BitMEX founder and crypto influencer Arthur Hayes has revealed his investment strategy for 2024, hinting at a shift towards riskier altcoins later this year.
In an essay published on the Medium blogging platform, Hayes expresses optimism about the crypto industry’s prospects despite potential challenges posed by the incoming Trump administration.
According to Hayes, if President Trump fails to deliver on his promised pro-crypto legislation, it could lead to a market sell-off. However, he anticipates that this sell-off will be offset by a fresh wave of liquidity, possibly driven by the Treasury and Federal Reserve.
“Trump on his proposed pro-crypto and pro-business legislation can be covered by an extremely positive dollar liquidity environment, an increase of up to $612 billion in the first quarter. Right on schedule, just like almost every other year, it will be time to sell in the late stages of the first quarter and chill on the beach, at the [club], or on a ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere and wait for positive fiat liquidity conditions to re-emerge in the third quarter.”
Hayes’ investment fund, Maelstrom, will reportedly increase its risk exposure in crypto markets if the liquidity wave materializes as anticipated. The fund, which has already begun investing in decentralized science (DeSci), plans to expand its holdings in the sector.
“Fulfilling my role as the Chief Investment Officer at Maelstrom, I will encourage the risk-takers at the fund to turn the risk dial to DEGEN. A first step in that direction is our decision to ape into the burgeoning Decentralized Science shitcoin field. We love undervalued dogshit and purchased BIO; VITA; ATH; GROW; PSY; CRYO; NEURON…
If things pan out at a high level, as I described, I will cut the baseline and ride the 909 open hi-hat sometime in March. Of course, anything can happen, but on balance I am bullish.”
