On September 28, 2025, the Hyperliquid platform gave away the Hypurr NFT collection to early users of the platform. This promotion was part of a program to reward active community members and generated notable interest in the market.
According to OpenSea data, the minimum price of Hypurr tokens amounted to 1,458 HYPE, which is equivalent to approximately $68,700. In just one day, the trading turnover of the collection reached 952,000 HYPE or about $44.6 million at the current exchange rate.
Some deals noticeably exceeded the established threshold. Thus, NFT Hypurr #21 was sold for 9999 HYPE, which corresponded to almost $467,000 at the time of the transaction. In addition, even before the official launch, some tokens were resold on OTC platforms at a price of up to $88,000.
This pre-trade was made possible thanks to the DripTrade platform, which allows you to make deals in advance at a fixed price. Sellers must execute within seven days of receiving the NFT, or else forfeit the deposit made.
The Hypurr collection consists of 4,600 tokens in cartoon cat format with various characteristics. Of these, 4,313 were handed out to attendees of last year’s Genesis event, with the rest distributed among Hyper Foundation, developers, and artists.
The organization stressed that the collection was created as a memento for the community and a symbol of trust from early supporters. Hyper Foundation representatives emphasized that each token is unique and reflects the culture and diversity of Hyperliquid ecosystem members.
Despite the speculative interest and high value, many users on social media have noted the contradiction between the rising price of NFTs and the difficult economic situation.
Earlier, it became known that the CEO of ARK Invest Katie Wood compared the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid with the blockchain Solana at an early stage of development. In an interview with the podcast Master Investor, she noted that the platform can repeat the trajectory of the project, which in a few years turned from a “newcomer” to one of the market leaders.
