Arthur Hayes Warns of Harsh Bitcoin Correction, Reveals Portfolio Strategy

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.

Inside Maelstrom Fund: Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Way

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.

Bitcoin’s Big Run: $250,000 by Year-End?

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’s Uphill Battle and Altcoin Wildcard

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.

Bitcoin as a Reserve Currency? Hayes Explains

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.

A Market to Watch

Hayes’ analytics and Maelstrom’s actions signal a dynamic crypto transformation. Will his predictions hold? Investors are all ears in this highly volatile crypto market.
