BitMEX Co-Founder Arthur Hayes Moves $11.09M into Ethena, Eyes Big Gains
Meanwhile, a link has already been established between ENA’s bullish momentum and BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes. The renowned investor, known for his sharp market instincts, quietly reshuffled his investment portfolio on November 26.
After months of holding Aethir (ATH) with no tangible returns, Arthur Hayes decided to liquidate the entire holding on the day, making an estimated loss of $815,000.
However, the loss was not going to last as his bold move paid off barely two days after. That is because his ENA investments reportedly show unrealized profits of $1.14 million. This means he has already recovered his losses and may have even additional profits yet to be taken out.
About the connection to the price jump, Hayes’s accumulation in the last few days has undoubtedly impacted ENA price. In a short time, he reportedly withdrew 16.79 million ENA tokens from Binance, investing approximately $11.09 million in the process.
With this capital inflow into the token, it is only understandable how ENA price has continued to climb.
ENA’s Momentum and Future Prospects
Data from CoinGlass shows that open interest in ENA has surged by 23% to $374 million. Meanwhile, total liquidations for ENA hit $1.29 million, with $956,000 attributed to shorts. It might be safe to call a bullish sentiment in the market.
There might be other evidence that suggests that investors are becoming increasingly confident in ENA. That is, as the Ethena blockchain’s total value locked (TVL) surged to $4.09 billion.
For now, analysts will keenly observe the $0.75 support level, which, if held successfully, may help the token to climb further to $1. At the moment, there is high optimism that ENA might revisit its all-time high of $1.50.
As for Hayes, he continues to make a name for himself as one of the most calculative risk-takers. Other than his recent experience with ENA, he also saw similar results with Solana-based meme coins like Goatseus Maximus and FlowerAI (FLOWER).
