Despite the major price drop, this type of movement is considered normal for tokens of this nature. The initial correction has wiped out most early gains, potentially creating a phase where committed long-term investors begin to accumulate holdings. The current price environment is viewed as a critical setup period.
While the decline is critical, it may be establishing the foundation for a major future price surge, provided investor patience holds.
Native Markets Boosts USDH on Hyperliquid with Major HYPE Stake
In the major development, Native Markets has staked an additional 800,000 HYPE tokens. This action has helped the platform to achieve a major milestone by qualifying USDH, a stablecoin, as an Aligned Quote Asset on the platform. The immediate effect of this qualification is a substantial reduction in execution costs for all traders using USDH to trade perpetual contracts.
Native Markets has staked an additional 800K HYPE to qualify USDH as an Aligned Quote Asset, which unlocks execution savings for users.
We’d like to thank @smartestmoney & @HyperionDeFi for contributing stake in order to achieve this milestone.

The change directly lowers both maker and taker fees while simultaneously improving overall capital efficiency for users.
This milestone was made possible through a combined staking effort from Native Markets and other major ecosystem participants, including Smartest Money and Hyperion DeFi.
The market is viewing this coordinated action as a clear signal of growing institutional alignment and support for both the USDH stablecoin and the growth of the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
The direct benefits of this development are lower fees and deeper liquidity for traders.
