In the cryptocurrency market today, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has suffered significant losses from his recent investments in the popular memecoins PEPE and MOG. October, which had been widely anticipated to be a bullish month for the cryptocurrency market, has instead turned into a challenging period, partly due to ongoing geopolitical tensions. As a result, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped to the $61,000 range, impacting many cryptocurrencies, including memecoins.
According to data from SpotOnChain, Hayes experienced a $47,000 loss from $PEPE and MOG just six days after buying the tokens. On September 27, Hayes publicly expressed his support for three memecoins—PEPE, MOG, and MOTHER—on Twitter.

Following his tweets, he spent a whopping $500,000 on PEPE and MOG. However, just hours ago, he decided to cut his losses, depositing 24.39 billion PEPE (worth $230,000) and 167.5 billion MOG ($223,000) back to Binance and Bybit, marking an end to his short-lived memecoin venture.
The prices of these memecoins have taken a nosedive in the same period, with PEPE seeing a sharp 18% drop and MOG falling over 10%. Hayes' decision to exit his positions in these tokens reflects the volatility of the memecoin market, where rapid price changes can lead to significant gains or losses within a short period.
