Arthur Hayes, Maelstrom CIO, predicts $BTC could surge to $250,000 by year-end—more than doubling from current levels.

His optimism is based on expected US liquidity expansion, fueled by Fed rate cuts and currency supply growth.

Hayes also notes President Trump’s efforts to replace Fed officials with pro-money-printing allies could accelerate this trend.

While Hayes is neutral on Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle, he prioritizes liquidity as the key driver.

With roughly 100 days left in 2025, if US policy aligns, Hayes expects a potentially extended bullish market cycle for $BTC.
