Hayes: Fed Cuts or Yuan Devaluation Key BTC Surge Catalysts

  • Arthur Hayes identifies two key catalysts for next Bitcoin surge: Fed cuts or Yuan devaluation

  • Hayes emphasizes potential Yuan devaluation, citing history (2013, ’15, ’17) of China capital flight boosting BTC

  • Believes Fed easing or China currency move could override tariff noise, fuel BTC rally

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes identified two macro developments he believes could soon trigger a Bitcoin surge, looking beyond the immediate market volatility caused by U.S. tariff policies. 

His focus centers on Federal Reserve interest rate cut decisions and, more pointedly, a possible devaluation of the Chinese Yuan.

Spotlight on Potential Chinese Yuan Devaluation

Hayes emphasized via X that a devaluation of China’s currency by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) could provide Bitcoin holders with major upside catalysts – what he termed “yachtzee ingredients.” He argued this isn’t theoretical, drawing parallels to past events.

If not the Fed then the PBOC will give us the yachtzee ingredients.

CNY deval = narrative that Chinese capital flight will flow into $BTC.

It worked in 2013 , 2015, and can work in 2025.
