Arthur Hayes 2026 Strategy: Stay Long Bitcoin, ETH, Hyperliquid — Wait for Central Bank Print Signal

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes at Inside the Blockchain 100 disclosed that approximately 90% of his net worth is in Bitcoin, with additional long positions in ETH and Hyperliquid. Hayes said his 2026 strategy is to hold current positions and wait for a central bank money-printing signal before adding new risk. He advised retail traders to match their trading activity to their lifestyle and warned that unrealistic return expectations are the primary cause of retail losses. For investors currently down around 45% from the peak, Hayes said those who do not need the capital should simply stop watching prices, describing a 50% drawdown over six months as normal behavior for a highly volatile asset.
