Hyperliquid and AI Tokens Could Lead the Next Altcoin Rally

Growing momentum in the crypto market is bringing attention back to high-risk altcoins, with Hyperliquid and artificial intelligence linked tokens emerging as potential leaders of the next rally. Market analyst Michael van de Poppe believes stronger risk appetite is returning as traders move toward projects showing real growth and revenue.

Hyperliquid Gains Strength as HYPE Hits Record High

Hyperliquid has recently outperformed much of the broader crypto market. Its native HYPE token reached a new all-time high following the launch of two HYPE exchange-traded funds in the United States.

European traders are increasingly turning to Hyperliquid because access to perpetual futures trading remains limited on many regulated platforms across Europe.

HYPE could potentially rise above $100 if market confidence continues improving, though competition may eventually challenge its dominance.

AI Crypto Tokens Regain Investor Interest

Van de Poppe also highlighted AI-focused crypto projects as undervalued compared with traditional artificial intelligence companies.

NEAR and Bittensor Seen as Strong AI Plays

He named NEAR and Bittensor among the strongest projects tied to AI infrastructure. According to him, AI crypto valuations remain relatively low despite continued ecosystem growth, while traditional AI companies have become increasingly expensive. He added that privacy focused blockchain technology and central bank policy will remain key themes influencing the crypto market ahead.
