Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and chief investment officer at digital asset investment fund Maelstrom, is navigating the uncertainty of the upcoming U.S. election by allocating 5% of the fund's assets in staked USDe, earning around 13%. Hayes plans to reinvest this capital into cryptocurrencies once the election results are established and any disputes are settled. He maintains large bullish positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum, suggesting that the election outcome will not significantly impact Bitcoin's long-term prospects due to ongoing budget deficits. Despite predicting potential market turbulence if social unrest ensues, he remains optimistic about crypto's resilience in a post-election scenario. The risk of military conflict following the election is also noted, which could temporarily depress asset prices but might favor Bitcoin's inflationary hedge in the medium term.
