The Crypto Market is on the Verge of a Major Boom – Arthur Hayes

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, believes that the Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency bull markets are in their early stages.

In a recent interview on Empire, Hayes discussed the potential for people to invest in newly approved spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) via retirement accounts.

He mentioned that retirement account money represents “sticky flows” that are less likely to be affected by sudden price drops. Hayes highlighted the increasing global promotion of these ETFs as a hedge against inflation by financial advisors.

Despite his reservations about this narrative, he acknowledged its effectiveness in attracting investors and becoming a popular product among ETF providers.

Hayes suggested that this is just the beginning, with more offerings likely in the future, extending beyond Bitcoin to assets like Ethereum or Solana.

He emphasized that investors are only beginning to explore the possibilities, with many still recovering from previous losses. While the excitement is palpable, Hayes indicated that significant potential lies ahead, with the possibility of previously remarkable gains being dwarfed by even larger surges.

As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $67,717, down nearly 7% in the past 24 hours, and recently hit a new all-time high of $73,603.
