Arthur Hayes Fires Up Crypto Bulls: Bitcoin & Ethereum Poised for Epic Q4 Surge
BitMEX's rogue prophet just dropped a grenade in the bear camp.
Hayes' year-end rally call comes as institutional money starts nibbling at crypto like a Wall Street tourist at a sushi buffet—cautiously at first, then all-in once the FOMO hits. The man who built derivatives hell for degens now sees altseason brewing.
Key triggers ahead:
- Macro tides shifting (Fed pivot theater entering Act III)
- ETH ETF flows juicing the gamma squeeze
- Miner capitulation clearing weak hands
Will this be the Christmas rally that finally makes your brother-in-law shut up about his 'waiting for $12k BTC' buy order? Place your bets—the casino's open 24/7.

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, forecasts Bitcoin will soar to $250,000 and ethereum to $10,000 by the end of 2025, representing gains of over 111% and 179% respectively. He highlights growing institutional adoption, particularly in Ethereum and the DeFi space, where his Maelstrom Fund holds significant investments. Despite recent price dips, Hayes remains confident both assets are poised for substantial rallies, driven by increasing market interest and changing investor sentiment.
