Bitcoin could be headed for an all-time high of $250,000 by the end of 2025, says Arthur Hayes who is the co founder of BitMEX.

Though most traders and analysts are still apprehensive, Hayes believes that increasing fiat supply will become a driving force for Bitcoin’s price escalation.

How US Federal Reserve’s Monetary Policy Can Drive Up Bitcoin Prices
The Federal Reserve has a large influence on financial markets, such as Bitcoin. Hayes describes Bitcoin’s value as being directly proportional to the amount of fiat currency being printed. When the Fed injects more money into the economy, assets such as Bitcoin will appreciate as investors look for alternatives to the depreciating value of conventional money.
On April 1, 2025, the Fed cut its monthly Treasury runoff limit from $25 billion to $5 billion. This is a strong sign that the US government will begin printing more money to stimulate economic growth in the near future. Hayes feels that this is just the tip of the iceberg and that full-fledged QE is on the way, resulting in a gigantic Bitcoin rally.
Not Everyone Concur with the $250K Prognosis
Although Hayes is hopeful, most analysts are more conservative about the potential price of Bitcoin in 2025. Real Vision chief crypto analyst Jamie Coutts believes Bitcoin might hit $132,000, using past market cycles and trends in liquidity as his guide.
Additionally, a survey from Polymarket, a decentralized predictions platform, shows that only 9% of traders believe Bitcoin will hit $250,000, while 60% expect Bitcoin to reach $110,000 by the end of the year.
Short-term market challenges may delay Bitcoin’s rally
While long-term drivers favor Bitcoin’s growth, short-term threats persist. Global economic uncertainty, such as trade tariffs and regulatory issues, is one of the key concerns. The US government’s future tariff announcements may affect financial markets and decelerate Bitcoin’s momentum.
Even with this setback, Arthur Hayes is still on board with his prediction. He disclosed that he has aggressively purchased Bitcoin between $90,000 and $76,500, assured that the Fed will over saturate the marketplace with dollars, propelling Bitcoin to new records.
