How to Read HYPE Price History and Cycles: Listings, Tracker Highs, and Chart Path

Sabrina Chua08/24/2026
How to read HYPE price history as dated tracker quotations and BloFin listing timestamps, including listings through 2025, the June 2026 high, and the summer retrace.

HYPE price history is the record of tracker quotations and venue listing timestamps since genesis. BloFin listed HYPE/USDT spot on May 30, 2025 at 13:30 UTC, the first BloFin spot instrument for those letters. That stamp is a listing timestamp: the moment the venue published the instrument. It belongs on a chronology. It sits apart from a HyperCore fill and from a composite extreme you might cache as a valuation.

A listing timestamp records when a venue published an instrument. A tracker all-time high is a dated extreme on an aggregator's composite. The HYPE token names the coin and its jobs. Ranking-site histories and venue boards record that path for those four letters, including BloFin's.


How to read HYPE price history and cycles

HYPE price history is built from two kinds of dated records. The first is a tracker quotation: a price an aggregator stored on a named series. The second is a listing timestamp: the moment a venue published an instrument. Read those records as a chronology, then overlay the usual crypto market cycles tide that sits under most alt series.

A tracker is a ranking site that builds a composite from many venues. A listing timestamp, often the API field listTime, is when that venue's instrument record went live. HyperCore is Hyperliquid's onchain trading environment. A HyperCore fill is a book action on Hyperliquid, which is a competing venue with its own spot and perpetual markets.

Four records share the same four letters and answer different questions. A CoinGecko all-time high is a composite extreme the aggregator dated. A BloFin last-traded price is an execution on that venue's book. A listTime is when the instrument record went live. A HyperCore fill is a book action on Hyperliquid. If you wanted what moves the HYPE price as standing drivers, that lesson sits next door. The chronology of quotations stays on the path already recorded.

Hyperliquid's own historical-data archive is an operator dump. It is a file drop for rebuilds, and it is a different product from a public all-time-high dashboard. "No other historical data sets are provided via S3 (e.g. candles or spot asset data)" (source: Hyperliquid Docs, historical data). Aggregators fill that gap. They stay aggregators. They do not become the protocol.

Suppose you export a ranking-site CSV and a BloFin fill history and paste them into one sheet because the ticker letters match. The tracker file is a reconstructed composite. The venue file is executions on one book. Concatenating them turns a composite extreme into a fake inventory line. Name the series before you name the dollar.

Genesis day and first-day tracker readings

Genesis opens the chronology as a timestamp. Foundation copy times the event at 07:30 UTC on November 29, 2024, and it names a native HYPE/USDC spot book. That is Hyperliquid's own spot market quoted against USDC, a different product from a centralized HYPE/USDT pair.

"HYPE/USDC will be traded on the native spot order book" (source: Hyper Foundation, HYPE genesis). That sentence is a product map. It does not publish an open, a high, or a low. The DEX-to-L1 story, who ran the laboratory, and how the airdrop was structured belong in Hyperliquid history and genesis. What this chronology needs is simpler: it can begin on a calendar day when ranking sites disagree about the inaugural quotation, and that disagreement is methodology.

CoinGecko's historical page, read August 21, 2026, records Hyperliquid's all-time high on a card that dates that high to June 16, 2026 at $76.87 and the low to November 29, 2024 at $3.81 (source: CoinGecko, Hyperliquid). CoinMarketCap, read the same session, dates its all-time minimum to November 29, 2024 at $3.20 and its all-time maximum to June 16, 2026 at $76.85 (source: CoinMarketCap, Hyperliquid). Both marks share a calendar day for the trough. They split on the dollar. Averaging $3.81 and $3.20 produces a figure no chronology stored.

CoinGecko's coin JSON, fetched August 21, 2026, timestamps that all-time-low field at 2024-11-29T01:30:30.000Z, hours before the 07:30 UTC genesis chronology (source: CoinGecko coin API, Hyperliquid). Treat 01:30 as an aggregator series origin. You also could not have filled BloFin's HYPE/USDT spot instrument that morning, because that instrument record did not exist yet.

Suppose you see 01:30 UTC on the JSON field and treat it as proof the allocation executed early. That field is when the aggregator's series begins. Foundation copy still times genesis at 07:30 UTC the same calendar day. Hold genesis day as an inaugural timestamp. The first-day dollars stay tracker readings, and they do not have to match.

When BloFin and other venues listed HYPE

A listing timestamp is listTime, the moment a venue published an instrument record. It is a publication time. BloFin's first HYPE spot chronology is HYPE/USDT spot at May 30, 2025, 13:30 UTC. The perpetual on the same letters is older. HYPER is a different base currency.

From the public spot book fetched on August 21, 2026, the JSON key HYPE-USDT still returns as SPOT, state live, minSize 0.001, listTime 1748611800000, which is May 30, 2025, 13:30 UTC, while HYPER-USDT SPOT returns minSize 0.1 and listTime 1745416800000, which is April 23, 2025, 14:00 UTC (source: BloFin spot instruments API). Unified ?instType=SPOT on the swap instruments path still returns SWAP records only, so that URL is the wrong drawer for this stamp. The hyphenated JSON key HYPE-USDT is the spot instrument ID on that endpoint. Reader copy for the pair is HYPE/USDT. HYPEUSDT without a slash is the perpetual. A search that concatenates letters and skips the slash is a different string from the spot JSON key.

The swap book, fetched the same session, still returns HYPE-USDT as SWAP, maxLeverage 75, listTime 1734607800000, which is December 19, 2024, 11:30 UTC, and HYPER-USDT as SWAP, maxLeverage 50, listTime 1745327700000, which is April 22, 2025, 13:15 UTC (source: BloFin instruments API, SWAP). HYPE perpetual futures explains that 75x USDT-margined instrument. Here the SWAP stamp is only a later timestamp on the chronology. It is a BloFin listing date. It is separate from a HyperCore position. HYPER is Hyperlane. Concatenating HYPER settlements onto a HYPE history column mixes two base currencies.

Listing time Instrument What appeared
December 19, 2024, 11:30 UTC HYPEUSDT (perp) BloFin USDT-margined perpetual, 75x cap
April 22, 2025, 13:15 UTC HYPERUSDT (perp) Hyperlane perpetual on BloFin, 50x, a different base
April 23, 2025, 14:00 UTC HYPER/USDT (spot) Hyperlane spot on BloFin, a different base
May 30, 2025, 13:30 UTC HYPE/USDT (spot) First BloFin HYPE spot listing, minSize 0.001

May 30, 2025 is also a crowded calendar day off BloFin's book. CoinDesk reported that Binance Futures listed HYPE, the native token of rival derivatives exchange HyperLiquid, on Friday, and called that listing a USD-margined perpetual that offers up to 75x (source: CoinDesk, Binance Futures list HYPE). Sharing a Friday with BloFin's spot listTime leaves two venue records on one calendar day. It does not merge a Binance Futures row into a BloFin spot balance.

Binance.US later opened its own spot path. Deposits and trading for HYPE first opened on June 6, 2025 at 7 a.m. ET (source: Binance.US, lists Hyperliquid HYPE). That is another venue timestamp. It is a different listing from BloFin's 13:30 UTC stamp and from native HYPE/USDC.

listTime says when the instrument appeared. The subsequent candle is a later session. Keep those fields separate.

Suppose you see Binance Futures and BloFin spot on the same Friday and treat them as one origin. They share a calendar day. They still split on venue, margin coin, and product. Convert timezones before you merge stamps, and keep each row on its own line.

Listings through 2025 and the June 2026 high

HYPE's path after genesis is a cluster of listing timestamps through 2025, then a tracker maximum dated June 16, 2026. That is a listing-year overlay sitting on crypto market cycles for traders. Distribution can widen who can hold a wrapper while the series still retraces later.

CoinCodex dates the same June extreme on a third chronology. Hyperliquid reached its highest price on June 16, 2026 when it was trading at its all-time high of $76.81, and the lowest quotation since that extreme is named as a cycle low of $51.22 (source: CoinCodex, Hyperliquid). Three aggregators, one calendar day for the maximum, and three slightly different dollars is the same class of discrepancy as the first-day minimum. CRO's price history is a useful second reading of another high-beta chronology with a different overlay. HYPE's overlay here is listings plus a short all-time range. It is a listings-and-range overlay, separate from a halving timestamp and from a six-bucket allocation.

2025 is when centralized markets multiplied: BloFin's SWAP in December 2024, then spot in May 2025, plus other venues adding futures and spot records on nearby sessions. Those timestamps widened who could hold a wrapper. They left native HYPE/USDC in place. They left a tracker maximum as a dated extreme, not as a floor. A listing headline is a press timestamp. The cycle overlay is the cluster of those timestamps plus the dated June maximum. The June 2026 mark sits on that longer chronology as a high-beta quotation during a broad window.

Listings arrive first, then a dated June maximum, then the summer giveback that follows. None of those steps is a target.

The summer 2026 retrace after the June high

After the June 16, 2026 tracker maximum, summer 2026 showed a retrace. A later rebound on that path is still a cycle. Dated daily settlements are what you can hold. A contemporaneous last-traded quote moves while you read.

CoinGecko's public daily series for the prior 365 days, fetched August 21, 2026, closed near 52.63 on August 1, 2026 (source: CoinGecko market-chart API, Hyperliquid). That settlement sits well under the June 16, 2026 dashboard extreme of $76.87 on the same aggregator family, and July settlements in that window also sat under the June mark. A daily settlement is a midnight-style snapshot. The all-time-high field stores an intra-day maximum. That is why June 16 can be the ATH date while that day's daily settlement is a different dollar. Do not cache 52.63 as a target, and do not cache $76.87 as a magnet.

A listing timestamp and an all-time high are different records. The listing timestamp is when the spot record appeared. The all-time high is a tracker extreme from a later summer. Neither one is your execution.

Suppose you screenshot the June all-time-high dashboard, write "the price" in a notes app, then open BloFin and treat the May 30, 2025, 13:30 UTC spot listTime as if it were that quotation. The May stamp is when HYPE/USDT spot went live on BloFin. The June figure is a tracker extreme from the next year. If a later daily settlement then moves back toward the June maximum, that rebound leaves the retrace on the tape. It does not license a one-way-appreciation slogan. The Hyperliquid ecosystem can add applications and markets on the same chain while this chronology still retraces, because product announcements are a roadmap. A candle is a session.

HYPE's chart posture is rebound plus product. You do not need a contemporaneous last-traded quote to hold that. You need the dated maximum, a dated summer settlement under it, and permission to stop treating the gap as a setup.

All-time highs and lows across trackers

HYPE's all-time range is a first-day minimum on November 29, 2024 and a maximum on June 16, 2026. Those are the dates the aggregators share. The dollars are tracker quotations. Two chronologies can agree on the calendar and still disagree on the first-day minimum.

CoinGecko dates $76.87 on June 16, 2026 and $3.81 on November 29, 2024. CoinMarketCap dates $76.85 and $3.20 on those same days. CoinCodex dates $76.81 and $3.90. Read those three dashboards as a description. The maximum clusters on one day. The minimum clusters on one day and still spans $3.20 to $3.90, which is wide enough that a blended "official open" would be a figure no chronology stored. Spot versus perpetual futures on a generic tape is covered in spot versus perpetual futures. The HYPE version is which market you are actually holding when a ranking dashboard shows one range: a centralized spot instrument, a centralized perpetual, or native HYPE/USDC. That range display leaves the underlying market unnamed.

A later circulating quotation, a burn total, or a rank badge would be a different lesson, and those figures move, so they stay off this chronology. The range you can cite is the dated extremes plus the listing timestamps in the table above, and that is enough to stop treating one dashboard dollar as the whole record.

Carry the cluster: November 29, 2024 for the minimum, June 16, 2026 for the maximum, and a summer 2026 retrace under that maximum, without a contemporaneous quotation and without a one-way climb.

How to read a later HYPE candle

Read a subsequent HYPE candle as a mixture of market tide, listing timestamps, and tracker composites. If Bitcoin sold off and HYPE followed, start with market cycles rather than with a cached all-time-high dashboard.

If a venue added an instrument, start with listTime rather than with the headline. If a ranking dashboard moved, start with which aggregator constructed the composite. If you wanted native-book exposure, start with HyperCore rather than with a centralized last-traded quote, because a wrapper execution stays a wrapper execution when the candle shows the same four letters. Do not treat $76.87 as a magnet, a BloFin spot listTime as a quotation, or a HYPER settlement as a HYPE settlement, and do not treat a rebound after the August 1, 2026 daily close as one-way appreciation. Standing drivers live on the unpublished price-movers guide. The path those drivers took is the chronology named here. A later quotation will be a different session, which is why you should not take a target from a cached mark.

A cached extreme is a dated high on someone else's series. A listing timestamp is a publication time. Weigh the market first, then the chronology, then whether you even wanted a HyperCore balance. A later rebound leaves those three questions in place. It leaves a reconstructed dashboard as a dashboard. It does not become a venue execution you can withdraw.


Frequently asked questions

If CoinGecko's high card says "(2 months)" on August 21, 2026, is that two months after genesis?

No. That parenthetical is age from the day the card was read, not a duration from November 29, 2024. The dated high on that aggregator is June 16, 2026. Genesis copy times the start at 07:30 UTC on November 29, 2024. Counting two months forward from genesis does not land on June 16, 2026, and it does not turn "(2 months)" into a cycle length you can trade. Read the calendar date on the card. Ignore the relative label if you are building a chronology.

Binance.US opened at 7 a.m. ET on June 6, 2025. Is that 07:00 UTC on the same morning as BloFin's May stamp?

No. 7 a.m. ET is Eastern local time, not 07:00 UTC, and June 6 is not May 30. Convert the offset before you merge that stamp with a UTC listTime. Even after conversion, you still have two venue times on two calendar days. Dropping "ET" so the seven lines up with UTC collapses a timezone into a fake listing morning. Keep Binance.US in Eastern, keep BloFin in UTC, and do not splice them into one origin.

Binance Futures offered 75x on Friday, May 30, 2025. Is that the same 75x instrument BloFin listed in December 2024?

No. Matching a 75x cap leaves two instruments on the tape. BloFin's HYPEUSDT perpetual is USDT-margined and listed December 19, 2024, 11:30 UTC. CoinDesk dated Binance Futures listing HYPE on Friday, May 30, 2025 as a USD-margined perpetual up to 75x. Two venues, two margin coins, two listing times. A Friday headline leaves the December stamp in place, and it leaves both rows as centralized listings, separate from native HYPE/USDC.

CoinMarketCap's low card can read "2y ago" in August 2026. Did HYPE launch in 2022?

No. "2y ago" is age from the fetch day, not a 2022 genesis. CoinMarketCap dates that low to November 29, 2024. Foundation copy times genesis on that same calendar day in 2024, not two years earlier. Do not convert a relative badge into a launch year. If the card still shows November 29, 2024, that is the dated mark. The badge will keep aging as you re-read it.

If I hold BloFin HYPE/USDT spot, do I owe Hyperlane fees because HYPER/USDT listed earlier?

No. Holding a BloFin HYPE/USDT spot balance leaves you on BloFin's HYPE spot ledger. It does not put you on Hyperlane and does not create a Hyperlane fee invoice. HYPER/USDT is a different base currency. An earlier Hyperlane listTime does not attach Hyperlane gas, staking, or interoperability duties to a HYPE spot holding. If you opened HYPER/USDT by mistake, that is a separate instrument with its own lots, not a hidden surcharge on HYPE.

If HYPEUSDT perpetual settles in USDT and CoinGecko's high is in USD, can I FX-convert $76.87 into my maintenance reference?

No. You do not invent a dollar-to-USDT translation of a tracker extreme and paste it into BloFin maintenance. Liquidation on HYPEUSDT perpetual uses that instrument's venue mark in USDT. A ranking-site USD high dated June 16, 2026 is a different unit on a different tape. Converting it at a rate you picked does not become the engine's band, and it does not become a HyperCore position either.

If a CoinGecko 365-day daily CSV fetched on August 21, 2026 starts in 2025, did HYPE have no 2024 tape?

No. That endpoint is a trailing window from the fetch day, not the full history. A 365-day dump pulled on August 21, 2026 will not include November 29, 2024. Genesis-day marks still sit on the historical card and on the coin JSON all-time-low field. Missing weeks in a one-year extract are a window choice, not proof the token lacked a 2024 series. Do not treat the CSV start as genesis.
