Arkham: Arthur Hayes' net worth is estimated to be between 200 million and 350 million dollars
According to the net worth and on-chain holdings report released by Arkham, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes' net worth is estimated to be between $200 million and $350 million. Hayes' wealth exceeded $1 billion during the 2021 bull market and was widely reported as one of the youngest billionaires in the crypto industry, but has since significantly shrunk with the market correction.
Hayes' verified on-chain holdings currently amount to $42 million, with the largest holding being the USDC stablecoin, valued at nearly $27 million; additionally, he holds $8.6 million worth of Ether.Fi's EETH and WEETH products, as well as $8.5 million in investments such as Ethena (ENA), Lido (LDO), and Pendle (PENDLE). The main component of his wealth is the equity he holds in BitMEX.
Although BitMEX reached a valuation of $3.6 billion in 2019, with an annual trading volume exceeding $1 trillion, its current daily trading volume is about $385 million, and Arkham conservatively estimates its valuation in 2026 to be $500 million. As a co-founder, Hayes may hold up to 33% of the shares, but this may have been diluted after years of turmoil.
