    Arthur Hayes Says Regulation is Irrelevant, Only Fiat Liquidity Moves Bitcoin

    2026/05/26 | 15 mins.
    Arthur Hayes from Consensus Miami.

    BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes took the Consensus Miami mainstage to make a provocative case: crypto regulation is irrelevant to Bitcoin's price performance. Hayes argues that fiat liquidity, not legislation, is the only variable that matters. He breaks down how money printing drove Bitcoin's historic gains, why the CLARITY Act won't move the needle, and where he thinks the crypto community should actually focus its political energy.

    Hyperliquid Takes on Polymarket With Native Event Markets | CoinDesk Daily

    2026/05/26 | 1 mins.
    Hyperliquid has its prediction market now.

    Hyperliquid is expanding its HIP-4 outcome contracts into real-world events like inflation data and Fed decisions, putting it in direct competition with Polymarket. The key difference: Hyperliquid handles dispute resolution in-house through its validators, rather than relying on an external oracle like Polymarket's UMA.

Bitwise Asset Management Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen joins to break down the bull and bear case for Hyperliquid, how Bitwise is differentiating BHYPE with in-house staking and 10% of management fees reinvested into HYPE, and why wealth managers are finally moving beyond BTC and ETH. Hyperliquid Strategies CEO David Schamis lays the foundation on how crypto margin trading works and why leverage amplifies timing risk. Plus, Calamos Global Head of ETFs Matt Kaufman explains how the firm's protected Bitcoin ETFs are pulling in fresh capital as spot Bitcoin funds bleed $1.26 billion in a single week.
