Arthur Hayes New Article: His Fund is Currently in a Defensive Position, Only Slightly Increasing Holdings in Hyperliquid

BlockBeats News, April 16th, BitMEX Co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in a recent article that his fund Maelstrom is currently in a "No Trade Zone." In the first quarter, apart from slightly increasing the Hyperliquid long position, the fund has essentially ceased trading activities.

Hayes believes that the current market faces two key variables: first, the widespread adoption of AI agents will destroy the Western gig economy, leading to a wave of unemployment among knowledge workers and a deflationary financial collapse; second, the Trump administration-led war against Iran has been ongoing for seven weeks, posing a significant threat to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
