Hyperliquid Burned $2 Billion in Tokens as Motley Fool Flags Quantum Risks for Next Crypto Rally

Summary
Hyperliquid, Lighter and Bittensor could lead the next crypto bull market because they channel platform revenue into token buybacks and burns, a shift Motley Fool says ties coin value more directly to cash flow.
Hyperliquid has bought back more than $2 billion of HYPE since launch, removing 4.7% of maximum supply, while Lighter says 6.3% of LIT is already gone under a similar model.
That approach contrasts with older majors such as Ethereum, Solana and XRP, where fee generation has often failed to translate into holder returns; Ethereum holders are still down 8% over five years.
Bitcoin also faces a new overhang from quantum computing: BIP-360, accepted in February 2026, sketches a quantum-resistance plan, but delayed security upgrades could weigh on prices across major chains.
Tokenized real-world assets and financial privacy are seen as the next cycle's bigger themes, while meme coins may resurface again and weaker areas like DePIN and social finance are unlikely to fully recover.
