The recent unexpected interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve has sparked demand for riskier assets, with both Bitcoin and altcoins benefiting from this shift. However, not everyone is holding onto their positions in this recovering market. One such investor is Arthur Hayes, the founder and former CEO of BitMEX, who decided to offload his long-held Pendle tokens at a loss.

As reported by The Bit Journal, while the market recovery continues, some investors are seizing this moment as a selling opportunity. Among them is Arthur Hayes, who opted to sell his accumulated PENDLE tokens today. Hayes sold 350,000 PENDLE tokens, worth $1.26 million, at a loss of 36%. This trade resulted in a staggering $790,000 loss for the renowned investor. The on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain provided detailed insights into this trade, revealing that Hayes purchased these tokens between May and June at an average price of $5.60. However, a more than 40% drop in PENDLE’s price led to his decision to exit the position.
