Hyperliquid slides 6.8 percent before the unlock, and only 180,000 HYPE go to the team

Hyperliquid is losing ground sharply on Thursday, a day before the core team receives 180,000 HYPE from vesting. What is confirmed: according to CoinGecko, the price fell 6.8 percent in 24 hours to $80.62 (as of November 5, 2026, 3:50 p.m. German time), and on Friday, November 6, the core contributors will receive far fewer tokens than the published vesting schedule listed for that date. Our assessment follows further down: the payout itself is too small to explain the daily loss.
