Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin Hitting $250K and Ethereum Surging to $10K Before 2026
Bitcoin and Ethereum are primed for a parabolic rally—if you believe the crypto oracle.
Hayes’ bull case: Institutional FOMO meets supply shock
The former BitMEX CEO’s targets would smash all-time highs, turning today’s prices into distant memories. Meanwhile, Wall Street still can’t decide if crypto’s a ‘risk asset’ or the future of finance—classic hedge fund whiplash.
Key levels to watch: $250K BTC = 5x from here. $10K ETH = 3x moonshot. No pressure, folks.
One skeptic’s take: ‘When a trader cites round numbers, always check their open positions.’

Arthur Hayes is betting big on crypto, predicting Bitcoin will hit $250,000 and ethereum will reach $10,000 by the end of the year. He links this potential surge to Trump’s wartime economic policies, which he believes will boost credit growth and push more money into crypto markets. Hayes also highlights how stablecoin issuers are buying U.S. Treasury bills, helping to finance government deficits, further tying crypto to the broader economy. He sees this trend as a major driver for crypto’s next rally.
