Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX and CIO of Maelstrom, has painted a vivid picture of the future—one where tariffs, fiscal dominance, and central bank capitulation collide to create a perfect storm for crypto. In a recent interview with Coin Bureau, Hayes laid out his vision with the kind of bluntness that would make even the most hardened cynic raise an eyebrow. 🧐
“The global monetary order is broken,” Hayes declared, his words dripping with the kind of sarcasm that only a man who’s seen it all can muster. “Trump’s tariffs? They’re just the cherry on top of a cake that’s been baking since 2008. Sure, he’s speeding things up, but this was always going to happen. It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck—except this time, the passengers are all politicians who refuse to do austerity.”
Hayes didn’t mince words when it came to the downstream effects of these tariffs. “They’re great,” he said with a smirk. “They’re accelerating the inevitable. And let’s be real—no politician in their right mind is going to cut spending. So what’s left? Print money, of course. And when they do, crypto will be the big winner.”
China, according to Hayes, is in a particularly tight spot. “America wants China to stop doing the very thing that lifted millions out of poverty. Good luck with that,” he quipped. “Xi Jinping isn’t going to restructure China’s economy just because Trump says so. So what’s the solution? Let the yuan tank. We’re talking 9 or 10 to the dollar. It’s going to be a wild ride.”
This inflationary backdrop, Hayes argued, is a goldmine for crypto. “Central banks are already under pressure to keep funding cheap. The Fed? They’re all in on printing money. Jerome Powell’s dovish rhetoric is just the tip of the iceberg. Tariffs might be transitory, but the money printing? That’s here to stay.”
Hayes also took aim at the fragility of the US Treasury market. “Without those leveraged hedge funds, Treasury yields would be through the roof. The Fed’s going to have to step in with stealth QE. It’s a house of cards, and crypto is the only thing standing on solid ground.”
As for Bitcoin, Hayes was characteristically bullish. “$250,000 this year? Easily. Bitcoin’s going to see through all the tariff noise and focus on the one certainty: money printing. And when that happens, it’s game over for traditional assets.”
Altcoins, however, weren’t spared Hayes’ sharp tongue. “Bitcoin dominance could hit 70% before we see any rotation. And those altcoins without users or revenue? They’re toast. It’s survival of the fittest out there.”
In true Hayes fashion, he ended with a rallying cry. “So close, fam. If BTC breaks below $76,500, my credibility’s in tatters. But you know what? BUY THE FING DIP!”
At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $75,324. 🚀
