HYPE holders and traders see a larger amount of tokens moving through buybacks, burns, and OTC distribution than before, with 1.25 million tokens later returning to staking after the 3.75 million-token transfer. The market also noticed HYPE near $87 after the distribution, so the next session starts with those transfers already reflected in the token’s setup.
