Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin is going to grind higher from here, but Ethereum is his number one pick due to its potential to increase “3x to 5x pretty quickly.” Bitcoin has all the factors in place to a seven-figure price over the next four years, according to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes. But he’s buying ETH right now, because he believes it could easily do a “3x to 5x pretty quickly.” On the latest episode of Trade Secrets, Hayes says the collapse of the AI bubble, “massive” money printing, and potential US yield curve control are among some of the reasons why Bitcoin could go to $1 million by 2030 Read more

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said he dumped his Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Near Protocol (NEAR) token holdings, reversing course after previously assigning aggressive upside targets to both assets.

In a Cointelegraph interview, Arthur Hayes explains why global markets may not be pricing in a longer war in the Middle East, and what that may mean for energy prices, liquidity and Bitcoin. As geopolitical tensions escalate and global markets face a new wave of uncertainty, one asset has been behaving in an unexpected way: Bitcoin. While the Middle East slides deeper into conflict and energy markets react to potential supply disruptions, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has held up relatively well compared to many traditional assets. For some observers, that resilience raises an important question: Could Bitcoin be signaling something about the macro environment that markets haven’t fully priced in? Read more

Arthur Hayes warns that AI-related job losses will spark a credit crisis, forcing central banks to print money, which will drive Bitcoin to new all-time highs. The divergence between Bitcoin and tech stocks is a warning sign of a potential artificial intelligence-driven credit crisis that could lead to more central bank money printing, says Arthur Hayes.  “Bitcoin is the global fiat liquidity fire alarm. It is the most responsive freely traded asset to the fiat credit supply,” said the crypto entrepreneur in his latest blog post on Wednesday. Hayes went on to caution that the recent divergence between Bitcoin (BTC) and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index “sounds the alarm that a massive credit destruction event is nigh.” Read more

The BitMEX co-founder's latest Substack essay argues the US Fed’s liquidity program mirrors quantitative easing mechanics that favor Bitcoin and other scarce assets. Arthur Hayes, co-founder and former CEO of crypto exchange BitMEX, argued in a Substack essay published Friday that the Federal Reserve’s new “reserve management purchases” (RMP) program is effectively a rebranded form of quantitative easing. Hayes argues that by buying short-term Treasury bills and recycling liquidity through money markets, the Fed is effectively financing government spending while avoiding the political stigma of quantitative easing, even as officials frame the program as a technical liquidity operation. Hayes said policies like RMP expand fiat liquidity and, in his view, favor scarce assets such as Bitcoin, gold and silver. Read more

Arthur Hayes says Monad’s token structure makes it vulnerable to a brutal selloff, while predicting money printing will fuel the next major crypto rally. Crypto veteran Arthur Hayes has issued a warning over Monad, saying the recently launched layer-1 blockchain could plunge as much as 99% and end up as another failed experiment driven by venture capital hype rather than real adoption. Speaking on Altcoin Daily, the former BitMEX chief described the project as “another high FDV, low-float VC coin,” arguing that its token structure alone puts retail traders at risk. FDV stands for Fully Diluted Value, which is the market value of a crypto project if all its tokens were already in circulation. According to Hayes, projects with a large gap between FDV and circulating supply often experience early price spikes, followed by deep selloffs once insider tokens unlock. “It’s going to be another bear chain,” Hayes said, adding that while every new coin gets an initial pump, that does not mean it will develop a lasting ...
