BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes makes a bold prediction: the price of Bitcoin could surpass $250,000 by the end of 2025

Arthur Hayes reveals a shocking analysis on the future of Bitcoin. This analysis is based on recent adjustments to monetary policy that could spur strong demand for the leading cryptocurrency.

Co-founder of BitMEX, Arthur Hayes, predicts that the price of Bitcoin could hit $250,000 by the end of 2025, if the FED decides to pivot towards a quantitative easing (QE) policy in his latest analysis.

This prediction is based on the idea that the value of Bitcoin is heavily influenced by market expectations regarding the future supply of fiat currency. If the FED increases the supply of dollars by adopting QE, demand for alternative assets like Bitcoin could rise due to the perceived devaluation of traditional currency.

The latest actions by the FED are already showing signs of such a pivot. On April 1, it reduced the capacity for Treasury bond reductions from $25 billion to only $5 billion per month. According to Hayes, this decision marks the beginning of a bullish cycle for crypto assets.

Having reached a local low of $76,500 last month, Bitcoin could indeed start its surge towards $250,000.

BTC Price: Forecasts Are Contradictory

Not all expert crypto analysts share Arthur Hayes’ optimistic vision. Jamie Coutts from Real Vision estimates, for example, that Bitcoin would hit a peak of $132,000 by the end of 2025. These projections are more conservative. They take into account current market trends, suggesting a less drastic impact of monetary policy on BTC’s price.

But that’s not all! According to data from Polymarket, only 9% of traders are betting on a Bitcoin at $250,000. The majority (at 60%) believe that the price of the flagship cryptocurrency will stabilize around $110,000 in 2025. This sentiment reflects hesitation about the extent of the expected rally for BTC.

While Hayes’ prediction is ambitious, it highlights the importance of monetary policy in determining the price of Bitcoin. Investors will need to closely monitor the FED’s decisions as well as the evolution of the global economy. These could redefine the trajectories of cryptocurrencies in the long term.
