Arthur Hayes: Bitcoin will regain its former growth momentum

Despite the fact that Bitcoin underperformed gold and technology stocks last year, its bullish trend cannot be stopped, according to crypto enthusiast Arthur Hayes.

“If gold and Nasdaq have sufficient liquidity, how can Bitcoin regain its previous growth rate? This requires an expansion of dollar liquidity. I believe this will happen in 2026. Bitcoin is a ‘monetary technology,’ and its value is determined solely by the degree of fiat currency debasement,” he said.

Hayes pointed to several factors that will drive a “sharp increase” in dollar liquidity in 2026:

• expansion of the Federal Reserve balance sheet through money creation;
• a decline in mortgage rates as liquidity continues to ease;
• increased willingness of commercial banks to lend to strategic industries supported by the U.S. government.

An expansion of the money supply almost always benefits Bitcoin, as investors are drawn to riskier assets such as cryptocurrencies in anticipation of a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar due to inflation, the investor concluded.

Earlier, Arthur Hayes said that cheap oil in the United States and an inflow of liquidity into the crypto market would drive further growth in the leading cryptocurrency.
