Hyperliquid (HYPE) advanced to a fresh intraday peak of $84.80 on Thursday, marking a second all-time high within a week, and traded near $84.07 as its market capitalization approached $19 billion.

The surge followed a breakout past $77, and is linked to the AQAv2 reserve yield program directing about 90% of cost-adjusted yield generated from $6.74 billion of USDC deposits back into HYPE buybacks, BeInCrypto reported, with the first distributions slated for Oct. 3.

Separately, President Donald Trump said on Aug. 20 that Hyperliquid could be available in the United States soon, with the CFTC working on a compliant pathway. Spot HYPE ETFs also saw renewed inflows, and traders monitor $92.37 as the next resistance and $68 as a key support.

The company guided Q3 revenue to $108 billion, ahead of consensus, while gross margin was projected at 74%, a sequential decline driven by higher memory, financing and infrastructure costs. CEO Jensen Huang described AI as reaching an inflection point and cited ongoing constraints in power, land and data-center capacity as potential headwinds.

In crypto terms, Bitcoin traded near $79,400 as ETF inflows and treasury dynamics shaped momentum. Eight consecutive days of ETF inflows have totaled about $2.8 billion, with August already the strongest inflow month of 2026. The technical ceiling remains near the 50-week moving average at about $81,085, and a break above the May high near $82,820 would reopen a path toward $100,000.

Market breadth showed mixed signals: Solana rose about 4% to around $101, with XRP down roughly 3% to about $1.42 amid shifting rate-hike expectations. Open interest trends suggested short-covering activity rather than new buying, while ETF inflows continued to provide genuine demand. Nvidia’s after-hours gain helped lift Asian chip shares, though Bitcoin’s reaction remained subdued, consistent with a decoupling between AI momentum and the crypto rally driven by flows and Treasuries dynamics.

Eight straight days of ETF inflows have pushed Bitcoin and Ether-related funds higher, with Ether ETFs also surpassing $1 billion in the same streak. August inflows have now exceeded $3 billion, marking the strongest month of 2026 and roughly double what occurred in April. IBIT accounted for about 62% of Monday’s inflows. Net ETF inflows for 2026 remain negative by roughly $2.5 billion, meaning August has recouped a sizable portion of outflows seen earlier in the year. The ongoing streak could extend through Jackson Hole or stall there, depending on policy cues.

Gold advanced in Asia as the dollar weakened, with ANZ Research noting that the weaker dollar supports bullion despite persistent inflation pressures and rate-hike expectations. The market views gold as a scarcity play in a higher-rate environment, contributing to a broader debate about monetary policy and inflation hedging. Some analysts highlighted Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech as a key test for expectations around policy normalization and the potential implications for crypto and alternative assets. The evolving relationship between gold and Bitcoin continues to inform institutional sentiment about Bitcoin’s role as a potential hedging asset.

According to Jin10, the European Central Bank indicated that the path for future oil and natural gas prices remains exposed to elevated risks driven by geopolitical developments in the Middle East, Ukraine, and Russia.

It noted that current oil prices sit well below peak levels seen recently, while futures curves have softened; nevertheless, prices stay well above prewar levels over the forecast horizon and upside risks persist.

The report added that declines in oil prices have not yet softened the medium-term inflation trajectory suggested by market pricing, with inflation expectations remaining anchored.

The ECB emphasized its commitment to its price-stability mandate and said it will act in a timely manner to reach its 2% inflation target over the medium term.
