Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE has been one of the strongest performers of the year, and new catalysts could extend the rally.
Paxos announced plans to launch USDH, a regulatory-compliant stablecoin for Hyperliquid, with 95% of the interest generated on reserves earmarked for HYPE buybacks. The design links stablecoin adoption directly to token demand, reinforcing scarcity as the user base expands.
Previous stablecoin integrations in other ecosystems have boosted liquidity by as much as 30%. With Paxos bringing its network of more than 70 institutional partners, Hyperliquid could see a similar inflow.
Looking Beyond HYPE: Zexpire’s Early Bet on Options
HYPE’s rise underscores how quickly tokens can reprice when they sit at the center of a growing market. A new project, Zexpire, is aiming to capture a similar dynamic in a different corner of crypto — options trading.
Zexpire is the first 0DTE DeFi protocol, reducing options trading to a one-click daily prediction: whether Bitcoin will stay in range or break out. The model removes margin calls and liquidations, making it accessible to retail users who would otherwise avoid derivatives.
First-Mover Advantage
Just as HYPE rode the derivatives boom, $ZX can ride the trend of gamified options — a market that combines elements of prediction markets and DeFi trading, both of which have seen rapid growth. With its presale underway, Zexpire offers early participants a chance to secure exposure before the platform scales.
HYPE Price Analysis and Outlook
Source: coinmarketcap
Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE is trading at $55.30, firmly above its 7-day SMA ($49.31) and 30-day SMA ($45.93), underscoring a strong short-term uptrend. The asset continues to build on bullish momentum, but technicals show signs of overheating.
The RSI-7 is at 81.45, firmly in the overbought territory, so there is an elevated risk of a near-term pullback. At the same time, the MACD histogram at 0.966 confirms bullish momentum, signaling trend strength remains intact.
The setup for HYPE remains constructively bullish, with clear upside potential if momentum carries the price through $56.01 and on to $60.25. However, the overbought RSI points to a possible cooling-off period in the short term, especially if profit-taking emerges after the recent rally.
If pullbacks hold above $52.34, the trend remains intact, and HYPE could see further gains in the medium term.
ZX Token Price Analysis and Outlook
ZEXPIRE’s native token, ZX, is currently in presale at $0.003, the lowest tier in a 200-round structure. Each round increases by 1.07%, bringing the final presale price to roughly $0.025 before the token lists in 2026.
At listing, all presale tokens will have been auto-staked, earning up to 15% APR, with a six-month lock and gradual release afterward to support market stability.
The presale design creates a clear tiered revaluation path:
For example, a $1,000 allocation at the initial stage secures 333,333 ZX tokens. At the final presale price ($0.025), that same allocation would require more than $8,000.
This built-in gradient effectively rewards early buyers with exposure at a fraction of the later entry cost.
ZX’s tokenomics reinforce this framework. Out of a fixed supply of 5 billion tokens, 20% is allocated to the presale and 25% to staking and rewards.

A buyback-and-burn mechanism is scheduled for activation after launch, directly linking platform activity to supply reduction over time. With trading tickets denominated in ZX, usage of the protocol translates into ongoing demand for the token.
Conclusion
Hyperliquid’s HYPE shows how quickly tokens can reprice when they sit at the center of real market activity. The Paxos-backed stablecoin tie-in gives HYPE a structural demand engine that could continue to support its rally, even after an extended run-up.
ZEXPIRE, by contrast, is still at the presale stage, but its design echoes the same principle: link core protocol usage directly to token value. Whether ZEXPIRE can replicate even part of HYPE’s trajectory will depend on execution, adoption, and the appetite for on-chain volatility trading.
