$2 Million DeFi Transfer to Address Believed to Belong to Arthur Hayes

According to on-chain data, two large DeFi tokens with a total value of approximately 2.05 million dollars were sent to this address by Flowdesk.

Transfer Details

To the mentioned address:

1.1253 million LIDO (Lido DAO token)
3,033.14 AAVE ( During the transfer of the Aave protocol token), the total market value of the transfer exceeded 2 million dollars.

These tokens are among the leading DeFi projects on Ethereum and are often seen as “blue-chip” (blue-chip) DeFi assets.

The fact that the transfer comes from a corporate market maker like Flowdesk suggests that the transaction may have been executed through an over-the-counter (OTC) purchase.

OTC transactions are preferred to prevent price slippage, especially in high-volume crypto transfers, and are mostly used by professional investors or fund managers.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is known for his interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) and the Ethereum ecosystem in recent years.

Hayes, who has frequently expressed his belief in the future of Ethereum in previous statements, may show that his trust in Ethereum-based projects continues with this transaction.

While the impact of this large-scale transfer on the market is being wondered about, Hayes’ new strategies are being closely monitored by crypto investors.
