Today, LIDO and AAVE worth 2 million dollars were sent to a wallet allegedly belonging to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes.
According to on-chain data, an address believed to be connected to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes received approximately $2.05 million worth of 1.125 million LIDO and 3,033 AAVE from market maker Flowdesk today. This transfer was interpreted by some analysts as an OTC ( purchase of Ethereum-based DeFi blue-chip tokens.
The recipient wallet of the transfer had previously come to the fore with transactions linked to Arthur Hayes. Today's purchase draws attention as it occurs during a period of renewed institutional interest in DeFi projects. While LIDO is one of the largest players in the Ethereum staking market, AAVE holds a leading position among lending and borrowing platforms.
Such purchases generally do not create volatility in the price as they are not reflected in the exchanges; however, they are seen as an important indicator in the market in terms of signaling long-term positions. Hayes is known for his long-term optimism towards Ethereum and the DeFi ecosystem in the past. Therefore, this transaction is also seen by some investors as a "buying the dip" signal.
