increasingly ambitious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"152\" data-end=\"727\">One of the most widely discussed predictions comes from Arthur Hayes, co-founder and former CEO of crypto exchange BitMEX, who believes Bitcoin will soar to $1 million within the next three years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_308852\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-308852\" class=\"wp-caption

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/bitcoin\/\">CoinMarketCap<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"152\" data-end=\"727\">Hayes shared this estimate in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptohayes.medium.com\/fatty-fatty-boom-boom-52e47a03f487\">a blog post<\/a> published on 15 May, citing global macroeconomic factors as the primary catalysts behind such a dramatic rise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"152\" data-end=\"727\">His comments follow a recent surge in institutional interest and ongoing concerns around fiat currency stability.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"794\">Global capital controls and US Treasury risk fuel bullish case<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"796\" data-end=\"1358\">Hayes argues that two key developments are paving the way for Bitcoin\u2019s potential seven-figure price point: capital repatriation and the devaluation of United States Treasurys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"796\" data-end=\"1358\">According to him, as governments impose tighter capital controls and attempt to manage sovereign debt, investors will seek refuge in decentralised assets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"796\" data-end=\"1358\">He suggests that Bitcoin, given its finite supply and growing institutional legitimacy, will become a preferred store of value, especially in regions where economic instability undermines confidence in traditional banking systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1827\">He emphasises that \u201cforeign capital repatriation\u201d and the diminishing purchasing power of massive holdings in US Treasurys will act as core accelerants for BTC\u2019s price trajectory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1827\">Hayes claims these pressures are likely to intensify depending on the outcome of the next US presidential election in 2028.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1827\">His logic hinges on how the next administration might shift economic and fiscal policy, potentially hastening investor flight into alternative assets like Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"1829\" data-end=\"1891\">Central banks and policy uncertainty boost Bitcoin\u2019s appeal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"2312\">Hayes\u2019 forecast coincides with a broader divergence in policy responses across regions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"2312\">While some countries are increasing their acceptance of Bitcoin, others, especially in Europe, are considering more stringent controls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"2312\">He criticised the European Central Bank for being overly restrictive, contrasting its stance with that of China, which, despite banning crypto trading, has not outlawed private Bitcoin ownership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2616\">He warned that attempts to suppress Bitcoin in the eurozone could backfire, likening such policies to ineffective central planning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2616\">In his view, institutional and retail investors in these regions should act quickly to shift wealth into decentralised assets before tighter restrictions come into force.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2618\" data-end=\"2807\">These geopolitical risks, combined with concerns over inflation, currency debasement, and ballooning government debt, are helping to solidify Bitcoin\u2019s image as a hedge against systemic risk.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"2809\" data-end=\"2854\">Big players see long-term growth potential<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2856\" data-end=\"3317\">Hayes is not alone in his optimism. Institutional leaders, including Michael Saylor, CEO of business intelligence firm Strategy, and asset management giants like Fidelity Investments, have echoed similar sentiments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2856\" data-end=\"3317\">Saylor, whose firm holds the largest Bitcoin reserve among public companies, has projected a long-term valuation of $10 trillion for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2856\" data-end=\"3317\">His personal prediction stretches even further, with a price target of $13 million per coin by 2045.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3319\" data-end=\"3648\">Meanwhile, Hayes\u2019 near-term forecasts have proven to be relatively accurate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3319\" data-end=\"3648\">In April, he anticipated a return to the $100,000 level, while also identifying the mid-$70,000 range as a local bottom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3319\" data-end=\"3648\">These predictions aligned closely with recent price movements, bolstering his credibility among retail and institutional investors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3650\" data-end=\"3857\">Although a 900% price gain from current levels might seem far-fetched, proponents argue that in an era of growing debt and diminishing trust in fiat currencies, Bitcoin\u2019s asymmetric upside cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/arthur-hayes-sees-bitcoin-at-1m-by-2028-heres-why\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Key drivers include capital controls and Treasury devaluation.
