In response to Arthur Hayes frequently criticizing MON, Monad founder Keone Hon stated on X: "I have great respect for everything you have done for the industry. Perptual Futures are an amazing innovation, and I believe they will continue to rise rapidly in the future. Over the past few days, I have seen you comment on Monad multiple times, and while some content may have been taken out of context, I think you might be interested in what makes Monad unique. I am sure that when you were innovating at BitMEX, you faced a lot of FUD, but you confronted the doubts and continued moving forward, and I dare to respond in the same way... If you are willing to try Monad, I can transfer you some MON." Previously, Arthur Hayes had criticized Monad multiple times this week, even stating that he wanted to send MON to "drop to zero."
