Despite Unlock Risks, HYPE Token Eyes 126x Rally by 2028, Says Arthur Hayes

[AIcash]

Even with looming token unlocks, Arthur Hayes maintains a bullish long-term outlook for HYPE. He previously projected a 126-fold rally by 2028, driven by macroeconomic factors like fiat debasement and the growth of stablecoin markets.

During the Webx 2025 Conference in Tokyo, Hayes suggested continued DeFi adoption and rising annualized fees could push Hyperliquid’s revenue to $255 billion, up from the current $1.2 billion annualized figure.

This bold prediction comes despite Hayes recently selling all his HYPE holdings, using the proceeds to purchase a Ferrari 849 Testarossa, demonstrating both confidence in the long-term market potential and the short-term liquidity pressures facing the token.
