Hayes claims that the global money printing process is far from over, and the target for BTC to rise to 250,000 this year remains unchanged.

Recently, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in an interview with Kyle Chassé that investors should ignore the short-term price fluctuations of Bitcoin and instead focus on the macro liquidity forces that will drive cryptocurrencies to record levels.

Arthur Hayes believes that the traditional four-year cycle theory is no longer applicable, and that the global government's monetary expansion policies will be the key driving force behind the continuation of the Bitcoin bull market until 2026.

Hayes pointed out in an interview that the Fed and ECB policymakers are expected to continue printing money and implementing fiscal stimulus to address political and economic instability, especially against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions and the decline of a unipolar world order.

He also pointed out that the political situation in the United States may exacerbate this trend, with a series of large-scale fiscal spending plans expected to be launched during President Trump's second term, particularly starting in mid-2026.

These policies will also create a favorable environment for stocks and cryptocurrencies, making BTC a more growth-oriented investment choice than traditional assets.

In response to some new investors' questions about why the BTC price has not yet reached $150,000, Hayes believes that expecting to get rich overnight is unrealistic, and the real advantage lies in years of compounded excess returns.

Back to the crypto market, although Bitcoin briefly rose to $116,000 on Monday before retreating to around $115,000, Hayes still maintains an optimistic outlook for Bitcoin and reiterates that BTC is expected to reach a target of $250,000 by 2025.

He also acknowledged that although the peak of market liquidity may ultimately bring risks, we are still far from the outbreak peak. Therefore, patience is essential to profit from Bitcoin's role as a hedge against currency depreciation.

Hayes also compared the long-term price performance of BTC with traditional assets, pointing out that although the U.S. stock market may be rising in dollar terms, it has shown almost no signs of recovery when measured against gold since the 2008 financial crisis, and its returns are even less related when compared to Bitcoin.
