May 21 – Per HTX market data, HYPE (Hyperliquid’s native token) has climbed back to the $55 threshold after 241 days, hitting a high of $57 and edging toward its all-time peak. A frenzy of on-chain IPO activity for leading AI companies is driving price discovery for perpetual decentralized exchanges (Perp DEXs), with Hyperliquid now boasting a fully diluted valuation (FDV) that has surpassed Solana’s.

The projections offer a glimpse at how quickly this once-lagging AI startup has climbed in the industry—undermining the long-held belief that massive spending by major AI firms derails short-term profitability.

May 21 — per sources familiar with the matter — U.S. President Trump is expected to issue an executive order as early as Thursday aimed at bolstering artificial intelligence cybersecurity, and has invited tech industry leaders to join the signing event. The order Trump is set to sign would revamp the existing cybersecurity information-sharing program to include AI companies, but it will not mandate federal approval for state-of-the-art AI models. Instead, it will call for the government to conduct voluntary testing of advanced AI systems to spot and fix vulnerabilities in federal, state, and local networks, as well as U.S. critical infrastructure, with no need for broad new regulations. Invitations have been extended to several tech executives for Thursday’s White House signing ceremony, though it’s still unclear who will actually attend.
