Arthur Hayes is back in focus because of where his money is moving.

As Ethereum trades sideways near the key $3,000 level, the BitMEX co-founder has begun trimming his ETH exposure and rotating into decentralized finance tokens, a shift that’s catching attention across the crypto market.

Hayes Moves Millions Out of ETH

On-chain data shows that on December 19, Hayes transferred 508.647 ETH worth about $1.5 million to Galaxy Digital. Today, he moved another 680 ETH, valued at roughly $2.03 million, explicitly to sell and rotate into high-quality DeFi tokens, according to Lookonchain.

These transfers come at a sensitive moment for Ethereum. ETH has struggled to move decisively above resistance and is currently consolidating slightly below $3,000. Spot Ethereum ETFs are also suffering through 7 continous days of outflows, adding pressure.

Market analysts say ETH needs to hold current levels to avoid a deeper pullback toward the $2,700-$2,800 zone, while a clean break above $3,200 could restore momentum.

DeFi Rotation Takes Shape

Lookonchain confirmed that Hayes recently bought 1.22 million ENA, showing active rotation into what he describes as “high-quality” DeFi assets.

His view is that improving fiat liquidity may benefit DeFi tokens more than large-cap layer-one assets like Ethereum, especially if risk appetite remains strong.

That stance has sparked debate, with some traders pointing out DeFi’s higher volatility during liquidity shifts.

Just a Short-Term Strategy?

Despite the selling, Hayes’ long-term view on Ethereum is unlikely to change as he has often defended its potential. This is also why the announcement came as a surprise to many.

For now, the market response has been measured. Derivatives volatility remains muted, suggesting caution rather than panic.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
