Ethereum Updates Today: Hayes' Move to ETH Ignites Discussion: Is This the Market's Summit or a Strategic Withdrawal?
- Arthur Hayes, BitMEX co-founder, transferred 960 ETH and $2.9M in tokens to institutional desks, reducing his crypto portfolio by 30% in November 2025. - Analysts debate whether his sales signal a bearish market outlook or tactical rebalancing amid Ethereum's $3,100 decline and Bitcoin's $94,000 drop. - Ethereum now dominates his $42.2M portfolio ($18M position), while Orbion criticizes altcoin markets as "broken," contrasting with Tom Lee's bullish Bitcoin parallels. - Institutional consolidation in blu
