Hyperliquid OI Adds $765 Million Ahead of CPI as New Leverage Tilts Toward Crypto and Tech
Open interest on Hyperliquid climbed back to roughly $11.325 billion ahead of the U.S. July CPI release, up about $765 million over four days from around $10.56 billion on Monday, according to TradingBeats, formerly Hyperinsight. Crypto markets accounted for about $583 million of that increase, while HIP-3 markets added about $183 million. Over the past 24 hours, new leverage was concentrated in crypto majors and large-cap tech names. ETH rose 0.7% with OI up about $86.51 million, while BTC slipped 0.5% and still saw OI increase by about $39.52 million, even as their combined trading volume fell about 11%. In equities, PLTR gained just 0.4% but posted a roughly $29.47 million jump in OI, META added 0.9% with OI up about $23.8 million, and GOOGL fell 3.1% while OI still expanded by about $18.12 million. Storage names moved differently. SKHX, MU, and SNDK rose about 5.9%, 1.5%, and 4.5%, respectively, yet their combined OI fell about $45.71 million, with both large long and short positions pulling back. TradingBeats said the figures reflect only observable OI and trackable addresses on Hyperliquid and do not represent full-market positioning.
