#夏日创作营 Multicoin Capital’s Unstaking of HYPE and Its Impact on HYPE’s Price Trend
On July 21, the well-known crypto investment fund Multicoin Capital unstaked about 1.96 million HYPE (worth about $120 million) from three wallet addresses; these tokens had only been staked for roughly two months.
In the week prior, a wallet associated with a16z also transferred about $28 million worth of HYPE to exchanges, causing the price to drop by about 12% in a single day. Another institution, Selini Capital, also unstaked about 504k HYPE (about $31 million).
Multiple institutions reduced positions in the short term at the same time, with total unstaking amounting to about $150 million.
Market impact
1. Clear downward pressure on price: HYPE fell by about 7.3% over 24 hours, breaking below the $60 level; over the past 7 days, the cumulative drop is about 15%. It is currently consolidating around $58.
2. Weaker technicals: HYPE broke below the support line of a symmetrical triangle and is trading below the 50-day moving average (about $62.7). RSI is around 48, and MACD is negative, with short-term bearish momentum dominating. Key support is in the $54–$55 range; if it breaks, price could further test $48. A rebound would require retaking the $63–$70 range.
3. Continued outflows from ETF funds: HYPE’s spot ETF has seen net outflows for multiple recent days; demand from institutional allocation channels has cooled, further exacerbating selling pressure.
4. Confidence shock: Notably, Multicoin released a valuation report bullish on HYPE on June 25 (bear case $109, base case $319, bull case $689, target year 2028). Less than a month later, it massively unstaked, triggering community doubts about whether its words and actions are consistent; market sentiment has shifted toward caution, even pessimism.
Unstaking ≠ immediate selling, but the signal is strong
Unstaking (unstake) is a necessary step before selling, but it is not the same as selling immediately. After tokens are unstaked, they still need to wait for the redemption period (on-chain, about D+8 days to arrive) before they can be transferred. However, unstaking of this scale itself releases a signal that “large holdings may enter circulation,” and markets often react in advance, leading to preemptive selling and bearish hedging.
Gate Research Institute had already listed HYPE as a key observation target for token unlocks over the next 7 days in an early-July weekly report, noting that if local liquidity cannot absorb supply, high-percentage unlock projects may face more obvious short-term selling pressure. This week’s latest weekly report also states that the market is still in a consolidation phase; over the next 7 days, H and other projects will unlock in a concentrated manner (total about $29.4 million). Projects with high unlock percentages need to remain on alert.

Demand through institutional allocation channels has cooled, further worsening sell pressure.

Unstaking ≠ Immediate Selling, but the signal is strong
Unstaking (unstake) is a necessary step before selling, but it does not equal an immediate sell. After tokens are unstaked, they must wait through a redemption period (on-chain arrival in about D+8 days) before they can move. However, an unstaking of this size itself releases a signal that a large position may be entering circulation; the market often reacts early, leading to preventive selling and short hedging.
Gate Research Institute previously listed HYPE as a key observation target for token unlocks over the next 7 days in an early-July weekly report, warning that if local liquidity is insufficient to absorb supply, projects with high unlock ratios may face more noticeable short-term sell pressure. This week’s latest weekly report also notes that the market is still in a consolidation and range-bound phase; over the next 7 days, H and other projects will be concentrated for unlocks (total about $29.4 million), and projects with high unlock ratios need to remain on guard.
