Opinion: The HYPE buyback scale can reach hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter, serving as the main driver to boost the token price

ME News Report, May 24 (UTC+8), BlockBeats reports that Forbes author Zennon Kapron pointed out that the recent surge in HYPE is mainly due to Hyperliquid's built-in buyback mechanism, rather than ETF expectations. The article reveals that Hyperliquid uses its over $1.16 billion in accumulated trading fee income to repurchase HYPE on the open market through the Assistance Fund. In comparison, the initial capital inflow for the ETF was only a few tens of millions of dollars, while protocol buybacks can reach hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter, becoming the core factor supporting the current price. However, this mechanism depends on trading volume, so if the market declines, trading fee income and buyback support may weaken simultaneously. (Source: MLion)

Zennon Kapron's analysis perspective is quite fresh; previously, everyone was focused on ETF speculation.

1.16 billion in fee income, this cash flow is considered top-tier in DeFi.

I previously thought it was an ETF news leak, but it turns out it’s mechanism-driven; my understanding needs to be updated.

The buyback mechanism gives HYPE a dividend-like attribute similar to stocks, changing the long-term holding logic.

So, is the HYPE increase due to fundamentals rather than hype? Rare

Hyperliquid's model design is quite clever, with fees directly reinvesting into the token price.

The name Assistance Fund is well chosen, and it truly fits the “assistance price” as well.

Returning to value capture from narrative trading, this wave of HYPE's rise has quite high quality

Fee income is a better indicator of platform health than TVL; this metric should be given more importance.
