Original Title: "Arthur Hayes' Mouth, a Deceptive Ghost: He is Both Promoting and Dumping"
Original Author: Azuma, Odaily Planet Daily
BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes seems to have recently "fallen in love" with Hyperliquid (HYPE).
· On May 23, Arthur Hayes posted on X that his target in this bull market might be for "HYPE's market cap to surpass SOL."
· On June 9, taking advantage of Binance.US's post on X to educate about Hyperliquid, Arthur Hayes again inquired about CZ Binance's plans to list HYPE spot trading, stating: "Does this mean Binance is about to list HYPE spot?"
· On June 11, Arthur Hayes updated X again, asking the community whether they think "Hyperliquid's trading volume will surpass Binance in this bull market?"
With such high-frequency "promotion," does Arthur Hayes really believe in HYPE's upward potential? The reality may not be so simple.
· On June 12, just one day after Arthur Hayes promoted HYPE, Hyperliquid community member @obese.potato.pip discovered some interesting movements on-chain—Arthur Hayes seems to be selling HYPE.
According to @obese.potato.pip's monitoring, an address suspected to belong to Arthur Hayes transferred multiple batches of HYPE yesterday, including transferring 73,000 HYPE (about $3 million) to Flowdesk, 40,000 HYPE (about $1.64 million) to Wintermute, 53,000 HYPE (about $2.2 million) to Galaxy, and 55,000 HYPE (about $2.3 million) to Gate. Through on-chain data tracing, we identified the following address: 0xc32235231d29831a2cb2a11e3f9c7f38160fc1dd.
Although mainstream explorers like Etherscan have not marked this address, searching for it on the X platform reveals many associations with Arthur Hayes, providing reason to suspect that this address belongs to him.
Promoting while dumping… While it sounds a bit "shameless," this is not the first time Arthur Hayes has done this. On December 21 last year, Arthur Hayes posted on X promoting Ethena (ENA), stating: "If a DeFi protocol has not integrated USDe or sUSDe, it should exit."
However, on the same day, Arthur Hayes un-staked 9.018 million ENA from the marked address and transferred 7 million ENA to Binance (at that time, ENA was priced around $1.21, making the total value of these tokens about $8.47 million), and a day later withdrew 7.85 million USDC from Binance using the same address, completely unabashedly dumping. Later, Arthur Hayes also transferred nearly 10 million ENA to CEXs like Bybit to profit from the dump.
Before this, Arthur Hayes had boldly predicted that ENA's price could break $10.
Looking back at ENA's historical trend, when Arthur Hayes was "promoting while dumping," ENA had just regained the $1 mark, showing signs of a washout ending and continuing to rise, but the subsequent trend was a downward spiral, now having dropped over 70%.
This time, with HYPE just breaking $40 and setting a new high, will Arthur Hayes repeat his "promote while dump" operation, and will a similar script play out again?
