Captivating Crypto Insights with Arthur Hayes
Welcome, dynamo crypto enthusiasts! Let's dive into the world of digital assets with a veteran perspective from the legendary BitMEX founder, Arthur Hayes. In a recent chat with The Rollup, Hayes revealed the two crucial factors he considers when investing in digital asset protocols.
Hayes thrives on protocols that boast real-life users shelling out their hard-earned digital cash to enjoy the service. He emphasized, "They're not spending token emissions, they're spending their own stables or other crypto to use as a product or service." Imagine platforms such as Hyperliquid, a sleek layer-1 protocol with a sizzling DEX that's expanded remarkably in under two years, thanks to its user and volume surge.
Another critical component for Hayes is a crystal-clear reward system for token holders. He declared, "I want to see how I'm getting paid. Is it a token buyback, is it an emission, what's the scheme? There are all different flavors depending on how you want to incentivize behavior, but at the end of the day, I buy a token, I want some sort of APY, and then I can take that APY and run some sort of financial analysis."
While commenting on Uniswap, Hayes stressed that even impressive protocols like Uniswap could use improvement, as they currently don't reward users for their contributions to the platform.
In essence, Hayes casts his finances in the consistently profitable and sustainable digital projects that demonstrate genuine user base willingness to part with their digital assets for products or services and offer transparent reward mechanisms for token holders.
