Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, recently shared his investment strategy and some pretty daring predictions for the crypto market. He’s known for his outspoken views, so let’s dive into what he had to say.
Hayes’ Portfolio: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a Sprinkle of “Shitcoins”
Hayes revealed the makeup of his family office’s investment fund, the Maelstrom Fund. It’s heavily weighted towards Bitcoin and Ethereum: roughly 60% Bitcoin and 20% Ethereum. The rest is a mix of other altcoins, investments in token projects, physical gold, gold mining stocks, and Treasury bills.
Price Predictions: To the Moon (and Back Down)?
Hayes is bullish on Bitcoin, predicting a price surge to between $150,000 and $200,000 sometime this summer. He even anticipates Bitcoin hitting $250,000 by the end of the year, though he acknowledges a significant correction will likely occur along the way. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $105,070.
For Ethereum, Hayes is a bit more cautious, targeting $5,000 by year’s end. He thinks that milestone would boost investor confidence, potentially pushing ETH to $10,000 or even $20,000 later. Ethereum’s current price is around $2,513.
Altcoin Outlook: A New “Hot Thing” on the Horizon
Hayes believes that altcoins will also see a boom, but cautions against investing in already overvalued projects. He expects new narratives and “hot” altcoins to emerge, driving the next wave of altcoin investment.
