Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX and a prominent figure in the crypto space, has reportedly transferred $8.66 million worth of ONDO tokens to Gate and Bybit in the past three hours.
These transfers come from an address that received 39.91 million ONDO two months ago from a multi-signature wallet linked to the Flux Finance team. Hayes still holds ONDO tokens valued at $20.43 million, according to on-chain data.
ONDO, a token representing the Real World Asset (RWA) concept, has seen a remarkable 72% price increase over the past week, signaling strong market performance. As RWA tokens gain traction for bridging traditional finance and blockchain, ONDO’s growth has caught the attention of investors and analysts alike.
However, Hayes expressed a contrarian view during this year’s Token2049 conference, suggesting that RWA tokens like ONDO could underperform in certain market conditions. He noted that a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve might spark a bullish trend for Ethereum (ETH).
According to Hayes, tokens delivering higher returns than U.S. Treasury bonds, such as ENA, EHT, ETHFI, and PENDLE, are likely to emerge as market leaders, whereas RWA tokens could face challenges.

Hayes’ recent token movements have fueled speculation about his market outlook and intentions. While the reasons for the transfers remain unclear, they coincide with ONDO’s impressive rally, raising questions about whether he is capitalizing on the token’s gains or repositioning for anticipated market shifts.
As ONDO and the broader RWA token sector continue to evolve, Hayes’ actions and insights provide valuable indicators for traders navigating this dynamic market landscape.
