Arthur Hayes cashes out on $HYPE. 🚨
The former BitMEX chief just offloaded 96,628 $HYPE, despite hyping (pun intended) a x126 rally not long ago. His family office, Maelstrom, gave the reasoning: massive unlocks are coming.
Starting November 29, 2025, a whopping 237.8M $HYPE will unlock linearly over 24 months. At $50 per token, that’s ~$11.9B in supply pressure — about $500M monthly. Current buybacks only cover 17%, leaving ~$410M of net sell pressure every month. Ouch.
When called out, Arthur shrugged it off with sarcasm: “I need to put down a deposit for a new Rari 849 Testarossa.” Classic Hayes — irreverent, sharp, half-trolling.
For me, this shows how brutal tokenomics can be. You can have hype, memes, even buybacks, but if the unlock schedule is a tsunami, the market feels it. Comme on dit: gravity always wins.
