on-chain data, highlighted by Lookonchain on X, reveals a strategic accumulation by two prominent whale wallets.<\/p>\n<p>On December 22, 2025, Lookonchain noted that the large investors had deposited $5 million in USDC into Hyperliquid to purchase more HYPE tokens.<\/p>\n<p>One of the wallets held 214,497 HYPE, worth over $5.44 million at the time and still boasted $5.52 million, likely ready to pounce.<\/p>\n<p>The other whale held 102,460 HYPE worth $2.61 million and dry powder of $2.45 million meant for future purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Both whales held the money in the USDC stablecoin.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Over the past hour, two more whales deposited $5M USDC into <a

decline of over 14% over the past seven days as it dropped to $22, swiftly reclaimed the $25 threshold.<\/p>\n<p>The rebound could accelerate amid an altcoin bounce, allowing for a retest of the $30 resistance zone.<\/p>\n<p>Whales might offer a formidable bid wall. A surge in buying pressure shows in the 15% spike in daily trading volume.<\/p>\n<h2>Hyperliquid Labs comments on HYPE insider trading<\/h2>\n<p>The HYPE price fell sharply in recent weeks, with allegations of insider trading surfacing.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Hyperliquid has officially commented on the concerns.<\/p>\n<p>In its update, the team categorically denies any misconduct from its members.<\/p>\n<p>Per a statement shared on X, Hyperliquid Labs has clarified that a wallet accused of shorting HYPE belonged to a former employee who was terminated in the first quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperliquid Labs emphasised its stringent ethical standards. It includes a comprehensive trading policy that prohibits derivatives trading involving HYPE by team members and maintains a zero-tolerance stance on insider trading.<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder of Hyperliquid Illiensic posted a similar update on Discord.<\/p>\n<p>While the platform has dismissed the allegations of insider trading as solely the work of an unaffiliated former employee, the co-founder noted two key facts: Employees and the team cannot trade derivatives on the HYPE token or use insider information to trade. The same cannot be passed to third parties.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Markets,Hyperliquid#Hyperliquid #price #reclaims #whales #buy #HYPE1766536790<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyperliquid price gained to above $25 as buyers piled into the HYPE token.
