BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom investment director Arthur Hayes predicts a short-term decline in Bitcoin’s price to $100,000, and Ethereum to $3,000. According to him, the crypto market is under growing pressure due to economic instability in the US, including rising unemployment and potential new trade tariffs proposed by President Donald Trump.
Key pressure factors:
- muted credit growth in major economies,
- slowing GDP and international trade,
- escalating geoeconomic tensions.
However, Hayes does not see the crypto correction as fatal. He believes fundamental macroeconomic trends — particularly the declining trust in fiat currencies — will eventually support digital assets.
Hayes expects Bitcoin to recover faster than Ethereum, which is more vulnerable to liquidity swings and depends more on investment fund interest, especially amid a slowdown in the DeFi sector.
Previously, Arthur Hayes stated that Bitcoin could hit $1 million by 2030 and urged investors to “get on board while they still can.”
