Early Hyperliquid User Cashes in on Airdropped Hypurr NFT for $467K
The Big Airdrop Surprise!
So, here’s the scoop: a bunch of early birds on the Hyperliquid blockchain hit the jackpot after the Hyper Foundation sprinkled their love all over the community with a sweet airdrop of the Hypurr NFT collection. Talk about a nice little surprise on a Sunday, right?
What’s the Buzz About Hypurr NFTs?
Currently, these colorful little feline portraits are making waves with a floor price of about 1,458 Hyperliquid (HYPE)—that’s roughly $68,700 if you’re counting! But hold onto your hats, because there’s been some jaw-dropping sales that blew that figure right out of the water.
Cha-Ching! The Big Sale
Meet Hypurr #21! This particular digital cat, boasting the ultra-rare “Knight Ghost Armor” and “Knight Helm Ghost” traits, was sold for a staggering 9,999 HYPE, which translates to about $467,000. Yes, you read that right—nearly half a million bucks for a cartoon kitty!
Community Reactions: A Mixed Bag
In a world where some folks can hardly pay their grocery bills, the crypto community is having a field day. One Twitter user, MoonOverlord, quipped, “CT is really a special place in hell. The average Joe is barely scraping by while others flaunt their $50,000 Hyperliquid cat NFTs they snagged for free.”
Then there’s DidiTrading, who chimed in with: “I got myself an Hypurr NFT valued at $50k. Honestly, I’m not the best at this valuation game, so I’ll let the market do its thing for a bit before making any moves.”
All About the Cats!
The Hypurr NFTs strutted their stuff on the HyperEVM starting September 28, showing off various cartoon cat avatars with quirky characteristics. A total of 4,600 NFTs were born, with the majority (4,313) going to the eager participants of the “Genesis” event back in November 2024—the big launch of that shiny HYPE token! The rest? Just a sprinkle for the Hyper Foundation and the core team.
Why Hypurr?
The mission behind the Hypurr NFT collection? To gift a fun memento to those who jumped on the Hyperliquid train early on. Each NFT is a unique little gem that captures the fun and fabulousness of the Hyperliquid community—celebrating moods, hobbies, and, let’s face it, the quirks that make us all human (or cat?).
Big Numbers in Play
In terms of action, OpenSea data reports that there’s been a whopping 952,000 HYPE swapped around in just 24 hours, clocking in at around $44.6 million at current rates. Now that’s what we call some serious cat cash!
