Well, Iâll be darned if the crypto market hasnât been limpinâ around like a dog with three legs these past few weeks. Bitcoin, the once-mighty king of digital gold, took a tumble below $100,000 on Tuesday. But hold your horses, folks! Arthur Hayes, a trader with more cleverness than a fox in a henhouse, reckons heâs spotted the spark thatâll set the bull run ablaze once more.
According to Hayes, itâs all about the U.S. government finally pullinâ its socks up and endinâ this pesky shutdown. Once they start shovelinâ liquidity back into the financial markets, well, buckle up! Bitcoinâs gonna be hittinâ new highs faster than a jackrabbit on a hot griddle.
How Uncle Sam Keeps the Cash Flowing
In his article, aptly titled âHallelujahâ (because who doesnât love a bit of divine intervention?), Hayes lays it out plain as day. If the U.S. government keeps the dollar spigot wide open, Bitcoinâs gonna soar to heights thatâll make your head spin faster than a carnival ride. Why? Because governments, bless their hearts, would rather borrow money than raise taxes-ainât that a peach?
As the new administration keeps borrowinâ like thereâs no tomorrow, the Federal Reserveâs balance sheet will balloon faster than a politicianâs promises. And all that extra dollar liquidity? Well, itâs gonna send Bitcoin and its crypto cousins shootinâ for the stars.
Hayes, as sharp as a razor, explained how all sorts of folks-money market funds, foreign central banks, those Too Big to Fail banks, and even Relative Value Hedge Funds-will keep buyinâ Treasury bills like theyâre goinâ out of style. And as sure as the sun rises, government-issued debt will keep the money supply truckinâ along.
Now, under normal circumstances, all that money wouldâve trickled down to the crypto market, keepinâ Bitcoin and its pals perched high and mighty. But thanks to this government shutdown, the whole darn process has hit a snag.
When the Floodgates Open
This shutdownâs been dragginâ on longer than a bad joke, and the Treasuryâs been borrowinâ money without spendinâ a dime. Hayes spilled the beans that the Treasury General Accountâs sittinâ pretty above its $850 billion target by about $150 billion. That means theyâre runninâ on a negative dollar liquidity balance right now, but when the shutdown ends-oh, baby!-the floodgates will open, and all that extra liquidity will come pourinâ into the markets.
Hayes reckons the marketâs gonna be choppier than a stormy sea as long as this shutdown drags on, thanks to the liquidity drain wreakinâ havoc. He predicts that plenty of traders will panic-sell their holdings faster than a cat dodginâ a bath, but he insists thatâd be a mighty foolish move. After all, the âdollar money market plumbingâ ainât often wrong-much like that old mule who always knows the way home.
