Bitcoin to $100K? Arthur Hayes Says “Hold My Crypto”

by

Oh, Arthur Hayes. The man who speaks in deadlines like he’s scheduling a spin class. At Bitcoin Vegas (because of course it’s called Bitcoin Vegas), the BitMEX co-founder dropped a prediction hotter than a Vegas sidewalk in August: Bitcoin’s hitting $100K after summer. Mark your calendars, folks-right between Labor Day and pumpkin spice latte season.

“I think we’re going to hit $100,000 after the northern hemispheric summer,” Hayes declared, probably while sipping a crypto-themed cocktail. Why? Because the dollar liquidity situation is improving, which is finance-speak for “money’s flowing like a broken slot machine.”

Hayes is all about that macro life, not the technical mumbo jumbo. Apparently, wartime financing is injecting liquidity into the system like a caffeine IV drip, and Bitcoin’s soaking it up faster than a tourist at a buffet. He’s so bullish, he thinks Bitcoin will outperform the NASDAQ and US tech stocks. Autumn’s looking spicy, y’all.

And if you’re wondering about new all-time highs, Hayes is like, “Sure, why not?” He’s eyeing $125K by year-end. Because why stop at $100K when you can go full extra?

The Iran Variable (or: War, What Is It Good For?)

Hayes admits the Iran conflict is the wild card here, but he’s betting the markets are already over it. “Oil’s still flowing through the Strait of Hormuz like it’s NBD,” he said, probably while checking his portfolio. “Politicians can yell about it, but the markets are like, ‘Yeah, yeah, we’ve got this.’” Classic markets-always the cool cucumber in the crisis.

“If the Iran war doesn’t turn into a full-on disaster movie, markets will shrug it off,” he added. Because nothing says “business as usual” like a geopolitical crisis that’s only kinda, sorta happening.

Where’s His Money? Spoiler: Not on Dogecoin

Hayes recently dropped over a million bucks on Hyperliquid, calling it the only altcoin that matters. His logic? Real clients, real money, real revenue. Everything else? He’s got zero time for it. Dogecoin? “Cute, but no.”

“If you’re not making money or giving value back, I don’t care about you,” he said, probably while side-eyeing every meme coin in existence. Harsh? Yes. Accurate? Also yes.
