channel, 140,000 HYPE tokens are scheduled for release next month. It marks a steep decline from the 1.2 million units unlocked in January.

The cut represents an almost 90% reduction in monthly team allocations, an interesting move for traders that monitor token supply schedules for potential price impact.

Team unlocks are often a source of short-term volatility in exchange tokens, and the sharp drop in HYPE emissions may ease market pressure in the coming weeks.

This reduction in token unlocks could help stabilize liquidity and reduce sell-side pressure. Investors should therefore view this as a positive signal for managing supply overhang.
