BitMEX’s former CEO and co-founder, Arthur Hayes, has stirred up discussions in the cryptocurrency market by sharing his crypto portfolio for May and explaining his investment strategy. Known for his bold predictions and valuable insights, Hayes provided significant insight into the market outlook and potential opportunities for investors.
Hayes compared the recent fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market to a necessary cleansing, noting that some investors have panicked and completely moved away from the market since the mid-April decline. He anticipated this market crash due to factors such as the U.S. tax season, uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s activities, and the Bitcoin block reward halving. Hayes believes that this phase has driven away a group of investors he refers to as “tourists,” but he expects the real crypto enthusiasts to return when the market recovers.
In his article titled “Mayday,” Hayes emphasized the importance of taking advantage of market opportunities during the summer months. He aims to benefit from the recent market crash by increasing his investments in certain altcoins. Despite the market crash, Hayes maintains his bullish view on key assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, advocating for them to be accumulated as long-term reserve assets. However, he also suggests showing interest in high-beta altcoins, specifically mentioning Solana, dogwifhat, and Dogecoin.
Hayes disclosed that he invested in DOGE and SOL for momentum trading positions, while for the long term, he purchased Pendle. He emphasized the importance of strategic investing and adopting a more passive approach once investment positions are established.
