Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer at Maelstrom Fund, disclosed his cryptocurrency holdings, naming Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Zcash (ZEC) and Hyperliquid (HYPE). The portfolio, described in an X post, shows two assets with markedly different year-to-date performances, signaling a diversified stance within crypto exposure.
Notably, ZEC and HYPE have diverged sharply in 2026. ZEC has plunged about 55% year-to-date, while HYPE has risen roughly 11% over the same period. Hayes had earlier described ZEC as “Bitcoin with complete privacy” and predicted the token would rally to $10,000. However, it has been rocked hard this year amid rising bearish sentiment.
On the market infrastructure side, Hyperliquid Strategies (PURR) is actively buying, while Nasdaq-listed Hyperion DeFi Inc (HYPD) holds more than 1 million HYPE tokens. The Hyperliquid platform also controls a significant portion of tokenized asset perpetual trading volume, positioning it ahead of Binance and other rivals.
