Robert Kiyosaki cautions investors about impending economic turmoil, advocating for Bitcoin, gold, and silver as hedges against systemic risks. He traces financial instability back to the 1971 abandonment of the gold standard and cites past crises like the 1998 LTCM collapse and 2008 financial crash as precursors to deeper issues. Kiyosaki warns that central banks’ reliance on money printing erodes trust in fiat currencies, while soaring student loan debt poses a potential credit shock. He emphasizes Bitcoin’s capped supply and precious metals’ historical resilience as advantages over inflationary paper money. Investors are advised to monitor debt levels, loan defaults, and currency devaluation trends.

Arthur Hayes: Treasury, Not Fed, Drives Bitcoin Bull Market
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and principal of Maelstrom Capital, asserts that the US Treasury’s liquidity maneuvers—not the Federal Reserve—are driving the current bull market in Bitcoin and other risk assets. Hayes highlights how Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s 2022 shift to short-dated bills injected dormant cash into global markets, sparking rallies. He predicts continued fiscal expansion under Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, with Bitcoin benefiting from increased dollar circulation. Hayes maintains a bullish $1 million BTC target by 2028, citing unsustainable US debt growth. His portfolio is 60-65% Bitcoin, 20% Ether, and the rest in revenue-generating altcoins like Pendle and EtherFi. A weaker dollar, he argues, will further bolster crypto demand.

Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX, suggests the crypto market is primed for a significant rally similar to the 2022 surge, fueled by fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) and anticipated central bank money printing. Hayes believes worsening macroeconomic conditions will push Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to higher valuations, drawing parallels to the 2022-2025 period when Bitcoin rose sixfold. He predicts Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) could peak at 70% before altcoins outperform, with Bitcoin potentially reaching $150,000. Currently, Bitcoin trades at $94,030, down 1.8% in 24 hours, while BTC.D stands at 64.81%.
read moreBitcoin to Surge Past $110K on Treasury Buybacks: Hayes
Arthur Hayes, ex-CEO of BitMEX, argues that US Treasury bond buybacks are creating a hidden liquidity wave that will propel Bitcoin to new all-time highs above $110,000, with potential to reach $200,000. He links this to the Treasury’s strategy of issuing new debt to repurchase illiquid bonds, which indirectly boosts market liquidity by enabling hedge fund basis trades. Hayes compares the current setup to 2022, when similar conditions preceded Bitcoin’s 6x surge. While Bitcoin remains the primary beneficiary, he suggests altcoins could rally later if BTC breaks resistance. The analysis hinges on continued monetary expansion and Bitcoin reasserting its role as a digital gold amid fiat debasement concerns.
read moreArthur Hayes Forecasts $200K Bitcoin Amid Treasury Buybacks
Crypto heavyweight Arthur Hayes forecasts Bitcoin (BTC) could rally to $200,000, citing U.S. Treasury bond buybacks as a key catalyst. In his essay ‘Ski Cut,’ Hayes argues that the Treasury’s repurchase of older bonds will unleash dollar liquidity, mirroring late 2022 when BTC surged 6x after similar Fed actions. He highlights two critical factors: continued Treasury buybacks to suppress bond yields and potential Fed easing, despite inflation rhetoric. Bitcoin, trading near $93,531, has already gained 11.8% this week, outpacing the broader crypto market. Hayes positions BTC as the ultimate hedge against fiat debasement, especially amid geopolitical uncertainty like Trump’s tariff threats.
