Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin’s Long-Term Growth Fueled by U.S. Monetary Expansion
Arthur Hayes – Bitcoin (BTC) may be trading around $112,735, but former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes believes the cryptocurrency will be “markedly higher” by 2028 — even if the boldest forecasts overshoot reality.
Hayes: Money Printing Will Fuel Bitcoin’s Next Surge
In his latest blog post “Four, Seven,” Hayes argued that the return of U.S. money printing under the Donald Trump administration will act as the catalyst for Bitcoin’s long-term growth. Trump, Hayes suggested, is following a familiar presidential playbook of preserving “the fruits of the supposed empire for the ruling class.”
Hayes noted that Trump’s efforts to confront a rising Eurasia bloc — including Russia, China, India, and Iran — require a radical shift in credit allocation. That, he claimed, will push Trump to secure greater influence over the Federal Reserve and steer monetary policy toward aggressive printing.
“Do not doubt that team Trump will use all the tricks in the book to print the money this transformation of America requires,” Hayes wrote.
Bitcoin at $3.4 Million?
Using historical correlations between credit growth and BTC price appreciation, Hayes estimated that Bitcoin could, in theory, reach $3.4 million by 2028. However, he tempered expectations, admitting such a target may be “too bullish.”
“Do I think Bitcoin will rise to $3.4 million by 2028? No, but I believe the number will be markedly higher than the ~$115,000 that it trades at today,” Hayes explained.
Divided Opinions on Liquidity Impact
Hayes’ ultra-bullish view contrasts with skeptics in the crypto research space. Andre Dragosch, European head of research at Bitwise, dismissed the liquidity-driven argument, calling it a “useless banana.”
Still, with the Federal Reserve widely expected to cut interest rates again in October, optimism over looser financial conditions is keeping Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory firmly in the spotlight.
