Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has sold his entire holdings in Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Near (NEAR) due to concerns over rising energy costs, geopolitical risks, and anticipated competition from large AI IPOs. He expects the market to peak between now and September, prompting profit-taking amid a challenging crypto environment and capital rotation toward AI stocks. Hayes plans to explain his reasoning in more detail in an upcoming essay titled “Reality Test.” Despite his sale, Hyperliquid continues to show strong trading volume and institutional interest, though broader market conditions remain difficult.
