Gambar Arthur Hayes Is Buying HYPE While Selling Two Other Crypto Tokens — Here’s Why

This statement is in line with his previous analysis, when he highlighted Hyperliquid as the most dominant perpetual DEX with huge trading volumes.

The crypto billionaire also set a fairly aggressive price target for HYPE of $150 by August 2026. The target represents a potential upside of about 4 times from the $35-$40 price range. According to Arthur Hayes, Hyperliquid stands out for being the decentralized project with the highest revenue.

Hyperliquid is said to use 97% of its revenue to buy back HYPE tokens on the market. The platform also continues to lead derivatives trading volumes, while expanding into real-world assets such as tokenized oil. Hyperliquid’s XYZ:CL-USD and XYZ:BRENTOIL-USD oil futures contracts recorded trading volumes in the billions on April 8, 2026.

Hayes Releases These Crypto Tokens

On-chain platform Lookonchain reported that Arthur Hayes bought ETHFI at a high price, then sold it back at a lower level today. Despite this, ETHFI’s current price is still trading more than 4% higher at $0.45.

He was recorded as buying 265,461 ETHFI worth approximately $135.4K at an average price of $0.51, in transactions made on February 19 and March 18. However, the tokens were later sold at $0.44, so he realized a loss of about 13% or $17.6K.

In addition, Hayes also started realizing profits from AUKI after a 24-hour buyout (8/4), based on data from Arkham Intelligence. He transferred 3.55 million AUKI tokens worth $19.61K to FlowDesk for sale.

The price of AUKI itself rose 5% in 24 hours (8/4), as the broader crypto market recovered after news of a two-week US-Iran truce. In that period, AUKI moved around a low of $0.00547 and a high of $0.00651. Its trading volume also jumped 91% compared to the previous 24 hours.
