This morning, Arthur Hayes, one of BitMEX’s co-founders, sold off 237,672.8 GMX tokens worth approximately $10 million from his stash, leading to a significant drop in GMX prices upon transfer to the market maker of NFT platform Blur.
According to Lookonchain’s report, Hayes was poised to earn approximately $3 million in profit if he sold off. However, the market reacted swiftly, causing a significant 10% price decrease and dropping GMX from its peak of around $41 down to $37.

Although it’s impossible to trace the sold GMX tokens that were not staked by Hayes, the massive sell-off that ensued after his alleged sale provides strong evidence of the transaction.
Investors GMX Sentiment Unshaken
Although Hayes hadn’t yet sold off, GMX‘s price showed signs of recuperation and attained some level of stability around $39 after a while. This price stabilization could be linked to the unwavering enthusiasm of GMX investors, as one individual put it, “similar to ETH during the FTX turmoil. I’m buying more.”
It’s believed that one of the major investors in GMX has transferred his shares to a stock broker for sale. This leads us to assume that he is disposing of his holdings.
My question, why is price not tanking hard?
Feels a bit like the price of ETH during the FTX debacle.I’m buying more.$GMX

GMX V2 Single Token Pools Approved
Starting from March 31, GMX held a poll for members to vote on the establishment of two new single token pools in the GMX V2 platform.
Proposed by coinflipcanda was an idea to establish gmBTC2 and gmETH2 Markets on Avalanche and Arbitrum, aiming to attract “more market liquidity to GMX.” If these new markets for single tokens thrive, they may pave the way for additional single token markets featuring stablecoins, yield-bearing stablecoins, LSTs, GMX, and other volatile assets as backings.
Nearly all respondents endorsed the final plan, giving their approval to over 99% for both the gmBTC2 and gmETH2 Market pools.
