BitMEX Founder Moves Millions in GMX Tokens to Exchanges

Former BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes has transferred over $1 million worth of GMX tokens to centralized exchanges, according to on-chain analyst EmberCN.

Hayes’ GMX Holdings

Hayes previously held the largest personal GMX address since 2022. On Sunday, he transferred all 237,000 GMX (worth $9.78 million) to a new address.

The new address then sent 41,000 GMX ($1.68 million) to Binance, OKX, and Bybit.

Wintermute Connection

EmberCN believes the new address belongs to algorithmic trading firm Wintermute, which received gas from Wintermute. The analyst suggests Hayes may have entrusted GMX to Wintermute for sale or over-the-counter (OTC) trading.
