Bitmex Cofounder Arthur Hayes Predicts Aggressive Financial Measures and Soaring Crypto Prices

Arthur Hayes, cofounder and former CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Bitmex, has shared his prediction about the crypto industry and his view on the interplay between politics and financial markets.

Bitmex cofounder Arthur Hayes has predicted that cryptocurrency prices will rise under both the Donald Trump and Kamala Harris administrations due to increased money printing. He added that bitcoin’s price could soar to “hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe $1 million.”

Hayes shared his thoughts on the crypto industry and the interplay between politics and financial markets in an article published on Aug. 7. He discussed how politicians might secure re-election during a market downturn, such as by printing money and manipulating prices.

Using Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris as an example, he suggested she would take aggressive financial measures to prevent a financial crisis. Hayes also explored a potential global financial crisis from Japan Inc.’s yen carry trade unwinding, noting that Harris would likely instruct U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to use monetary tools to avert the crisis.

Hayes told DL News on Monday that crypto prices will rise regardless of whether Trump or Harris is in office. “Yes, crypto donates a lot of money. But I don’t think you’ve donated enough to outpace a JPMorgan, a Morgan Stanley, a Citibank, [or] a Goldman Sachs,” he said. “And if you think about who is staffed at all of these agencies, it’s all people who came from these banks. So while it’d be great if Trump got elected and he did all these things, I think he might run into the same problem he ran into his first term.”

The Bitmex cofounder proceeded to share his prediction:

“Both the Trump administration or Harris administration will print the money. They do it in different ways. But the money will be printed. And so your crypto is going to go up — the path could be very wonky, but at the end of the day, we know where it’s going.”

“The bitcoin price in this cycle is going to go very, very high — hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe $1 million,” the former Bitmex executive added. “There’s so much debt that needs to be rolled over. We’re entering a period where the global monetary architecture is completely changing.”
