- HYPE rises as USDGO launches on Hyperliquid, Plume, and Aptos.
- Whale activity and token unlock drive short-term market momentum.
- HYPE’s key support level lies at $28.98, while immediate resistance levels lie at $35.03 and $39.87.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) has seen a notable uptick in its trading performance, driven in part by the announcement that Paxos has selected the platform, alongside Plume and Aptos, as primary launch networks for its USDGO stablecoin.
At press time, the HYPE token was up 3.3% over the past 24 hours, outperforming the overall crypto market’s modest increase of 0.49%.
Paxos rolls out USDGO across key networks
According to a recent press release, Plume, Hyperliquid, and Aptos have been selected as the initial deployment networks for USDGO, reflecting their rapid growth and strategic relevance.
Plume, with over 280,000 active real-world asset holders and $645 million in RWA TVL, serves as a distribution hub for compliant liquidity.
Hyperliquid, on the other hand, will integrate USDGO into its perpetual trading and lending markets, enhancing collateral rails and yield-aligned trading opportunities.
Furthermore, Aptos will become the first network to deploy a Move-native OFT stablecoin, positioning enterprise-focused applications to leverage regulated, high-throughput liquidity.
Paxos’ USDGO stablecoin, an omnichain extension of its regulated USDG, is designed to provide fully backed, compliant liquidity across multiple blockchain networks.
Leveraging LayerZero’s omnichain-fungible token (OFT) standard, USDGO allows seamless cross-chain transfers while maintaining a 1:1 backing with cash, short-term US Treasuries, and cash equivalents.
Notably, the integration of USDGO across these networks is supported by the USDGO Portal, cross-chain APIs, and unified supply mechanics, enabling smooth swaps and reducing the risks associated with fragmented bridge mechanisms.
Early adoption within these specialised domains is expected to set the stage for broader multi-chain growth.
Whale activity and token unlock stir market dynamics
Hyperliquid has also been in the spotlight ahead of a significant HYPE token unlock valued at approximately $314–$316 million, representing about 2.66–3.6% of the total supply.
Scheduled for November 29, the cliff unlock is drawing attention across crypto communities, prompting discussion over potential sell pressure and market impact.

Despite this, whales are accumulating HYPE, which has bolstered investor confidence.
A prominent whale increased a $44.5 million ETH long, reflecting confidence in broader market conditions and the potential for leveraged gains to spill over into HYPE trading volumes.
HYPE price targets and outlook
Technical analysis highlights critical levels that HYPE traders should watch in the coming days.
For HYPE to maintain upward momentum, it must stay above $28.98, with the first major resistance at $35.03.
If HYPE breaks past $35.03, analysts note that it could rise toward $39.87, with a third resistance at $43.82.
Notably, options data suggest limited downside near $28, providing a degree of confidence ahead of the token unlock.
However, a failure to hold the $28.98 support, especially following the upcoming token unlock, may see prices dip to the next key support around $25.85.
