Arthur Hayes: Bitcoin Could Boom as China Battles Tariffs
Bitcoin is once again at the center of global money moves. Arthur Hayes, BitMEX founder, predicts a new wave of Chinese capital heading into BTC. China may soon devalue its currency, the yuan, to counter rising U.S. tariffs, pushing investors to move their money out of China and into Bitcoin. This scenario has played out before in 2013 and 2015, with BTC experiencing noticeable price surges during past yuan devaluation events. Hayes believes history could repeat, with a weaker yuan driving Chinese investors to use Bitcoin to protect their wealth. As the yuan weakens, making it harder to buy foreign assets, Bitcoin’s global and easy accessibility becomes an attractive option for investors seeking to preserve their capital.
