On Dec. 4, crypto exchange OKX announced that it had listed pre-market futures for the HYPE/USDT pair, allowing users to speculate on the altcoin’s price before its listing for spot trading on centralized exchanges. Shortly after its listing, HYPE surged to a high of $19.65 on the pre-market futures platform . However, the altcoin was later trading at $13.70, down 14.38% from its all-time high. Pre-market trading delivery contracts are USDT-margined delivery contracts, typically delivered before the new token launches on the spot trading market. However, in this case, the HYPE token had already undergone its Token Generation Event on Nov. 29. Meanwhile, the HYPE token has already been listed on CoinW, a centralized exchange. Following its inclusion on OKX’s pre-market futures platform, the crypto community is speculating that the altcoin may soon secure spot trading support on OKX, which could potentially lead to further price rallies.
