Arthur Hayes springt auf den Zug auf: Neue ETH- und DeFi-Token-Positionen im Marktrally

BitMEX-Gründer Arthur Hayes zeigt wieder einmal, warum er als Krypto-Prophet gilt. Inmitten des aktuellen Marktrallys hat er kräftig in ETH und DeFi-Token investiert. Ein klares Signal – oder nur ein weiterer Schachzug im Spiel der Whales?

Seine Strategie: Hayes setzt auf die wachsende Dominanz von Ethereum im DeFi-Bereich. Während traditionelle Finanzinstitute noch über Regulierungen stolpern, baut er sein Portfolio aus. Typisch Hayes – immer einen Schritt voraus.

Die Botschaft ist klar: Wer im Krypto-Spiel mitspielen will, muss jetzt handeln. Oder wie Hayes wohl sagen würde: 'Die Zentralbanken drucken, wir kaufen.' Ein bisschen Zynismus gehört schließlich dazu.

Arthur Hayes loads up on ETH, LDO, ETHFI

As per on-chain data, Arthur Hayes scooped 1,500 ETH at an average $4,233 ($6.35 million). His latest accumulation included 425K Lido DAO (LDO) ($557K), 420K ETHFI ($517K), and a combined $1.53 million in Pendle (PENDLE) across two tranches.

Hayes’ return to the market is contrary to his past crypto trades and shows a sharp pivot from last week. Last week, he sold 2,373 ETH worth $8.32 million at around $3,507, warning that macro headwinds could drag ETH to $3,000. However, he also exited other positions, unloading $4.62 million in Ethena and $414K in Pepe. Later, he moved out 10.5 million USDC to buy back ETH.

The Maelstrom’s CIO returned to buying Ether at nearly 20% higher prices. Ethereum is running high on the bullish momentum, outperforming Bitcoin. ETH price surged by 42% over the last 30 days, keeping altcoin season hopes alive. Ethereum is trading at an average price of $4,235 at press time.

Other Ethereum ecosystem tokens, such as Ethena’s price spiked by 30% over the last 7 days. ENA is trading at an average price of $0.807 at press time. Lido DAO posted a massive jump of 55% in the same period. LDO is trading at an average price of $1.43.

97% of ETH holders are in profit

This is not just a sway that has renewed Hayes’s conviction in the biggest altcoin. It aligns with a broader wave of institutional ETH accumulation. Data shows that an unidentified whale has grabbed 221,166 ETH ($946 million) in the past week via Galaxy Digital, FalconX, and BitGo.

Public companies are also joining the moment. BitMine Immersion Technologies now holds 833,137 ETH ($3 billion), SharpLink Gaming controls 521,900 ETH, and is raising $200M to buy more.

As of now, 17 public companies hold 1.74 million ETH valued at nearly $6.9 billion. The wave of demand is also evident in ETFs. US spot Ethereum funds saw $461 million in net inflows on Friday, beating Bitcoin ETFs’ $403 million. BlackRock’s ETHA ETF alone took in over $245 million. ETH ETFs have now posted four consecutive days of inflow, 13 weeks of continuous inflow and 4 months of printing green indexes.

Sentora mentioned that 97% of the Ethereum addresses are currently in profit. DeFiLlama data shows that Ether’s total value locked (TVL) is up by almost 30% over the last month to stand at $91.99 billion. Meanwhile, its market cap has hit $510 billion.
