‘They are going to print money’: Arthur Hayes predicts Bitcoin course of $ 250,000

Arthur Hayes, founder of Bitmex and prominent Bitcoin investor, thinks that the Bitcoin (BTC) price can rise to $ 250,000 in the next six months. According to him, that expected doubling is related to another economic course from Washington. But how realistic is that? Hayes expressed his expectation during Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas.

“They are going to speed up the money”

Instead of importing rates that consumers and companies can hit hard, Hayes expects the US government to come up with incentive measures that sell better towards the interim elections. And according to him, that would turn out favorably for risk investments such as Bitcoin.

Central to his story is expected that the US government and central bank will open the money tap. “They are going to speed up the money,” said Hayes. He is referring to measures such as the relaxation of rules for banks and institutions that work with government bonds.

He also pointed to possible changes at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two mortgage institutions supported by the government. If they can pick up capital again and increase their balance, it would stimulate the housing market. Cheaper mortgages and more economic activity can than fuel the demand for risk -investments such as Bitcoin.

Gold and Bitcoin as an alternative

Finally, Hayes thinks Washington opts for a different approach: no longer import duties, but capital controls. With this, foreign governments could be taxed on their American investments, such as government bonds, shares and land, which are the result of long -term trade surpluses. That could encourage other countries to partly park their reserves in gold or bitcoin, says Hayes.

He is not the only one with a rosy expectation. Bitcoin may also see billionaire Tim Draper this year rising to $ 250,000. According to him, a friendlier regulatory climate under Trump and increasing adoption by companies provide extra support.

Hayes even thinks that Bitcoin can go to $ 1 million in the long term, possibly before 2028. At the same time, he predicts that Ethereum (ETH) is also recovering this year, with a possible increase to $ 10,000.
