Big Mistake by BitMEX Founder Arthur Hayes: Lost Millions of Dollars in Ethereum

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes sold 2,373 ETH for approximately $8.32 million a week ago, when the ETH price was around $3,507.

However, according to the latest on-chain data, Hayes removed 10.5 million USDC from his wallet four hours ago to purchase Ethereum. This time, the purchase occurred at an ETH price of $4,225.

Hayes' current asset allocation is as follows:

  • Ethereum (ETH): 4,424 ETH (~$18.7 million)
  • Ether.fi Staked ETH (EETH): 3,097 EETH (~$13.07 million)
  • USDC: $12.43 million
  • Wrapped EETH (WEETH): 1,167 WEETH (~$5.29 million)
  • Pendle (PENDLE): 253,463 PENDLE (~$1.38 million)
  • Wilder World (WILD): 1.96 million WILD (~$925.5k)

The total portfolio value is calculated at approximately $52.19 million.

Had Arthur Hayes not sold the 2,373 ETH, he would have made approximately $1.70 million in additional profit today.

Hayes, founder of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, was linked to numerous scandals during his time as CEO. It was alleged that Hayes instructed investors to โ€œblow up their short positionsโ€ in Discord chats.
