COINOTAG News, September 12: according to Arkham monitoring, an address linked to BitMEX co‑founder Arthur Hayes transferred 500,000 USDC to Wintermute roughly 40 minutes prior to the report, and subsequently received 110 ETH about 20 minutes later. These movements are recorded on‑chain and timestamped by public explorers.
On‑chain visibility allows market participants to verify the USDC outflow and the ETH inflow without intermediary confirmation. Wintermute is a recognized liquidity provider in crypto markets, and the transaction sizes are material enough to be of interest to liquidity and risk analysts tracking institutional flows.
There has been no public comment from the involved parties; observers should monitor Arkham feeds and official statements for any further clarification. Market participants focused on stablecoin and ETH balance movements may find these documented transfers pertinent to ongoing liquidity assessments.
