Fed Minutes, $1.11B Token Unlock and HYPE Buyback Set the Pre-Market Agenda

  • —Fed minutes due October 7; market prices out an October rate hike
  • —Bitcoin trades above $86,000 but has twice been rejected near $87,000
  • —About $1.11 billion in token unlocks this week, $340 million of it HYPE
  • —Hyperliquid received a first USDC tranche of roughly $15 million for HYPE buybacks
Why it matters: The HYPE unlock is about 20 times the size of the buyback, a supply imbalance that will outlast the Fed minutes.
