Billionaire Arthur Hayes Abruptly Moves $3,530,000 in Ethereum, Pours $257,500 Into ETH-Based Altcoin

2 min read

Billionaire crypto entrepreneur Arthur Hayes just initiated a new crypto purchase.

Analysts at Lookonchain say Hayes moved $3.53 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) in just over 24 hours.

Approximately $1.5 million of the ETH was sent to the institutional crypto asset firm Galaxy, suggesting Hayes may be looking to sell.

Meanwhile, Hayes used a portion of the $2.03 million in ETH that was not sent to Galaxy to purchase 1.22 million Ethena (ENA) tokens worth about $257,000 at time of publishing.

Amid the shuffle, Hayes noted he’s executing a rotation out of ETH on X.

“We are rotating out of ETH and into high-quality DeFi names, which we believe can outperform as fiat liquidity improves.”

Ethena’s ENA is the governance token for the Ethena protocol, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on Ethereum that provides a crypto-native synthetic dollar called USDe.

Hayes has since been an investor in and promoter of the protocol since 2023, when he became a founding advisor through his family office Maelstrom and received ENA tokens in exchange.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
