BitMEX Co-founder Arthur Hayes Predicts Massive Bitcoin Rally and Central Bank Pivot
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes made some bold predictions about the future of Bitcoin and the role of central banks in the global economy.
In response to the People’s Bank of China’s recent move to reduce the Reserve Ratio Requirement by 0.25%, Hayes is targeting a price tag of $1 million for Bitcoin. He believes that China’s move supports his theory that more government intervention and capital infusions are on the horizon.

The Reserve Ratio Requirement is the amount of reserves that a commercial bank must maintain as a percentage of their deposits. When this requirement is lowered, the amount that commercial banks can lend or invest increases, leading to greater liquidity and economic growth. In a recent essay, Hayes argues that loosening monetary policy is inevitable and will likely lead to further inflation and devaluation of traditional currencies.
Hayes also points to the recently created Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP), designed to ensure that banks can meet all withdrawal requests by depositors. He suggests that this program will lead to a more significant Bitcoin rally than the pandemic-related quantitative easing measures if the amount is anything to go by.
During the COVID money printing episode, BTC rallied from $3,000 to $69,000, and Hayes wonders what will happen this time.
Despite his bullish outlook on the leading cryptocurrency, Hayes acknowledges that the projected rally will likely be met with skepticism and even disdain from some quarters. He suggests that the crypto market and Bitcoin, in particular, will be one of the most hated assets during this rally. Many people associate digital currency with bad actors and negative events, such as the failure of large banks and almost consuming the US banking system. However, Hayes remains undeterred and sees this as an opportunity for savvy investors to capitalize on the potential gains in the Bitcoin market.

In conclusion, the entrepreneur’s predictions about the future of the largest cryptocurrency and the role of central banks in the global economy are bold and controversial, but they cannot be ignored. As more governments and central banks look to stimulate economic growth through monetary policy, BTC and other digital currencies may continue to gain momentum as alternative stores of value.
Only time will tell if Hayes’ projections will come to fruition, but one thing is certain – the world of finance is evolving rapidly, and Bitcoin is likely to play a significant role in shaping its future.
