Renowned altcoin investor Mao Shixing, also known as Discus Fish, has made headlines with a significant transfer of funds. In recent transactions, Shixing moved a large sum of Ethereum (ETH) and Chainlink (LINK) tokens, valued at approximately $7.3 million. This substantial movement has sparked interest in the crypto world, with many speculating on the potential market impact.

Discus Fish Sells Off Ethereum and Chainlink Holdings

Discus Fish, a well-known figure in the altcoin space and founder of both F2Pool and Cobo, has caught the attention of investors with his recent moves. According to Lookonchain data, since October 2, his wallet has been actively transferring large amounts of assets to Binance. Notably, 12,347 Ethereum (worth around $30.4 million) was sent to Binance, with the most recent transaction involving 2,044 Ethereum, valued at $5.45 million. Additionally, 155,720 Chainlink tokens (worth approximately $1.85 million) were transferred.

While the exact motivation behind these transfers remains unclear, some analysts speculate that Discus Fish might be liquidating his ETH and LINK holdings gradually. Such large transactions often influence market movements, and investors are closely watching for any potential shifts in the altcoin market following these actions.

Discus Fish’s Influence in the Crypto Space

Discus Fish is no stranger to the world of cryptocurrency. In 2013, he co-founded F2Pool, one of the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pools, controlling a significant portion of the global mining power. His other notable venture, Cobo, founded in 2017, focuses on providing secure blockchain infrastructure and scaling solutions. These ventures have positioned him as a significant player in the cryptocurrency industry.

Arthur Hayes Shifts Altcoin Strategy Amid Market Uncertainty

Another prominent figure making moves in the crypto world is Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX. Hayes recently reduced his altcoin holdings, citing geopolitical risks, particularly the tensions between Iran and Israel. According to his statements, he has sold most of his meme coins, retaining only Smoking Chicken Fish (SCF). Hayes plans to focus on more strategic investments through his company, Maelstrom, and is eyeing less liquid assets like Ethena.

Despite his cautious stance, Hayes remains confident in the long-term potential of altcoins but is opting for a more conservative approach in the short term due to market volatility.

Both Discus Fish and Arthur Hayes are making strategic adjustments in their altcoin portfolios, which could have significant implications for the broader market. As always, The Bit Journal advises investors to stay informed and vigilant as these major players reshape their holdings in response to ongoing market conditions.
