BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is back with a sharp take on the crypto market, revealing his portfolio and laying out bold predictions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins in a new interview.
Speaking on the Bankless YouTube channel, Hayes gave a full rundown of his family office Maelstrom Fund’s strategy and warned of some turbulence ahead – even as he remains confident in a strong bull run.
Hayes said that the Maelstrom Fund is largely anchored by the two biggest cryptocurrencies.
“Maelstrom [Fund] is about like 60% Bitcoin, 20% Ethereum. And then a lot of other shitcoins, term sheets of token deals and stuff,” he said.
As for his non-crypto assets, Hayes is holding physical gold, gold mining stocks, and treasury bills. He sees this mix as a way to balance high-risk opportunities in crypto with more traditional, stable investments.
With Bitcoin trading at $106,480 (may differ), Hayes is bullish, predicting a surge to $150,000–$200,000 by summer 2025, a potential 90% jump.
But brace for impact: he expects a “nasty correction” before Bitcoin rockets to $250,000 by the end of 2025. His confidence stems from market cycles and macroeconomic trends, though he didn’t shy away from the volatility ahead.
Ethereum, now at $2,528 (may vary), faces a tougher road. Hayes pegs $5,000 as a key milestone by year-end, potentially reigniting hype that could push ETH to $10,000 or even $20,000 at the cycle’s peak.
Hayes expects a vibrant season for altcoins driven by fresh narratives and decentralized exchange gems, but warns against overhyped, high-FDV tokens with no traction. Only the innovative will shine.
Arthur Hayes sees Bitcoin as a global reserve currency if the U.S. dollar’s credibility fades due to ‘reckless‘ treasury spending.
Its ‘decentralized‘, fixed-supply nature positions it as a digital alternative to gold, hedging against fiat collapse.
