Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, acquired 3,000 ETH valued at approximately $5.42 million through Flowdesk's over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk.

The purchase comes as Ethereum experiences strong price gains and increased trading activity. Hayes' wallet activity is closely watched due to his history of large Ethereum bets, highlighting renewed interest in significant on-chain transactions amid market momentum.
