Arthur Hayes Remains Bullish but Won't Buy After Bitcoin Hits $70K Until Fed Eases Policy
Arthur Hayes remains bullish on Bitcoin but says he will not buy until the U.S. Federal Reserve eases policy and prints money.
Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes said he remains a long-term Bitcoin bull but is not ready to buy now, telling Coin Stories he “wouldn’t bet $1” on BTC until the U.S. Federal Reserve eases policy and begins printing money [1][2].
Hayes and multiple crypto outlets framed the next major Bitcoin cycle as dependent on Fed-driven liquidity, saying he will stay on the sidelines until such a monetary policy shift materializes [2][3].
Bitcoin reclaimed the $70,000 level and social sentiment improved after comments from Donald Trump suggesting tensions with Iran may be easing, but Hayes reiterated he will wait for a Fed policy pivot before buying into the rally [1].
Analysts have cautioned that a war escalation or a hawkish Fed pivot could still reverse the recent gains, underscoring the geopolitical and monetary risks Hayes cited as reasons to remain sidelined [5][6].
In short, Hayes maintains a long-term bullish view on Bitcoin but is explicitly waiting for Fed easing and increased liquidity before re-entering the market, while observers note geopolitical and Fed risks could alter the outlook [1][2][5].
