Analysis: Hyperliquid and AI tokens may lead the next wave of altcoin market trends
Van de Poppe pointed out that HYPE recently hit a new all-time high, partly due to the launch of ETF products related to Hyperliquid in the U.S. market and European traders shifting to the platform for perpetual contract trading.
He believes that Hyperliquid's expansion into tokenized stocks, commodities, and pre-IPO assets is accelerating the trend of asset onboarding in the crypto market.
However, he also stated that from a mid- to long-term perspective, Solana remains more attractive for investment than Hyperliquid, as it is gradually shifting from a "retail-driven ecosystem" to institutional-grade infrastructure.
In the AI track, he thinks NEAR Protocol and Bittensor are still significantly undervalued. Despite continuous growth in related ecosystems, their valuations still lag behind traditional AI companies.
He pointed out that AI tokens might regain funding attention in the future.
Van de Poppe also emphasized that current crypto market liquidity is concentrating on a few high-growth protocols, while macroeconomic factors remain key variables, including bond yields and central bank policy directions across countries.
He warned that if inflation persists or interest rate hikes restart, it could put pressure on risk assets.
