Decentralized exchange Hyperliquid<\/a>\u2019s Hypurr non-fungible token (NFT) collection is changing hands at around $55,000 on Monday, Sept. 29, just one day after its deployment on HyperEVM<\/a>, the ecosystem\u2019s Layer 1 (L1) blockchain.<\/p>\n The 4,600 NFT collection currently has a floor price of 1,250 HYPE ($55,000), with the top offer at 1,161 HYPE ($52,000). Meanwhile, its total 24-hour volume has reached 1.5 million HYPE, or roughly $70 million. HYPE is currently trading at $46.94, up 6.3% on the day, according to CoinGecko. <\/p>\n About 11% of the collection is listed, with 3,955 unique owners representing roughly 86% of the total supply, according to OpenSea data<\/a>. Of the 4,600 NFTs in the collection, 4,313 were allocated to Genesis Event participants, 144 to the Hyper Foundation, and 143 to core contributors, including Hyperliquid Labs and NFT artists.<\/p>\n However, shortly after the airdrop, a threat actor reportedly stole eight Hypurr NFTs from compromised wallets, profiting approximately $400,000, according to blockchain analyst ZachXBT, who shared the news on Telegram. Despite this, enthusiasm around the NFT collection remains strong. <\/p>\n Even before their official launch, Hypurr NFTs drew strong interest, trading on OTC markets for $30,000 to $60,000 throughout much of 2025. By Sept. 19, demand had pushed the floor price to $100,000 on DripTrade, a Hyperliquid-based NFT platform, The Defiant reported<\/a> at the time. <\/p>\n The Hypurr NFT launch underscores Hyperliquid\u2019s efforts to reward its early supporters, strengthen community engagement, and expand its ecosystem through new features. <\/p>\n \u201cThe goal of the Hypurr NFT collection was to share a memento with those who believed in and contributed early on to Hyperliquid\u2019s growth,\u201d the Hyper Foundation posted<\/a> on X. \u201cEach NFT is unique and captures the different moods, hobbies, tastes, and quirks of the Hyperliquid community, as depicted by Hypurr.\u201d<\/p>\n Hyperliquid currently has a total value locked (TVL) of $5.86 billion, per DeFiLlama<\/a>. Meanwhile, the Hyperliquid L1 boasts a TVL of $2.2 billion. <\/p>\n The Hypurr NFT launch coincides with Hyperliquid\u2019s ongoing ecosystem expansion. Most recently, the project rolled out its native stablecoin USDH through Native Markets<\/a>, following its successful bid to develop the asset.<\/p>\n Currently, USDH, which is Hyperliquid’s first dollar-pegged asset, has a market capitalization of $1.44 million. <\/p>\nOngoing Expansion<\/h2>\n
