As Hyperliquid continues its unstoppable ascend to become the new go‑to venue 
for 24/7 real word assets (RWA’s) and macro risk, BitMEX co-founder Arthur 
Hayes is doubling down on his prediction that $HYPE, Hyperliquid native token, 
will surge to $150 by August 2026. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Breaks Crypto

See you at $150. 😘😘😘😘 pic.twitter.com/rD5cdBw0UL — Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) 
March 20, 2026 After the essay he published on his Substack on March 9, Hayes 
predictions are now supported by new evidence: not only are oil perpetual 
contracts trading $1.5bn a day on the platform, as the trader demonstrated on 
a post published today on the social media X, but new data from research 
outlet Coin Bureau also highlights that this all-time high open interest means 
that the platform is now trading more volume in tokenized commodities than 
digital assets. Oil, gold and silver now account for more than crypto in 
Hyperliquid. 🚨BREAKING: Hyperliquid now trades MORE oil, gold, and silver than 
crypto. Combined HIP-3 open interest surpassed $1.5 BILLION, an all-time high.

— Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) March 20, 2026 Hayes’ logic is straightforward: if 
Hyperliquid establishes itself as the primary venue for around‑the‑clock oil 
and macro trading, then HYPE effectively becomes the high‑beta way to own that 
growth in on‑chain volume and fees. In other words, every spike in real 
activity on the exchange, from war‑driven oil hedging to broader RWA 
speculation, feeds back into the token’s value capture, turning HYPE into a 
leveraged expression of Hyperliquid’s market share and revenue trajectory.

Report Shows The Geopolitical-Driven Intertwinement Of Hype And Oil Oil has 
been on a war‑driven tear this week, with benchmark Brent crude spiking toward 
the $120 mark after Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and fresh 
threats to facilities across the Gulf. The conflict has effectively injected a 
hefty risk premium into crude, as attacks on export terminals, refineries and 
shipping lanes around the Strait of Hormuz raise the odds of prolonged supply 
disruptions. Prices are now hovering near triple‑digit levels after an initial 
surge of roughly $40–50 percent since the Iran war began, and intraday moves 
have turned extremely volatile as traders try to handicap whether the fighting 
escalates into a broader regional energy shock WTI Crude Oil trades for almost 
$95 on the daily chart. Source: OILUSD on TradingView HYPE has been on a 
war‑driven tear of its own, grinding higher alongside crude. After a sharp 
impulse move that pushed the token into the low‑$40s this week, intraday 
swings have widened and funding has turned choppy, reflecting aggressive 
positioning on both sides of the book rather than a slow, organic grind. Even 
so, $HYPE is still trading several hundred percent above its levels from last 
year, and each fresh spike in oil‑linked perp volume on Hyperliquid is being 
read as confirmation that the token remains a high‑beta proxy on growing 
on‑chain demand for geopolitical and commodities exposure. HYPE trades for 
almost $40 on the daily chart, a slight surge from yesterday. Source: HYPEUSDT
