Arthur Hayes bets that the HYPE increase in the next six months will surpass all "shitcoins" on CoinGecko with a market cap over 1 billion dollars

In response to former Multicoin co-founder Kyle Samani's view that "Hyperliquid embodies many of the worst issues in the crypto industry."

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes replied: "Since you say HYPE is bad, let's make a bet. I bet that from February 10, 2026, 00:00 (UTC) to July 31, 2026, 00:00 (UTC), HYPE's increase will surpass any altcoin with a market cap over $1 billion on CoinGecko (in USD). You can choose any coin you support as the opponent. The loser must donate $100,000 to a charity designated by the winner."
