BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes employs BTC puts at a $35,000 strike price for hedging. Annualized bitcoin volatility rises from 46% to over 52%. Almost $30 million worth of leveraged bitcoin positions liquidated, predominantly longs. Unrealized profits among bitcoin holders decrease from over 90% to just above 83%, reflecting growing sell pressure.
