HYPE Beats Bitcoin by 200% on Buybacks, DWF Labs Finds, Yet Sheds $1.85B in a Week

Three Things to Know A new DWF Labs study finds most tokens with buyback programs beat Bitcoin this year, and HYPE led the pack. HYPE has slipped under its 50-day average, and momentum gauges still favor sellers. The support zone resting just above the 200-day average now decides whether the long uptrend survives. Hyperliquid's token tops a new ranking of crypto buyback programs. DWF Labs found that nearly every token returning value to holders outperformed Bitcoin in 2026, with HYPE far ahead of the field. The win comes with a catch. Last week's selloff erased more market value than the protocol has spent buying its own token, and ETF money flowed out. Traders now want to know whether steady buybacks can hold the long-term trend in place.
