Spot Hyperliquid exchange-traded funds attracted their largest daily inflows on Wednesday as institutional investors continued increasing exposure to HYPE-related products. Analysts also pointed to growing confidence in decentralized trading platforms and revenue-generating blockchain networks. 
<a href="https://farside.co.uk/hyp/#google_vignette" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Data from Farside</a> showed that spot HYPE ETFs recorded $25.5 million in net inflows on Wednesday. The figure rose from $11 million on Tuesday and $4.4 million on Monday, bringing total inflows to $54 million within seven trading days since launch. 
The 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF (THYP) led the inflow with $16.7 million. The fund had previously attracted $5.3 million one day earlier. Meanwhile, the Bitwise Hyperliquid ETF (BHYP) brought in $8.8 million in fresh capital, compared with $5.7 million on Tuesday. 
Peter Chung, head of research at Presto Research, said institutions are accumulating HYPE ETFs faster than Bitcoin ETFs on a market-cap-adjusted basis. According to Chung, the inflows show that major investors are actively positioning themselves around blockchain infrastructure tied to decentralized finance. 
HYPE also recorded strong market gains during the ETF inflow streak. The token climbed 17.3% within 24 hours and traded near $55.91 late Thursday. Moreover, Hyperliquid’s fully diluted valuation briefly surpassed Solana earlier in the day, reaching approximately $54.7 billion.

Tim Sun, senior researcher at HashKey Group, explained that continued ETF inflows suggest investors increasingly view <a href="https://36crypto.com/centralized-vs-decentralized-cryptocurrency-exchanges/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">decentralized exchanges</a> as part of the next financial infrastructure cycle. Besides, Hyperliquid continues strengthening its position within onchain perpetual futures and derivatives trading. 
Network data showed Hyperliquid generated roughly 42% of all blockchain fees this week. In comparison, Tron produced 22.6%, while Ethereum and Solana recorded smaller shares. 
Dominick John, analyst at Zeus Research, stated that <a href="https://36crypto.com/hyperliquid-sees-111-futures-surge-as-price-tests-crucial-support-zone/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">HYPE</a> gives investors a simpler entry into blockchain infrastructure tied directly to network activity and trading revenue. Consequently, analysts believe the token appeals to institutions searching for crypto assets with measurable usage metrics. 
Jeff Ko, chief analyst at CoinEx, also explained that HYPE differs structurally from Bitcoin and Ethereum. He noted that Bitcoin mainly functions as a store of value, while Ethereum often centers around staking income. However, HYPE operates more like an exchange business because the platform directs trading fees toward open-market token buybacks.
