Arthur Hayes posted on X about the surge in $RIVER's stock price: "It needs to be listed on more CEXs and DEXs." Following the tweet, RIVER briefly rose from $19 to nearly $26, a 36% increase. Hayes later reiterated his call for CEXs like Binance and Bybit to list RIVER, and River had previously announced a strategic investment from Hayes's fund, Maelstrom Fund. Degens, message your CEX relationship manager and tell them to list $RIVER! @cz_binance @benbybit Stop being a bunch of bitches! List $RIVER! — Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) January 6, 2026 RIVER's total trading volume across the network exceeded $3.5 billion in the past 24 hours, ranking second only to major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH for several days; its daily trading volume on the Binance contract market reached $2 billion, surpassing tokens like SUI, DOGE, and PEPE. Furthermore, Arthur Hayes recently stated in his article "Suavemente" that based on his assessment of the macro liquidity environment in 2026, he remains optimistic about the future of the cryptocurrency market. The article also mentions that Maelstrom Fund entered 2026 almost fully invested, with core holdings including BTC, ETH, and ZEC. In pursuit of returns exceeding those of mainstream cryptocurrencies, it plans to sell some of its ETH holdings and instead allocate its assets to several high-potential DeFi crypto assets. Source
