As institutional appetite for market leaders cools, a massive capital rotation is underway. Newly launched HYPE spot products and XRP funds are capturing millions from fleeing ETF investors.
While Bitcoin’s recovery slows down just under $78,000, large-cap altcoins Hyperliquid and Zcash break away from the pack to post massive daily gains.
Despite HYPE dominating large-cap crypto performance in 2026, Bitwise asserts the market is severely underestimating the platform’s extensive reach into tokenized equities and prediction markets.
On-chain data reveals a long-term, institutional accumulation strategy by a16z, positioning the firm as the sixth-largest HYPE holder globally with nearly $80 million in floating profits.

Hyperliquid said a wallet accused of insider shorting of its HYPE token belongs to a former employee dismissed in early 2024.
