Hayes <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/arthur-hayes-rebuys-eth-amid-price-rally-and-swears-off-profit-taking\/\">explained<\/a> that he had to buy it all back at higher prices, asked for forgiveness from the Ethereum community, and promised not to take ETH profits again.<\/p>\n<p>In November, though, further on-chain data from Lookonchain <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/arthur-hayes-is-dumping-altcoins-again-heres-what-he-sold-in-a-day\/\">showed<\/a> that he disposed of 520 ETH for $1.66 million, alongside ENA and ETHFI.<\/p>\n<p>Another report from late December 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/arthur-hayes-dumps-eth-for-6m-in-pendle-lido-and-emerging-defi-tokens\/\">indicated<\/a> that he had sold additional ETH and purchased PENDLE, LDO, ENA, and ETHFI again.
