The price of Hyperliquid's HYPE surpasses Solana, with SOL price dropping to its lowest level since 2023

According to The Block, the price of Hyperliquid's HYPE token surpassed Solana on Wednesday, which has fallen to its lowest level since 2023. HYPE reached an all-time high of $74.67 on Tuesday and is currently trading at $74.47, higher than Solana's $71.62. Over the past month, HYPE has risen about 24%, making it one of the few assets among the top 20 cryptocurrencies to increase, while Solana has dropped nearly 14% during the same period.

In terms of market capitalization, Solana still leads with about $42 billion compared to Hyperliquid's approximately $16 billion, but the gap is rapidly narrowing. CoinShares released a valuation report on Tuesday stating that HYPE is one of the few crypto assets where protocol activity almost directly translates into token demand, with a target price of about $147 by 2031 under the baseline scenario.
