Crypto Research Day 2024: Market Commentary from Arthur Hayes

Market Commentary from Arthur Hayes

On 19th September 2024 ​ Superscrypt ,  Ethereal Ventures , and  ANAGRAM hosted the Crypto Research Day in Singapore. As part of our Research Day, we were joined by Arthur Hayes, one of the most prolific investors and personalities in Web3, who shared with us his takes on the market, ETFs and investing in the current climate:

  • On market outlook:

    • Arthur points out that if the recent rally (Nov '23 to Apr '24) didn’t feel like a bull market, then people might have been in the wrong assets

    • With the macro environment still uncertain and TradFi pressure looming, he’s cautious on short-term price action but believes crypto’s long-term value will prevail

  • On institutional adoption and ETFs:

    • The introduction of Bitcoin ETFs is seen as a significant development, with basis trades driving AUM growth

    • Ethereum ETFs, on the other hand, have been lagging in unlocking institutional liquidity due to a less developed futures market on CME and current basis spreads below 5%, which are unattractive for macro traders

    • However, Arthur notes that institutional capital takes considerable time to fully engage and is still overall bullish on ETFs unlocking institutional liquidity

  • On investment philosophy:

    • Arthur shared how he prioritises investments in infrastructure supporting decentralisation over consumer-facing products marketed to retail (which may be tricky in different jurisdictions)

    • He views speculation, including meme coins and cultural trends, as the most primitive form of adoption driving on-chain activity

    • However, he cautions about the recent trend of projects launching at high FDV, which may limit upside potential for retail investors compared to established assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana (median “low float, high FDV” project launched is underperforming majors by 50%)
