Former BitMex CEO Arthur Hayes Calls His Maelstrom Capital a ‘Very Patient’ Fund

“At the time, no one cared about them due to the negativity around [initial coin offerings] and the massive bear market,” Hayes said. “This led to a surge of projects claiming to be the next Uniswap, Compound,or Aave, but many were based on something less substantial. Investors were willing to put money into these projects, knowing they could exit in a few months after getting their tokens,” Hayes added.
