Arthur Hayes Dumps Millions in Crypto Amid Bearish Bet on U.S. Tariff Impact

Crypto heavyweight Arthur Hayes just made a seismic move—dumping millions in digital assets as U.S. tariffs rattle markets. Is this a tactical retreat or a warning flare for the sector?

The ex-BitMEX CEO’s sell-off coincides with escalating trade tensions—and whispers of a broader crypto chill. Hayes, never one to mince words, seems to be pricing in a regulatory storm.

Market watchers are split: Some see a savvy hedge against macro risks, others spy panic selling disguised as strategy. Either way, the timing’s impeccable—just as retail traders double down on ‘buy-the-dip’ mantras.

One thing’s clear: When whales like Hayes make waves, the crypto seas get choppy. And if history’s any guide, the little fish often end up paying the tariff—literally.
