Cobo co-founder and CEO Shenyu shared a personal recollection about Zcash, revealing that on the night ZEC's mainnet launched in 2016, BitMEX had set a price cap at 10 BTC — a level that became ZEC's all-time high. Shortly after he began mining, a lightning strike knocked out the transformer at his GPU mining farm. He has never held ZEC in his personal wallet since.

UK Electoral Commission records show that BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo made two donations to Reform UK in April 2026, giving 1 million pounds and 3 million pounds, or roughly $1.3 million and $4 million. Those contributions accounted for about 74% of the party’s reported funding in the second quarter of 2026, during which Reform UK received about $7.3 million in total. The donations add to broader scrutiny around crypto-linked money in British politics. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is already under investigation after receiving millions of dollars in donations and gifts from Christopher Harborne and George Cottrell, both described as figures tied to the crypto industry. The issue has drawn attention from lawmakers, with Labour MPs reportedly considering in July whether a moratorium on crypto donations imposed in March should become permanent. Delo had also donated $5.3 million to Reform UK in the first quarter of 2026. Separately, Delo was one of three BitMEX-linked figures who pleaded guilty in the United States over Bank Secrecy Act violations. He paid a $10 million fine in 2022 and was later pardoned, along with Arthur Hayes and Samuel Reed, by US President Donald Trump in March 2025.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has shared his market outlook in a recent interview with Cointelegraph. He predicts Bitcoin could hit $1 million by 2030, driven by a bursting AI bubble, massive money printing, and potential US yield curve control. Hayes also sees $58,000 as the likely bottom in this cycle. However, he prefers Ethereum as his top pick, citing better risk-reward and potential for 3-5x gains, as Ethereum is the foundation of DeFi and the only large-cap crypto that hasn't yet broken its 2021 high. He is cautious on Hyperliquid, saying its expectations are already priced in. Hayes also stated that Donald Trump has little influence on crypto prices, and the Federal Reserve is the real driver. On BitMEX's closure, Hayes expressed relief, calling it a voluntary shutdown due to a lack of scale advantages. He noted that the exchange will close on September 23, and he feels good about closing it on his own terms rather than being hacked. Hayes' comments cover multiple aspects of the crypto market, from Bitcoin's long-term outlook to Ethereum's undervaluation and the limited impact of political figures.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes floated an idea on X for a FLOP/USDC futures contract expiring March 31, 2027. If the project fails to deliver a mainnet by then, the contract would settle at zero. The proposal is seen as a market bet or joke on development progress.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes urged U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to stop talking and start printing money, saying his crypto holdings depend on the monetary policy shift. Hayes reiterated that global central bank money printing will drive capital into crypto assets, reflecting the market's expectation of loose monetary policy.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said in a post on X that Technocore.chat, an AI agent chat service, has gone live. The service is open-sourced by flop-labs under the Apache-2.0 license and is described as a chat and note-taking server built for AI agents.

Instead, room messages can be read and written, notes can be stored, and public rooms can be discovered through standard HTTP GET and POST requests. Posting is also supported through DID-based identity and Ed25519 signatures. Technocore.chat is operated by Flop Labs, which the report identified as a project under Arthur Hayes.
