BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said artificial intelligence has absorbed a large share of newly created dollar liquidity, a dynamic he believes has helped keep Bitcoin from advancing. He said he sold HYPE, NEAR, WLD and ZEC, and may use derivatives (contracts tied to an underlying asset) for tactical short positions. The remarks frame AI as a competing destination for risk capital at a time when crypto traders are closely watching where fresh liquidity flows across speculative markets.
