A crypto whale that had been dormant for more than five months resurfaced, spending approximately $1.73 million to acquire about 69,975 HYPE tokens.
In a separate move, an address with a similar period of inactivity deployed roughly $2.5 million in USDC into HyperLiquid.

That same address had already used about $1.73 million of the funds to purchase the HYPE tokens, and it currently holds approximately $765,600 in USDC, suggesting additional buying could follow.
This burst of activity signals renewed interest from large holders in HyperLiquid and the HYPE ecosystem.
Investors and observers will be watching whether further purchases materialize, potentially indicating a shift in demand for the token and the platform.
