Binance Sets Withdrawal Deadline for Hyperliquid as HYPE Holders Cry Foul

Binance has set a deadline for the last holdouts. The exchange said withdrawals for Hyperliquid (HYPE), Litecoin (LTC), Injective (INJ), Aptos (APT), Plasma (PLASMA) and NEAR Protocol (NEAR) will be back by the end of next week.

That would close a messy chapter that started with a $6 billion attack. Since then, Binance has been flipping withdrawal services back on in batches, and it has already restored dozens of tokens over the past week.

One name keeps sitting on the bench. Hyperliquid is the only top-10 cryptocurrency by market cap that still hasn't had withdrawals re-enabled, according to u.today, and HYPE holders are not being quiet about it.

Their frustration has curdled into something sharper. Holders have been tagging Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao over what they call unfair treatment, and the fresh deadline only turned up the volume instead of calming anyone down.

The big question they keep asking: why HYPE? Hyperliquid wasn't hit by the attack, they argue, so there's no obvious reason it stayed locked while other coins came back online.

From there, the accusations get heavier. Some holders want Binance to spell out why HYPE was skipped in earlier rounds, and critics have floated the idea that the exchange is deliberately trying to slow Hyperliquid's rise in the decentralized derivatives market. Binance hasn't answered those claims publicly.
