Wall Street investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald recently released a 62-page in-depth research report, providing a rare high-level valuation analysis of the decentralized perpetual contract platform Hyperliquid. The report predicts that the HYPE token could reach a potential market cap of $200 billion within the next 10 years.

The report assumes that Hyperliquid can achieve approximately $5 billion in annual revenue at a mature stage and applies a 50x price-to-earnings ratio, deriving a long-term valuation target of $200 billion. Analysts explicitly state that Hyperliquid is closer to an on-chain version of a global derivatives exchange rather than an ordinary DeFi protocol.

After stablecoin giant Circle announced the acquisition of Interop Labs, the Axelar ecosystem native token AXL quickly faced downward pressure. Data shows that following the announcement, AXL dropped approximately 13% to 15% on Tuesday, becoming a focal point of market attention.

However, as market liquidity continued to shrink and sentiment cooled, these narrative-dependent assets gradually lost support and were eventually forced to exit at very low prices.
