HYPE token gained 7% over 24 hours following the launch of a synthetic SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual contract on Hyperliquid, valuing the private aerospace company at $1.78 trillion.
Hyperliquid’s native HYPE token rallied 7% over the past 24 hours as Trade.xyz launched the first pre-IPO perpetual market on the decentralized exchange, offering traders synthetic exposure to SpaceX at a reference valuation of $1.78 trillion. The gain outpaced bitcoin’s recent decline, signaling renewed investor interest in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
The pre-IPO perpetual contract enables traders to take long or short positions on SpaceX through a derivatives instrument before any potential public offering. Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetuals trading platform, has expanded its offerings beyond traditional cryptocurrency and digital assets to include synthetic exposure to private company valuations.
This development reflects growing demand within DeFi for exposure to private market assets ahead of potential IPOs, a trend that tokenization protocols have increasingly capitalized on over the past year.
