Arthur Hayes says he has sold his entire positions in the cryptocurrency tokens HYPE and NEAR. Multiple reports describe the move as a complete exit from those holdings rather than a partial reduction. Hayes presents the decision as tied to his broader market outlook, warning that conditions could deteriorate before September and that an “AI IPO” wave may draw liquidity away from other markets.
One outlet also notes that Hayes’s announcement follows earlier public promotion of the same tokens, with some social media users reacting critically to the timing of the sale. The coverage does not provide additional details on trade sizes, execution timing, or how Hayes arrived at specific dates beyond his stated warning about a potential market peak.
Overall, the reports agree that Hayes publicly communicates both the sale of HYPE and NEAR and the rationale centered on expected liquidity shifts linked to AI-related initial public offerings, with reference to the timing of US midterm elections. The articles provide Hayes’s perspective, without corroborated evidence of the projected liquidity impact.
