- Michael van de Poppe said Hyperliquid’s HYPE token reached a new all‑time high after two U.S. HYPE ETFs launched.
- Michael van de Poppe noted European traders are shifting to Hyperliquid because regulated venues limit access to perpetual futures.
- Michael van de Poppe projected HYPE could climb above $100 if crypto market risk appetite continues to strengthen.
- Michael van de Poppe argued AI‑linked crypto projects like NEAR and Bittensor are undervalued compared with traditional AI firms, with NEAR’s revenue forecast rising from $10 M in 2025 to $100 M this year.
- Michael van de Poppe warned that fully anonymous privacy coins face regulatory headwinds, suggesting zero‑knowledge proof and permissioned privacy models as more viable for institutions.
Why it matters: Crypto investors would capture outsized gains if HYPE reaches $100, while regulators are likely to clamp down on fully anonymous privacy coins, pushing institutions toward compliant zero‑knowledge solutions and reshaping tokenization markets.
