According to Wu, BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes predicted in an interview (38:25) that "Aptos will surpass Solana in the L1 competition and become the second largest L1. This will take one to three years, and more details will be revealed in September this year."

Arthur Hayes believes that “the biggest risk in the next 2 to 3 years is that a major crypto custodian gets hacked and loses $50 billion to $100 billion in cryptocurrencies, which would be the end of the cycle.”
