BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has made headlines once again with a substantial addition to his cryptocurrency portfolio. This time, he invested approximately $500,000 in a decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoin project. Let’s delve into the details of this intriguing move.
The Token Purchase
Hayes acquired more than 98,560 Pendle (PENDLE) tokens. Pendle is a unique project that allows users to tokenize and sell future yields. By doing so, it enables DeFi participants to trade future yield streams, creating a novel financial instrument within the crypto space.
The transaction was executed through Wintermute, a leading digital assets trading firm. Notably, Hayes also serves as an advisor for the Pendle project, which further underscores his confidence in its potential.

Current Holdings
As of the latest data available, Hayes now holds over 1,555,697 PENDLE tokens, which translates to a value of more than $7.7 million. His investment strategy appears to be a blend of short-term momentum trading positions (such as Solana and “doggie coins”) and longer-term holdings in tokens like Pendle.
Market Outlook & Pendle Price
Hayes has shared his views on the broader market as well. He believes that Bitcoin (BTC) could trade sideways until August. However, he predicts a rally above $60,000 for Bitcoin, followed by range-bound price action between $60,000 and $70,000 until the summer months.
