Arthur Hayes Pivots to Stem Cell Ventures Post-Trump Pardon, Maintains Crypto Influence

Arthur Hayes, former BitMEX CEO, received a full presidential pardon from Donald TRUMP in March 2025, absolving him of Bank Secrecy Act violations. The pardon marked a turning point for Hayes, who has since redirected his focus toward stem cell research and longevity investments.

Hayes now holds a significant stake in an unnamed stem cell therapy company with clinics in Bangkok and Mexico. "I want to live as long as I can and be as healthy as I can," Hayes stated, revealing he undergoes regular treatments at these facilities. The MOVE reflects a growing global trend of unregulated stem cell therapies pursued outside U.S. jurisdiction.

Despite this shift, Hayes continues to shape cryptocurrency markets through Maelstrom, his investment fund backing Bitcoin development and crypto ventures. His dual focus on cutting-edge biotechnology and digital assets underscores the evolving priorities of crypto's early pioneers.
