Hyperliquid (HYPE) has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies of 2026, registering gains even when the market was down. CoinGecko data shows that HYPE’s price has rallied by 60% over the last month. The asset climbed to a new all-time high of $86.71 on August 27, 2026. Let’s discuss why Hyperliquid could top the cryptocurrency charts in 2026 with talks about a US launch.
Will Hyperliquid Hit $100 After US Launch?
President Donald Trump hosted a cryptocurrency event at the White House late last month. During the event, Trump stated that Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Michael S. Selig was working on launching the Hyperliquid exchange for US customers. The move led to massive surge in confidence. HYPE hit a new peak soon after.
The Hyperliquid exchange saw a spike in users earlier this year, especially during the early days of the US-Iran war. Traders flocked to the platform to trade oil futures. Unlike other exchanges that remain closed for a certain period of the day, Hyperliquid was open 24/7. This made the exchange very attractive to traders who were betting on oil prices during the closure of the Strait Of Hormuz. Fee collection went up. The exchange uses its fee to buy back HYPE tokens. Increased buy backs led to a massive price surge for the exchange’s native token.
If the Hyperliquid exchange is launched in the US, the platform will likely see another surge in users. Fee collection will likely go up, and HYPE’s price may see another upward push. HYPE could potentially even breach the $100 mark under such circumstances.

Moreover, many analysts anticipate the cryptocurrency market to rebound by the end of this year. Bernstein anticipates Bitcoin (BTC) to reclaim the $100,000 mark by 2026 end. BTC hitting $100,000 will likely trigger another bull run. Hyperliquid (HYPE) may see a massive price surge if BTC’s begins to rally.
