Fed Policies and Bitcoin Halving to Ignite Crypto Asset Firesale
Apr 09, 2024 at 12:17 pm
According to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, the forthcoming Bitcoin halving and the Federal Reserve's policies could lead to a substantial cryptocurrency fire sale in the second half of April. Hayes predicts a volatile period for crypto assets, with the halving and the Fed's strategies driving a potential market downturn for several weeks.
Federal Reserve Policies and Bitcoin Halving Expected to Trigger Crypto Asset Firesale
New York, New York - April 11, 2023 - According to Arthur Hayes, co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, a significant sell-off in crypto assets is imminent due to the upcoming Bitcoin halving event and the Federal Reserve's strategies.
Hayes predicts a period of volatility for cryptocurrencies in the latter half of April. He anticipates that the Bitcoin halving, scheduled to occur on May 1st, 2024, coupled with the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening (QT) and Treasury's General Account (TGA) remaining unused, will fuel a massive crypto asset firesale, potentially depressing the market for several weeks.
The Bitcoin halving is an event that occurs approximately every four years, where the block reward for mining Bitcoin is cut in half. Hayes suggests that while the halving could boost prices in the medium term, it could also negatively impact crypto prices immediately before and after the event.
"I believe Bitcoin and crypto prices in general will slump around the halving," Hayes wrote in a blog post on April 8th. "It will add propellant to a raging firesale of crypto assets."
Hayes also noted that the second half of April could be a "precarious period for risky assets" due to factors like U.S. tax payments removing liquidity, the Fed initiating QT, and the Treasury's TGA remaining unused.
After the Fed's meeting on May 1st, Hayes expects a slowdown in money supply tightening and anticipates the Treasury will infuse "most likely, an additional $1 trillion of liquidity into the system, which will pump markets."
Hayes' predictions come at a time when Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a year-to-date increase of over 61.55%, trading at $71,359 as of April 11th, 2023. Hayes, who previously suggested caution before dismissing all meme coins as "stupid," has also forecasted Bitcoin's potential rise to a $1 million valuation.
Despite the predicted volatility, market analysts are forecasting a potential rally that could see Bitcoin's value soar to new heights. However, the impact of the upcoming Bitcoin halving and the Federal Reserve's policies on the crypto market remains to be seen.
"The Bitcoin halving and the Federal Reserve's strategies will have a significant impact on crypto asset prices," said Hayes. "Investors should be prepared for a period of volatility and should adjust their trading strategies accordingly."
The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and can be influenced by a wide range of factors. Investors should always conduct their own research and consider seeking professional financial advice before making any investment decisions.
