  3. Wintermute Captures 76% of Hyperliquid Priority Data Auctions — this brief

Crypto Daily reports that Wintermute accounted for 76% of Hyperliquid’s priority data auctions, describing the firm as dominant in the platform’s speed-auction market. The report did not provide a breakdown of auction volume, time periods, or other participants, so the 76% share is the only reported measure of Wintermute’s position. The article says HYPE rebounded to roughly $68 but continued to trade below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. It also highlighted the $60 area as an important support level, framing that marker as relevant to how the token’s recent weakness may develop. These levels and the support reference come from Crypto Daily’s coverage and are not independently confirmed in the supplied material. Live market data places HYPE at $67.36, with a 24-hour gain of 0.29% and a seven-day decline of 12.89%. Its market capitalization is $16.01 billion. DeFiLlama’s verified figure shows Hyperliquid’s total value locked at $1.65 billion, representing a 7.4% decrease over seven days, adding a network-level measure of weakness to the token’s price performance.

market breadth was subdued during the same period. The total crypto market capitalization was $2.26 trillion, Bitcoin fell 1.68% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index stood at 10, categorized as Extreme Fear. The combination of concentrated auction participation, declining Hyperliquid TVL, and broad market caution makes the auction share and the $60 support level the principal elements to monitor.
