Hypurr NFTs from Hyperliquid: Cat Airdrop with a Price Tag of Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars

Early adopters of the Hyperliquid blockchain received a gift over the weekend — Hypurr NFTs, which instantly became a sensation. The collection of 4,600 tokens was distributed among participants of last year’s Genesis event and the project team. Each Hypurr is a unique cartoon cat with different character traits, style, and moods that reflect the spirit of the Hyperliquid community.

Sales for tens and hundreds of thousands

Despite the free distribution, the market price of the collection has exploded. On OpenSea, the floor is held at 1,458 HYPE (≈$68.7K). But the record was set by Hypurr #21 with the rare “Knight Ghost Armor” and “Knight Helm Ghost”, which sold for 9,999 HYPE ($467k).

Even before the launch, demand was crazy: through the OTC platform DripTrade, some Hypurrs were selling for $88k, negotiating deals even before receiving the tokens themselves.

$44.6m in turnover in the first day

According to OpenSea, in just 24 hours of trading, Hypurr NFTs changed hands for 952,000 HYPE, which is about $44.6m. Social media noted the contrast between the value of “digital cats” and the reality of the global cost of living crisis.

One trader wrote: “I received a Hypurr NFT valued at $50k. I’ll give the market time to find a balance before I decide what to do next.”

Will Hypurr become a new trend?

The Hyper Foundation said that Hypurr’s goal is to thank those who supported the ecosystem at its launch. But the success of the first trades takes the story far beyond a “memorable souvenir.”

With the insane liquidity, Hypurr could become not just a symbol of early faith in Hyperliquid, but also one of the most valuable NFT drops of the year.
