Arthur Hayes Bags Another $1M in ENA Tokens as Flag Indicates 42% Upside

Key Notes

  • Arthur Hayes scooped up $1M worth of ENA in just 7 hours, adding to his ETH ecosystem portfolio.
  • A mysterious wallet withdrew 1.23B ENA ($567M) from Coinbase Prime, becoming the fourth-largest holder.
  • ENA’s 1H chart shows a bull flag, signaling a potential 42% breakout toward $0.70+.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is back at it, adding another $1 million worth of Ethena ENA $0.60 24h volatility: 26.6% Market cap: $3.81 B Vol. 24h: $2.89 B to his crypto bag, alongside a massive 15% price surge in the past 24 hours. The trading volume of the altcoin also shot past the $1 billion mark, up around 30%.

A Broader Play by Hayes

According to on-chain analyst EmberCN, Hayes funneled the capital through three different channels, Binance, Galaxy Digital, and Flowdesk, to scoop up a combined 2.16 million ENA tokens in seven hours.

The ENA purchase is the continuation of a broader play by Hayes, who’s been focused on Ethereum and its surrounding ecosystem. Since mid-July, he has shelled out over $12.5 million across ETH, ENA, AAVE, LDO, ETHFI, and even PEPE meme token.

Hayes’ average buy-in for ENA stands at $0.386. With ENA now trading around $0.493, Hayes is already sitting on comfortable unrealized profits.

USDe and Whale Wallets Fuel Rally

USDe, the flagship product of the Ethena ecosystem, has raked in a massive $2 billion in just one week, as highlighted by Axel Bitblaze, a prominent analyst in the digital currency space.

The main reason for this surge in USDe is the 10% APY offered by the synthetic dollar stablecoin. Axel noted that crypto market participants are “looping DeFi left and right to farm that yield,” adding that this demand “keeps feeding into ENA.”

Further, a fresh wallet, now the fourth-largest ENA holder, quietly pulled 1.23 billion ENA worth $567 million from Coinbase Prime. This sparked bullish conversations in the digital asset space, contributing to ENA’s 10% surge in the past 24 hours and 20% surge on July 24.

ENA Price Analysis: Breakout from Flag

The 1-hour chart below shows a clear bull flag formation following a steep vertical rally. Price has been consolidating in a downward-sloping channel, but recent candles are knocking right on the door of resistance.

If the breakout confirms, the flagpole’s height implies a potential 42% move, pushing ENA toward the $0.70–$0.72 range.

Moreover, the RSI is at 54.77, neutral, but with room to run. The MACD just flashed a bullish crossover, and the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) remains in positive territory at 0.05, suggesting steady inflows.

Finally, the Accumulation/Distribution line is climbing, confirming that large players are stacking rather than selling, making ENA one of the best crypto to buy.
