HYPE has solid tech and runs a competitive perps platform, but the current setup doesn't make it an attractive entry point. Year-to-date performance has lagged the broader market pretty significantly—token unlocks, whale distribution pressure, and lingering uncertainty around tokenomics are weighing it down. That said, don't count it out. Once these headwinds clear and liquidity settles, the platform fundamentals could drive a strong rebound.

Wait, so entering now is just giving away money? Let's wait and see this wave of unlocking pass first.

The technical aspect is indeed good, but the unlocking pressure is really intense. I'm still waiting for the moment when the storm eye appears. --- On-chain data shows whale addresses are dispersing their positions. Is it too early to go all-in at this point? --- Perps platform is well done, but whether the tokenomics issue can be resolved remains a question. --- Since the beginning of the year, it has underperformed the market so much. When will it turn around? --- The fundamentals are fine, but I'm worried that liquidity might not stabilize before being cut. --- I bet this thing will rise in a month, but for now? Still watching... --- The wave of unlocking plus whale selling pressure—this combo is really tough. Let's wait until the storm passes.

Wait, wait, wait, are you saying that entering the market now is just being the bag holder? The unlocking wave hasn't fully passed yet... We'll have to wait until the whales finish selling their holdings.

Hmm, the technology is good, but is now the right time to enter? Or should I wait a bit longer? The unlocking pressure is too high.
