She did not confirm whether the firm holds a position in the native token of the decentralized exchange — HYPE, but stressed that the project deserves attention, especially given its growing competition with the new Aster platform within the BNB Chain ecosystem.

According to the Ark Invest CEO, despite the diversity of tokens, the future of the crypto industry will be shaped by a limited number of dominant networks.

“Bitcoin occupies the main space as the pure cryptocurrency,” Wood said, emphasizing that digital gold remains the cornerstone of the company’s long-term strategy.

She also reaffirmed her forecast that the price of BTC could exceed $1 million by 2030.

Hyperliquid NFT Collection

On September 28, the Hyper Foundation, the team behind the project, launched an NFT collection on the HyperEVM network called Hypurr.

A total of 4,600 tokens were created, with 4,313 distributed to early DEX users.

At the time of writing, the floor price for one NFT is 1,480 HYPE, with total trading volume exceeding 1.3 million HYPE.

“The Hypurr collection is a keepsake for those who believed in Hyperliquid in its early stages and contributed to its growth. Each token is unique, reflecting the moods, hobbies, tastes, and values of our community,” the Hyper Foundation stated.

However, the documentation stresses that these NFTs have no practical utility.

Problems in the Ecosystem

The Hyperdrive lending protocol, operating within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, suffered a hack in which attackers stole approximately $782,000, according to CertiK analysts.

The hacker drained funds from the Primary USDT0 Market and Treasury USDT Market, stealing about $637,000 in USDT0 and 110,244 thBILL, later converting the assets into BNB and Ethereum.

The team promptly paused the protocol and patched the vulnerable smart contract to prevent further damage.

“We identified this as a sophisticated attack by a known malicious actor linked to previous high-profile exploits. The investigation is ongoing, and more details will be released soon,” the developers said.

Hyperdrive emphasized that all affected users have been fully reimbursed. The team said losses were covered from the project’s reserve fund to maintain community trust and reaffirm its commitment to security. They also noted that additional protective measures and enhanced smart contract audits are being implemented to prevent future incidents.
