COINOTAG News reported on November 30 that Monad (MON) has drawn scrutiny from Arthur Hayes, the BitMEX co-founder. Hayes described MON as a high Fully Diluted Valuation with a constrained circulating supply and venture-capital backing. He warned that this tokenomics setup can expose retail investors to elevated risk, suggesting substantial losses may follow once insiders’ unlocks begin and liquidity dynamics shift. In his view, MON may illustrate a pattern where early hype gives way to a challenging price regime, underscoring risk controls for new entrants.

Hayes further argued that many new Layer-1 networks may not endure the long run, with survival likely for only a select few. He cited Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Zcash as protocols with credible staying power into the next cycle. Investors should weigh the risk of speculative projects against the resilience of established networks, he asserted, as macro conditions and sector rotation shape the crypto market dynamic.
