🚀 Arthur Hayes: “99% of Altcoins Could Go to Zero” as Market Clears Excess

At Consensus Miami 2026, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated that 99% of “shitcoins” could eventually go to zero. He framed this as a normal market-clearing process rather than an end to crypto, comparing it to the S&P 500’s long-term turnover since 1929. Hayes argued that industries evolve through constant replacement and that the altcoin ecosystem will continue to exist and develop.

📊 Arbitrum Security Council Member: Aave is Too Loose with Liquid Staking Tokens

Griff Green, a member of the Arbitrum Security Council, asserts that lending protocols like Aave are too lenient with liquid staking tokens, neglecting significant technical risks.
