The bitcoin price has lost 15% since peaking at almost $32,000 per bitcoin earlier this year, dragging down the price of other top ten coins ethereum and XRP—despite the market bracing for a huge Wall Street earthquake.
Now, as billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones issues a “cataclysmic” U.S. dollar warning, legendary bitcoin and crypto trader Arthur Hayes has predicted “trillions of dollars” are about to hit the crypto market—heralding a massive price bull run.

“It’s just so ridiculous how much money is going to be printed over the next two to three years while the central banks try to save the government bond markets that I guess I’m just so bullish on bitcoin, crypto, certain stocks [and] so bearish on fiat just because there’s going to be umpteenth more trillions of dollars of it,” Hayes, who cofounded crypto derivatives pioneer BitMex, told YouTuber Ran Neuner.
Hayes claims that the Federal Reserve and central banks in Europe and Asia, including the U.S., will be forced to issue more debt in the coming years. This will boost speculative risk assets like bitcoin, ethereum and XRP, while simultaneously weakening the U.S. Dollar.
“We also saw some dovish shifts in Fed officials’ stance on monetary policy this week as a handful of them suggested higher long-term yield will do the job for them,” Yuya Hasegawa, a crypto market analyst with Tokyo-based Bitbank, wrote in an emailed note, adding “the macro environment is starting to shift in favor of [bitcoin].
Last week, analysts at the investment bank Jefferies warned the Fed will be forced to restart its money printer—potentially collapsing the U.S. dollar and fueling a bitcoin price boom to rival gold.
Hayes, meanwhile, pointed out that the commercialization of AI (artificial intelligence) in this year could be the catalyst for a major overhaul of the financial and economic system. He called it the most revolutionary development of all times.

Hayes, a prominent bitcoin analyst, made headlines in the first week of this month by predicting that the bitcoin price would rocket to $1,000,000 by 2026.
“There is going to be a major financial crisis, probably as bad or worse than the great depression, sometime near the end of the decade; before we get there, we’re gonna have, I think, the largest bull market in stocks, real estate, crypto, art, you name it, that we’ve ever seen since World War 2,” Hayes told YouTuber Tom Bilyeu.
