James Wynn stated, "ASTER is rapidly rising and squeezing Hyperliquid's market share. I don't see this train slowing down, and with the token unlock of HYPE in November, I believe it is unfavourable information for HYPE holders, so I chose shorting." Previously, market analysis indicated that starting from November 29, 2025, 237.8 million HYPE tokens will begin to unlock linearly over 24 months.
