ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has likened Hyperliquid's development to the early days of Solana, highlighting its impressive $2 trillion trading volume. This comparison has piqued institutional interest in Hyperliquid's HYPE token, although Wood confirmed that ARK Invest has not yet made any investments. VanEck's Jan van Eck also commended Hyperliquid's technology and governance, but no public investments have been announced.
