Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin to Reach Up To $1 million by 2026

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and a prominent macro-analyst, has boldly forecasted that Bitcoin’s value will skyrocket to a range between $750,000 and $1,000,000 per coin by 2026. His outlook, considerably more optimistic than that of most financial experts, is based on a macroeconomic theory asserting an imminent unprecedented surge in all financial assets.

In an interview with Impact Theory recently published, Hayes anticipated that Bitcoin will maintain its current price range of approximately $25,000 to $30,000 for this year, followed by a surge beyond its previous all-time peak of $69,000 by the conclusion of 2024. He attributed next year’s gains to a growing economy, which would push real-interest rates into negative territory, motivating investors to seek higher returns in riskier areas of the economy, including the cryptocurrency market.

Hayes also pointed to other bullish factors, such as Bitcoin’s upcoming halving event in April and the potential launch of more spot Bitcoin ETFs by major asset managers, including BlackRock in the United States. According to Hayes, this will mark the commencement of the “real excitement.”

In his own words, Hayes stated, “My optimistic target is within the range of $750,000 to $1,000,000, and I expect this surge to occur by 2026. I firmly believe that this will constitute the most substantial bull market in the history of financial assets.”

It’s important to note that Hayes’ bullish outlook extends beyond Bitcoin, encompassing other financial instruments like Nasdaq, S&P500, various stock indices, and different forms of real estate, all of which he predicts will experience remarkable price surges. “We are poised to witness an abundance of astonishing price levels, not limited to the cryptocurrency market,” he remarked.
