We’re excited to have @CryptoHayes joining us at the Digital Assets & Tokenization Summit. Arthur, CIO of @MaelstromFund, will sit down with our Founder & CEO, @nikichain, for a fireside on what comes next as AI agents begin to play a more active role in the digital economy.

Arthur Hayes: Hyperliquid Still Leads Perp DEXs, but Risk-Reward Has Changed Flop Labs CEO Arthur Hayes @CryptoHayes said in a September 30 interview with @BitcoinNews at KBW 2026 that Hyperliquid remains the best perp DEX, but its risk-reward is no longer as attractive as it was earlier.Hayes said he bought HYPE at around $30 and sold near $75. Even after the token later fell back into the $50, he did not see an attractive enough opportunity to re-enter. In his view, Hyperliquid still leads on liquidity, brand recognition and tokenomics, but growing competition has changed the risk-reward profile. WuBlockchain note: Arthur Hayes has a relatively poor historical track record on market forecasts and frequently adjusts his views. His analytical framework may be more useful to follow than his specific price targets or timing calls.

Arthur Hayes: Hyperliquid Is the Best DEX, but Not Necessarily the Most Profitable Investment Flop Labs CEO Arthur Hayes @CryptoHayes said in a September 12 interview with VirtualBacon @virtualbacon that Hyperliquid is the best-run decentralized exchange today, and he believes the project will continue to grow.However, from an investment-return perspective, Hayes said Hyperliquid is already very large, making another 5x gain much harder. In his view, Hyperliquid may be the best DEX, but not necessarily the most profitable investment. By comparison, lower-market-cap tokens that have fallen more sharply may require much less additional market value to deliver higher multiples.

ARTHUR HAYES SEES BITCOIN AT $1 MILLION BY 2030 Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes predicts Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2030, with its strongest rally in late 2027 or early 2028. His thesis: an AI infrastructure bubble bursts as data-center revenues fail to justify massive investment, forcing governments to inject trillions in liquidity. Hayes expects that monetary expansion to benefit Bitcoin’s fixed-supply narrative, driving demand for the cryptocurrency.

Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) just called for $ENA to reach $0.50. He bought 25.33M $ENA ($5.53M) at an average price of $0.09 a month ago and is now sitting on a $3.28M unrealized profit (+146%)!

Arthur Hayes: AI Capital Misallocation Could Benefit Bitcoin and Gold On September 8, 2026, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes @CryptoHayes said in an interview with The Rollup @therollupco that the AI industry is entering a phase of capital misallocation, with large amounts of capital continuing to flow into data centers and related companies while some projects remain heavily reliant on cash burn. He believes political factors may drive governments and central banks to expand their balance sheets and provide liquidity to conceal bad investments, which is one reason why assets such as Bitcoin and gold have been performing strongly. Wu Blockchain cautioned that Arthur Hayes’ historical track record for market predictions has been relatively inaccurate and that his views are often subject to change. It recommends focusing on his analytical framework rather than his specific price and timing predictions.
