Arthur Hayes Proposes the Return of ICOs to Save Crypto π§
In his essay The Cure, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, criticizes venture capital (VC)-backed crypto projects for straying from decentralization and massive retail profits. He argues that ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) should return to empower retail investors, provide decentralization, and reignite the excitement of early crypto days.
π‘ Why ICOs?
βͺοΈ They bypass VCs and centralized exchanges (CEXs).
βͺοΈOffer high risk but potentially 10,000x rewards.
βͺοΈEncourage viral memetic content and innovative tech development.
Hayes points out that retail investors are shunning VC-backed tokens in favor of memecoins due to better risk-reward dynamics. He sees ICOs as the antidote to the current system, restoring financial dreams for the crypto community.
π₯ His call to action? βJust Say Noβ to overvalued VC-backed projects and embrace the speculative chaos of ICOs!

On the night of Dec. 5-6, Bitcoin plunged over 13%, dropping from its ATH above $104K to $90.5K before bouncing back to $98K. ππ
π Rachel Lucas from BTC Markets explained the crash as βleverage unwinding,β triggering stop-losses and forced liquidations. Retail traders overleveraged during the ATH, while whales strategically distributed their holdings. Liquidations spiked to $564Mβthe highest since June 2024.

Meanwhile, altcoins stayed calm, with top-10 assets showing modest declines.
