Crypto Price Forecast: Ripple, Hyperliquid & Bitcoin Set for Major Moves - American Wrap 27 August

Crypto markets brace for volatility as three major players show divergent patterns.

Ripple's Legal Clarity Fuels Momentum

XRP breaks formation as regulatory clouds part—institutional money floods back into the ecosystem after years of uncertainty.

Hyperliquid's DeFi Surge Defies Expectations

The perpetual swaps platform outpaces traditional derivatives venues—traders flock to its low-fee structure while Wall Street still figures out how to pronounce 'decentralized exchange'.

Bitcoin Holds the Line

King crypto maintains its throne as macro hedge—mining difficulty adjusts while ETF flows tell two different stories depending which financial media outlet you watch.

Traditional finance scrambles to keep up—some things never change.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) price remains NEAR the token's record high of $51.50, reached on Wednesday, supported by growing retail interest and speculative demand. Up over 2%, HYPE exchanges hands in a narrow range of $49.00 to $50.00 at the time of writing. 

Metaplanet, one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin (BTC), plans to raise additional funds to purchase BTC for its steadily growing treasury. The company announced in a press release on Wednesday that the purchase is expected to take place between September and October.
