Arthur Hayes Predicts $1M Bitcoin as Japan’s New PM Unleashes Stimulus, QE Pivot Looms

Source: Binance News | 14h ago

Japan’s newly appointed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has announced a sweeping economic stimulus package aimed at curbing inflation and supporting small businesses through subsidies, regional grants, and wage-boosting initiatives.

However, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes believes this move could unleash a new wave of money printing, potentially driving Bitcoin (BTC) to $1 million.

“Translation: let’s print money to hand out to folks,” Hayes wrote on X, calling the policy a bullish trigger for Bitcoin and volatility in the yen.

Following Takaichi’s announcement, the Japanese yen weakened, signaling that markets expect the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to pivot back to quantitative easing (QE). Analysts note that such a shift would expand liquidity globally — a key driver for Bitcoin and other risk assets.

Bitcoin price: ~$108,000 (+1.17%)

Whale activity: Large investors opened fresh leveraged long positions after BTC’s dip to $104,000, including multimillion-dollar longs tracked by Lookonchain.

Analysts see this as a renewed wave of bullish sentiment tied to expectations of expanding global liquidity.

Hayes and other macro observers argue that Japan’s return to stimulus — at a time when over 80% of global central banks already engage in QE — could ignite Bitcoin’s next parabolic rally.
