Arthur Hayes Gives $250K BTC Price Target By Year-End

Key Insights:

  • Analysts see continued buying pressure for BTC price with potential targets at $131K, $144K, and $157K, while $117K acts as strong support.
  • Arthur Hayes pro-crypto policies under Donald Trump, including potential crypto access for 401K funds and tax cuts, could lead to massive Bitcoin rally.
  • According to 10x Research, Asian trading hours contributed 25% to Bitcoin’s recent 16% rally.

BTC price regained strength once again, surging another 1.5% and shooting past $119,000, hinting that the rally is likely to continue following the recent pause. On the other hand, veteran investor Arthur Hayes gave the Bitcoin price target of $250,000 by the year-end, citing a major boost through the Trump credit line. With Market optimism staying strong, BTC could soon bounce back to fresh all-time highs from here.

Arthur Hayes Gives BTC Price Target of $250,000 By 2025-End

Arthur Hayes, crypto investor and co-founder of BitMEX, is calling for BTC price to skyrocket to $250,000 by the end of 2025. Hayes gives key reasons like massive credit expansion, wartime spending, and favorable U.S. crypto policy for this massive Bitcoin price target. Thus, according to Hayes, the asset is poised for another 100% rally from the current levels.

Hayes argues that the U.S. government’s pivot to “economic fascism,” which includes centralized industrial policy combined with massive defense spending, will pump trillions into the economy, fueling inflation and driving demand for scarce assets like Bitcoin.

Hayes added that Bitcoin is the best-performing fiat-denominated asset in human history. Thus he believes that when credit grows, BTC price pumps. As inflation rises due to excessive credit creation, Hayes believes governments will intentionally “blow a bubble” in crypto as a politically safer outlet for inflation.

Furthermore, President Donald Trump himself has $620 million worth of crypto holdings. Recently, he also proposed to sign an executive order and allow 401K retirement funds to gain exposure to crypto assets. Additionally, there’s also a discussion on elimination of crypto taxes, which could all be a major catalyst for the digital assets industry as per Hayes.

Key Bitcoin Price Levels on Radar

Bitcoin (BTC) has successfully reached the $121,000 mark after breaking out of a key trading channel, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez. The cryptocurrency is currently consolidating at this level, suggesting a pause after its recent rally.

Martinez noted that the sustained buying pressure may keep the uptrend intact, with potential upside targets at $131,000, $144,000, and $157,000 if momentum continues. Veteran investor Robert Kiyosaki also said that as long as $117K support holds, Bitcoin can rally to $131,000.

Martinez reports a significant accumulation of liquidation levels around the $121,100 mark. He indicates that BTC price may be gearing up for another short-term rebound. This liquidation wall could act as a key support zone, potentially triggering a bounce as traders adjust positions.

Asian Investors Drive BTC Price Rally

Analysts at 10x Research pointed out that the latest surge in the crypto market has largely been driven by traders in the Asian time zone. While Bitcoin has gained 16% overall during the rally, Asian trading hours alone accounted for a 25% gain. CruptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju also validated this, noting:

In contrast, European hours saw a net decline of 6%, and U.S. trading hours fell 3%. This shows that Western traders may be taking profits rather than buying into the momentum.

Ethereum showed a similar trend. Over the past month, ETH has surged 63%, with 96% of the rally happening during Asian trading sessions. Again, Europe and the U.S. dragged the numbers down with net declines of 26% and 7%, respectively.
