Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of the Seychelles-based crypto exchange BitMEX, stirred up the crypto community today with a bullish tweet. Hayes forecasted that Bitcoin would hit $110,000 before retracing to around $76,500, pointing to major shifts in U.S. monetary policy as the primary driver.
Hayes Predicts BTC at $110K
The X (formerly Twitter) post highlights Hayes’ bullish outlook for Bitcoin and reveals his expectations of the current monetary environment. The exchange co-founder believes the United States Federal Reserve’s shift from quantitative tightening (QT) to quantitative easing (QE) will inject significant liquidity into financial markets, ultimately supporting a price surge in BTC.
“I bet BTC hits $110k before it retests $76.5k …The Fed is going from QT to QE for treasuries. And tariffs don’t matter cause ‘transitory inflation.’ JAYPOW told me so,” he said.
He dismissed the impact of tariffs, citing “transitory inflation,” which suggests that such an external economic factor will be short-lived and insufficient to derail Bitcoin’s upward momentum.
Interestingly, Hayes promised to expound on his reasoning in an upcoming essay, leaving investors to ponder the potential impacts of a Fed shift and its long-term implications for the crypto market.
Community Reacts
Hayes’ tweet quickly gained traction on X, amassing nearly 400,000 views within hours. His remark “TikTok peanut brain” targeted critics and resonated with some of his audience. Some observers noted that an easing monetary stance typically boosts investor sentiment and can lead to capital inflows into alternative assets, including crypto.
However, not all agree with Hayes’ prediction. His earlier tweet suggested that BTC would dip to $70,000, representing a typical 36% correction from the all-time high. Critics point out that Bitcoin has not come close to this level. Its lowest price since the recent peak has been around $76,653, leaving many to wonder if Hayes’s market sense is off balance.
Moments before Arthur Hayes’ bullish Bitcoin call, Robert Kiyosaki tweeted that many miss out on Bitcoin’s historic wealth-building potential by hesitating. Kiyosaki advocates for learning from diverse voices rather than relying solely on conventional financial education. Notably, these views contrast with the recent bearish tweet from the CryptoQuant CEO, which stated that the Bitcoin bull cycle is over.
