Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes shared his views on potential market weaknesses and banking strategies in a recent article on Medium. Hayes provides insight into the macro setup and analysis of current market conditions, emphasizing that his opinions should not be considered investment advice.

Hayes begins the article by comparing his skiing experience to macro and cryptocurrency trading books. He recalls a recent ski season in Hokkaido where unexpected weather conditions affected snow quality. Likewise, he highlights that the unexpectedly favorable conditions of March, especially the continued strength of cryptocurrencies, may not be repeated in April.

Turning to the banking sector, Hayes discusses the recently concluded Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP). He explains that despite the cancellations, non-Too Big to Fail (TBTF) banks were not under much stress due to the shenanigans of financial institutions. Hayes examines the discount window, a facility used by central banks to provide funds to banks in need. He explains how troubled banks can take advantage of the discount window by pledging eligible securities, but highlights that current collateral terms are less attractive than previous BTFPs.

Hayes also discusses the role of bank capital requirements and their impact on the banking system. He explains that regulatory frameworks often result in banks preferring to buy government bonds rather than lend to businesses and individuals. Basel III, a set of rules introduced after the 2008 global financial crisis, aimed to create a more resilient banking system. But Hayes notes that these requirements have proven problematic in times of stress, and the Fed has allowed banks to hold U.S. Treasury securities without collateral support during market crashes.

In conclusion, Hayes suggests that April could see extreme weakness in risk asset markets. Although he is not completely shorting the market, he has closed several positions in low-quality cryptocurrencies. He plans to remain in the no-trade zone until May, when he hopes to deploy dry powder and prepare for the start of a new bull market.
