Binance listed Hyperliquid (HYPE) with a 'Seed Tag' designation, indicating that the asset is subject to high risk and volatility. Reuters reported that the listing triggered an immediate price drop as whale wallets began moving assets to exchanges, a move interpreted by traders as a prelude to selling.

The decline followed a 4.5% drop in HYPE's price after the listing, despite open interest on Hyperliquid’s exchange reaching a record $18 billion shortly before the event. According to 247wallst.com, the token's small float, with only 26% of the 1 billion total supply currently in circulation, exacerbates these sharp price movements.
