Reversal in Strategy

The trading legend’s recent spree follows a dramatic reversal in strategy. Earlier this month, Hayes sold off most of his holdings, including 2,373 ETH worth $8.32 million, converting them into stablecoins as he warned of potential market turbulence.

Hayes pointed to US tariffs and weaker-than-expected jobs data as risks that could see Bitcoin

The rest of the bag, ENA, LDO, PENDLE, and ETHFI, are showing moderate paper losses, with ENA down the most at $250,246. In total, his holdings stand at $16.43 million, up around $534,000 from his $15.9 million cost basis.

Hayes’ rapid flip from cautious to aggressive suggests he is positioning for a potential altcoin rally. His timing aligns with a broader shift in sentiment across the crypto market, where Ethereum strength has been leading talk of an altseason.
