Reversal in Strategy
The trading legend’s recent spree follows a dramatic reversal in strategy. Earlier this month, Hayes sold off most of his holdings, including 2,373 ETH worth $8.32 million, converting them into stablecoins as he warned of potential market turbulence.
Hayes pointed to US tariffs and weaker-than-expected jobs data as risks that could see Bitcoin BTC $117 092 24h volatility: 0.8% Market cap: $2.33 T Vol. 24h: $51.00 B retrace to $100,000 and Ether revisit $3,000.
But just days later, with ETH trading near $4,600, Hayes moved $10.5 million in USDC uSDC $1.00 24h volatility: 0.0% Market cap: $67.66 B Vol. 24h: $22.22 B back into the market to buy ether, signaling renewed bullishness. In a post on X, he even admitted he “had to buy it all back” while sharing an ETH chart.
Had to buy it all back, do you forgive me @fundstrat ?
I pinky swear, I'll never take profit again.
