BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said Bitcoin could get a major boost if global central banks step back into money printing.
He linked the recent rise in the Japanese yen to possible U.S. Federal Reserve action, saying new liquidity could enter markets and help push Bitcoin toward $200,000 by March 2026.
According to Hayes, there is growing talk that Japan may step in to strengthen its currency, possibly with help from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Recently, the yen jumped about 1.75% to 155.63 per dollar.
This sudden move followed reports that the New York Fed contacted major banks to check conditions in the yen market.
Arthur Hayes believes that if the Fed supports the yen, it would likely do so by printing dollars, creating new banking reserves, and using those funds to buy yen. If this happens, the Fed’s balance sheet would expand under its foreign currency assets line, a figure that is reported weekly in the H.4.1 release.
Right now, that line sits near $19.1 billion.
Hayes says this kind of liquidity expansion has historically been very positive for Bitcoin.
Although no official action has been confirmed, traders see this as a sign that intervention may be coming.
Hayes remains strongly bullish if liquidity returns. He believes Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by March 2026 if the Fed starts expanding its balance sheet again.
In an even more aggressive outlook, he has suggested Bitcoin could climb as high as $500,000 by the end of the year if global money flows accelerate.
Despite rising speculation, Bitcoin is currently trading near $89,500, showing little reaction so far.
