Arthur Hayes' net worth estimated at over $200M, says Arkham

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has an estimated net worth of at least $200 million, according to an analysis by blockchain platform Arkham (ARKM). Hayes, who co-founded the crypto derivatives exchange in November 2014, was instrumental in designing the perpetual swap contract, now an industry standard. Arkham noted that while his confirmed on-chain assets total around $42 million, his total net worth is likely between $200 million and $350 million when factoring in his stakes in BitMEX, his family office Maelstrom, and his Ethena (ENA) holdings. The platform added that Hayes is also known to hold significant amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum, noting the possibility of additional undiscovered wallets.
