Rajiv Sawhney, head of Iinternational Portfolio Management, at Crypto Asset Management Firm Wave Digital Assets International, attributed the decrease of hype to a not unexpected retreat by investors who have loaded the Token after recent Great Buy-Ins by Eyenovia and Lion Group, companies that Crypto-Teas.
Eyenovia, a Nasdaq listed in Nasdaq, American -Ophthalmic Technology Company, $ 50 million picked up Via a private equity deal to buy more than 1 million hyperliquid tokens earlier this week, while the Lion Group Holdings traded in Singapore recently also announced it had a credit facility of $ 600 million secured To build a crypto reserve with hyperliquid.
“This phenomenon has recently occurred quite regularly, whereby companies announce a crypto -buying program, and the market immediately buys the doll and then sells after the announcement,” said Sowney Decodeer.
The analyst also emphasized conventional trade trends, among other things. “Given that the hype hit new all-time highlights, I am not surprised that the token witnessed any reversal because the rest of the market has recently been light on volumes and direction.”
Illia Otychenko, chief analyst at Cex.io, has noticed since mid-May and the “buy-and-burn mechanism” on a decrease of 50% in trade volume as the cause of the decline.
“The buy-and-burn mechanism of the platform, where the hype is automatically purchased when users pay trading costs, was an important engine of the recent rally,” he said, adding to it: “As the platform activity slows down, this price-supporting mechanism is weakened, which removes an important source of upward pressure.”
